Weekend Update Rewind: Harry Caray - SNL

[@robsherfey4582]

The "Hey... what if... hey!" gets me every time.

[@7thMack]

I’ll never get tired of Will Ferrell doing Harry Caray. It’s just brilliant.

[@rjb1216]

The Colin Quinn one is a classic, this was the first episode after norm was fired calling out his name was undoubtedly unscripted and hilarious

[@h.borter5367]

I remember so clearly when Will Ferrell portayed Harry Carey. I forgot it was Will, it was amazing.

[@CuriousGoodsJessica]

"Hey Norm, did you gain weight?" I laughed just as hard now as I did when I saw that in 98

[@oranjmusemeyer968]

Same!😂😂😂

[@jataim4197]

OMG! Was it really 22 years ago???? OOF!!!

[@Ophelia_Pain]

Hey" did you see that!?!

[@Ophelia_Pain]

I'm gonna go hang out with these cheerleaders! We love and miss you! Oi chicago IL!

[@thompkins6796]

Will Ferrell got the inspiration for playing Harry Carrey when he was watching a Cubs game and Carrey yelled "if he's a pitcher, then I'm a Chinaman!"

[@TRJ2241987]

Haha, Chinaman is one of Norm MacDonald's favorite racial slurs.....literally "Man from China".....that's racist!

[@McCrapweasel]

"If you said no, I would've bitten your ear off". Words to live by.

[@TRJ2241987]

I met Jeff Goldblum a few years ago and when we were getting our picture taken in a Harry Caray voice I said, "Say cheese.....is not what the moon is made of!" and Jeff just looked down at me and said, "Ahh, that's right!"

[@rex-racer]

Harry leading _Take Me Out to the Ball Game_ during the 7th inning stretch at Wrigley... nice memories in a year likely w/o baseball. I think Harry got a kick out of Will’s spaced-out impression of him. Good job & RIP Harry.

[@dildonius]

Even if he would have found it offensive, he was likely way too spaced out in REAL life to care.

[@LastAvailableAlias]

I love the bobble head

[@AudioFileZ]

Not only does Will bring the familiar appearance of Harry to life, he has written some brilliant dialogue. With the killer delivery of Caray exaggerated to perfection, the diatribes are wickedly funny. One of comedy's all-time great impersonations.

[@Brad-f9v]

"Twenty hot dogs would equal roughly a nickel; Depending on the strength of the Yen...I'm not quite sure."

[@chriss5010]

"Hey Norm,if you were a hot dog would you eat yourself ?". "I'd cover myself in brown mustard,I'd be soo delicious"

[@lindamon5101]

I just noticed Norms dimples! So handsome!!!

[@greenbasterd9425]

Little known fact: Harry Caray inspired the bobblehead.

[@derekli5377]

UNDERRATED

[@wrinkleneckbass]

It's too bad he didn't make it a permanent inside joke and just kept calling every host Norm.

[@kristincox0212]

I thought the same thing.

[@christhornton9762]

@callmecatalyst I think it may have been more of an insult to Colin, it was Colin who helped get Norm booted from SNL.

[@Jzigg3765]

​@@christhornton9762 how did Colin help get norm booted? I always thought Norm was fired for making jokes NBC executives didn't approve of, in particular OJ Simpson related ones.

[@TristanAxson]

Facts!!!😂

[@ScoobyLoochie-Doo]

😆 It still amazes me how he's holding his face lke that making all those "neck-rolls". 🤣

[@gabbydarling547]

This is what makes me happy, Good comedy 😂

[@AsktheSpirits]

Emily Rose this is true!

[@joeymorvant161]

Indeed!

[@pruszkowvice]

Ay, where's the one with Jeff Goldblum, when Will asks and if he'd eat the moon if it was made of BBQ spare ribs xD

[@leod9463]

It was not in Weekend Update

[@adamcoe]

the one with Myers was a little weak in spots but it was absolutely rescued by "i'm gonna go waterboard Asian Pete Rose in heaven"

[@julietvelarde3816]

And. he calls him Norm. RIP, Mr. MCDONALD.

