"I don't think this is fair, he's a psychic". The way she delivered that was hilarious.

[@adwelphinehas]

I loved that too but didn't actually make an audible laugh out loud till hearing how dismissive Phil Hartmans reaction was to it with his "alright alright.." 🤣

[@johnmarr2695]

Jan Hooks is honestly one of the funniest sketch comedy artists ever. Her ability to deadpan and NOT BREAK when working with God's of the absurd like Hartman, lovitz and Myers is just phenomenal.

[@martinez-shaffer]

Agreed!- like in the People's Court sketch when she says, "I am a barfly." 🤣🤣🤣

[@chadgradsphere7648]

She's so underrated.

[@johnmarr2695]

@@chadgradsphere7648 she really is. I think it's because she's the perennial straight woman of the act. The Everyman/woman never gets their flowers because for most, they remember the crazy player. Someone that has gotten accolades for their ability to be the straight man is David spade. Him and Jan are neck and neck as best straight players in SNL history.

[@harrychristian4291]

Considering all of your words and punctuation, that's absolutely ridiculous.

[@labanyadatta251]

this is the sketch that was supposed to be part of the cold opening of the first show of 1987. In the dress rehearsal this was the cold opening, however, church lady and her "isn't that special" drew huge laughs and that got promoted to the cold opening. This was supposed to be Dana Carvey's first sketch in SNL

[@GlennDavey]

Nevertheless, a hugely charming debut from Carvey. Instant chemistry with his co-stars. Some people are just born to do it.

[@MarvinMonroe]

First show of 1987? What do you mean by that? January? Description says this aired in October 1986. I'm wondering if this was the first episode of the 86-87 season and that's what you meant. 86-87 was when SNL became great again with Dana and Phil and Jan and Kevin and everyone. I was in 2nd grade
