Ray Sharkey Monologue - Saturday Night Live

[@bcolefilms5761]

That fall wasn't planned. It shattered his confidence on impact.

[@7beers]

I'll say one thing about this: I've never seen someone better convey the passion that many people feel for New York.

[@katiejohston7423]

That's because he is high. You can do that too if you inject yourself with 5 pound of cocainena

[@swastikausa]

a close second might be ernie hudson in ghostbusters.

[@dwdwdw11]

He was so great in Cop and a Half!

[@jasonmalone230]

Condoms?! Hey, fugetaboutit!

[@JayMalone26]

Threw me off there. Saw the name and thought I left the comment! Had to double check I didn't have another account and forgotaboutit!

[@rfdagreat9207]

Yeah, like Real Life - and Death- For Real.

[@dawnlee866]

@@rfdagreat9207he infected a couple women because he was in denial. Sad😢

Love Ray Sharkey

[@johnjoe82]

Cocaine's a hell of a drug...

[@joliecide]

John Joe yup was expecting him to snort up halfway through his speech.

He was a heroin addict.

[@soulvigilante]

I typed the same comment, scrolled down a few more and saw you beat me to it by 6 years. Game recognizes game.

[@russellj.s.257]

The Charlie Sheen of the early 80s before anybody knew who Charlie Sheen was.

[@corduerorose9747]

And you pay the consequences 🎗

[@atonyrome]

Ray Sharkey he was brilliant as the manager in the Idolmaker. Seems wound up here. He also starred. As Sonny Steelgrave in Wise Guy with Ken Wahl. He had a few brilliant performances but drugs did him in.

[@thaisonroofing1963]

AIDS

[@mikerotonda6264]

That he got from a dirty needle....so , like he said, drugs did him in

[@swastikausa]

he was clearly high here. high and amazing.

[@Coodeville]

He was in the hospital the same time as my dad. I met him

[@skipads5141]

He was an absolute scumlord, deliberately giving women AIDS.

[@crazyralph6386]

High as balls

[@brianpomeroy9624]

I'll bet he's on speed or something.

[@Musty_Moth]

It's 80's New York, if you weren't on yop you weren't on top

[@skinoff89]

Eyy forgetaboutit eyyyyy

[@skipads5141]

That was terrible, by an absolutely terrible human being.

[@theweirdturnprofessional9321]

RIP dear soul. You are in a better place now.

[@dawnlee866]

I don’t know about RIP, he infected two innocent women because he was in denial about having AIDS. Evil thing to do to those women 😡

[@chicagoeconomist1643]

He gave nearly 100 girls aids on purpose fuggetaboutit

[@morganhealey3449]

Fuggetaboutit

[@shecontrolsme666]

He’s a murderer

[@milesgeary6358]

No. He allegedly had sex with close to 100 women, potentially exposing them to HIV. Only a few are thought to have actually contracted the HIV virus after sleeping with Sharkey. Last I heard, his most prominent accuser is still living with HIV but hasn't developed AIDS.

[@philippeh3904]

This definitely was the worst time at SNL, and I love Ray Sharkey, but he just isn’t really good at this

[@Joeybago12]

Why do you love him

[@NateTheGnat]

Drug's a hell of a cocaine...

[@russellj.s.257]

Ironic watching this,he would star in the movie Wired based on the book by Bob Woodward about John Belushi.

[@UMAMIMAMU]

And BOY was it a _terrible_ movie.

[@russellj.s.257]

@@UMAMIMAMU depends on how you look at it,if you leave out the side where John Belushi wakes up out of the body bag in the morgue and is being picked up by some angel of death in a cab , keep the flashbacks and make it more about Bob Woodward traveling around interviewing friends and family,then it could've been a descent bio pic. Instead they have us what looks like a modern day tragic comedy.

[@Aurora_Tom_Renton]

From Redhook brooklyn, great character actor, died from aids

[@stephanieconsi4825]

If anyone wants a lesson in acting and to see a great movie.. watch Ray in The Idolmaker. Brilliant. It’s a shame what drugs did to him.

[@theweirdturnprofessional9321]

Great comment. He was amazing. He had his demons and he knew about them and was candid in his interviews. We lost so many greats due to drugs🥲. RIP

[@cardboardempire]

Pretty sure some white powder was running this monolog

[@gennerobootz6490]

Why don’t actors look that that anymore

[@TOM15555555]

I never knew who this actor or Star was but he was only 40 years age Ray Sharkey he was so hyped and crazy 😜 through 81 wow 😯

[@dfangirl72]

rude much

[@cathyskywalker77]

Back in 1981 he was only 29.

[@7beers]

Cringe.

[@bluestate69]

Fugg-etta bout it.

[@7beers]

@@bluestate69 Actually, re-watching it, it's not quite as bad as my earlier "review". The guy has a lot of heart. The monolog actually could have been pretty good with a bit of tweaking.

[@bluestate69]

@@7beers ha. maybe more tweaking of the monologue, and less "tweaking" on his part!

[@Ohitsuji12]

@7beers Nah. There probably should have been a bit less tweaking, if you catch my drift.

[@Ohitsuji12]

@bluestate69 You beat me to the joke. 😂
