Totally agreed! What a gift he has...what a lucky man! Clearly the movies - and moreso, the theatre, was what this man and his wonderful voice were utterly made for.

[@johnhanamy9795]

He's actually from Yorkshire in the north of England. His native accent is quite different.

[@menotyouneverever8784]

McDowell can do comedy. Caligula is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen.

[@viborgvee8399]

Caligula was intended to be a black comedy but ended up being something totally deranged and demonic.

Haha nice one. Just rewatched it again for kicks and it was even worse than I remembered, atrocious directing and writing. Can’t believe the caliber of actors they snagged for this such as O’Toole, Gielgud and Mirren

Simp is another one. It's weird how these words are suddenly making a comeback and people are thinking it's new slang or whatever

[@kangadillo]

I remember this episode. It included a very funny parody of John and Yoko, and McDowell played John to perfection. Of course this was before John was murdered, which happened months later. The following summer when the episode was re-run, the John and Yoko sketch was deleted.

[@cellytron]

A fun-ish fact; McDowell felt guilty about making fun of John Lennon so soon before his death, but later he learned that John and Yoko had watched the episode live, and they absolutely loved it and thought he was hilarious.

[@87dramarama]

one month later

[@ThisBirdHasFlown]

I thought it was a bad impression and a terribly unfunny sketch. I'm not biased being a Beatles fan. I love impressions and I love Dowell but that one didn't work for me. Glad John liked it at least.

[@Toosii2times]

I wonder if it exists anywhere on the internet

[@listeniolistenio5160]

Mcdowell does have the best voice EVER, its just so interesting.

[@masonhorsley1505]

There will never be another actor like Malcolm McDowell who could tremble you and make you fear for your life like the puny mortal you were. Are his characters truly mortal? Or is it just that no one can prove it?

[@709SEA]

He’s still an actor. Actively working.

[@norouziman8748]

Maybe one of them

[@sarahbeardsley]

he has such swagger 😭

[@johnwatts8346]

in every example ive ever come across of mcdowell speaking as himself he comes across as a highly intelligent bloody great bloke damn fine chap, and hes a truly great actor with an awesome speaking voice and special charisma, just like michael caine- simply impossible not to like.

[@TrueWalker88]

In his personal life, he was awful, a cheater, womanizer and deadbeat dad. Pretty unlikeable. Must've been a narcissist, to charm women and audiences, while being an overall letdown.

[@henryblaylock2946]

I love how he used the word clout in 1980 that made me laugh out loud

[@michaelorlando4761]

That is actually a very old word that made a comeback.

[@kashesan]

Something so charming about him.

[@TrueWalker88]

Worst SNL monologue ever, he just complained, said nothing funny and then with no segue just ended it.

[@kamuelalee]

"The only reason I did this bloody show was to get a new permit anyway!" I believe it, by November 1980 Saturday Night Live had gone downhill.

[@ptalove]

He is really good person on all movies and outthere. Hard worker and real man.

I always thought that he'd of been a brilliant Doctor Who around about this time.

[@niksatt4843]

Good call.

[@monsieuraout]

In his excitement for having renewed his work permit and avoided deportation I just realised that he _forgot_ to announce that week's musical guest.

[@NewhamMatt]

According to Wikipedia, SNL veterans rank this as one of (if not the) worst nights in the show's history. Malcolm McDowell's monologue, on the other hand, was actually one of the more interesting ones from Season 6.

[@MickPosch]

Check out the other ones from season 6 - they typically had one joke at best. A lot of them didn't even sound scripted - the host (often rather weakly) would just mumble for a few moments before getting to "We'll be right back".

First few years, it was hilarious.

[@TrueWalker88]

He was only 37 here, about to become a father for the first time. The thing is, he had already been married for 5 years when he impregnated someone else. At 25, he met a 34 year old divorcee and married her 6 years later. Another three years into the marriage, when he was 34, he began an affair with a 25 year old woman whom he impregnated about a year later, about 7 months before this SNL appearance. Two months before this broadcast, he had divorced his first wife and married his second wife in the same month. Two months after this broadcast, his first child was born. They had a second child two years later and then got divorced 8 years later, 12 years after they had met. He got married right away, the year after his second divorce to a 24 year old when he was 48, and his kids were only 9 and 11. After another 10 years went by, he had three more children with his third wife, now in her 30s while he was nearly 60. Now he's 80 with teenagers born in the 2000s. A real piece of work, that's the track record of a narcissist and womanizer.
