Kinnison in top form. Although scripted, he knows where and when to go in to his lunatic act by the rhythm of the sketch and it totally works.

[@chasbodaniels1744]

Yep, great observation! His escalation was seamless. Of course that was his shtick for a long time.

Finally a teacher who calls it the way he sees it !!

Watch back to school

OHHH, OHHHHHHH!

[@BrianCarnevaleB26]

when SNL was still so special cuz the CHURCH LADY had us in stitches!

[@Agent1W]

@@BrianCarnevaleB26 LOL Sam Kinison should have been a guest on Church Chat, as in being an interviewee!

[@John29112]

This is exactly how i would do a teacher/parent interview if i won the lottery and didn't care at all.

[@jeffstewart3342]

I saw Sam in Pensacola Fla. way back in the day. It was one hell of a rock n roll party. legends never die

It's great to see a comedian who actually cares about comedy

He is right because it's a profound kid version of Scream by Edvard Munch.

"Buried Alive!", one of my favorite children books.

[@serpentines6356]

This skit was great! That picture pleading for help just cracked me up!

[@Trobtwillis]

One of my favorite SNL skits. I've watched it repeatedly, and I still LOL. 😄🗯️ RIP Jan and Sam. ☹️ 💔

The late Jan Hooks and the late Sam Kinison.

Truth is, given time, we'll all join then.

I'd say it was early...

[@stacyhamilton2619]

Why is that your focus, Sarah?

[@fullbag50]

I do not think it is right to discuss their tardiness. Especially since both of them are dead.

And the punctual Kevin Nealon.

God, I remember watching this live when it first aired as a child and laughing my ass off. Sam Kinison was so funny and this world wasn’t ready for him. Sad to think that two of the five people in this sketch are dead now.

[@h8makingupnames]

Damn, I didn't know Jan Hooks had passed away until I looked up everyone in the skit.

[@justonemori]

This is pretty good. The professor role on Back to School was one of my favorites of his.