[@TheJRo]

“I would’ve come at you like a tornado made of arms and teeth...and fingernails.” 😂

[@RapidScience]

Just what I needed right now!! XD😂

[@presto709]

It's amazing he can keep his face contorted like that for so long.

[@kalebpost20]

Will and Norm on the same screen makes my heart flutter

[@AllanOstermann]

Not that anyone cares, but when I was 12, I met Harry at a restaurant in Sarasota, FL. He was really great, extremely friendly. Of course (it almost goes without saying), he was seated at the bar 😊 Go Cubs, and Old Style beer! "A one, two, three..Take me out to the ball game..." We Chicagoans miss you. Oh, and great job, Will!

[@TheFranpire]

This just cracks me up! Harry ftw, Ferrel is a comic genius!🙌

[@fluff1353]

I remember listening to Gary Burbank out of Cincy on WLW radio thirty years ago during my work travels. He used to do a great Harry Caray that went right along these same lines.

[@carlos-ricardochambers8486]

One of Will Ferrell's funniest yet underrated characters. Just looking at him makes me laugh.

[@trevordemont2327]

8 pound 3 ounce ? Will Ferrell referenced this line in talledega nights . Dope

[@leonwaltemate6152]

He mentioned Waukegan, Illinois. I was once involved in a minor car accident in Waukegan with a lady who was a waitress at Harry Carey's restaurant in Chicago.

[@willtheangrydudeist9120]

This makes me laugh and be sad cause we all miss Harry so much ❤❤❤❤😢😢😢😢

[@TV-Tony]

Good call, he was right. Yankees DID win the 1996 World Series in 6.

[@kanashiiryuu]

I came looking for this comment. Well done.

[@srbrant5391]

Imagine dying, going to heaven, and having your entire life reviewed and narrated by Harry Caray.

[@SistaChairman]

We need a "Every Harry Caray Ever" to include the non-WU appearances - Jeff Goldblum, Joan Allen ("...didn't you die?"), etc.

[@paulabrown6840]

His portrayal could be Steve Mnuchin.

[@harminsambajon4556]

En pointe!

[@videomusicalirussicontradu9930]

A great sports commentator 😁 it's a pity that he is not the President of Russia 😢😊 the most famous Russian sports commentator Viktor Gusev ✌

[@vikki4real]

Great comedy. Loved this period in SNL history 😂😂

[@johnbertrand7185]

Funny in that first clip, he was right! The Yankees won the 1996 World Series in 6 games!

[@catalinacurio]

Thank heavens, I need this! 💖💖💖

[@alihamdan114]

It's funny bc between the first two and the last one he had a LOT more practice doing GWB, and you can see that sneaking into his impression while he's talking with Seth

[@unrulysimian3897]

The Yanks won in 6.

[@emprrah]

Awesome history

[@kristiandelcantero]

Dear SNL, please make a weekend update rewind of the forgotten legend Norm Macdonald

[@c.s.7266]

Classic! 🤣🤣👏

[@RobotJeeg]

I'm surprised he didn't call Seth as Norm!

[@ryanspengler4877]

Only thing better than Harry Carey is a tall, cool Budweiser. Budweiser, the KING of beers!

[@Jzigg3765]

I'd take Bob Uecker and a Miller High Life any day over a Bud but I'm biased.

[@larryalden79]

I remember catching these episodes in high school. Shit is like a time machine, it takes you back

[@jacoballen4189]

Lol when he looked over at Seth and randomly screams HEYYYYYY I shit my pants

[@ASMRHatov]

F in the chat if you're ready for Harry Caray to narrate the KZbin rewind 2020

[@julietvelarde3816]

HEY!!! LOL

[@foldingchairgaming]

Why does he make me laugh so hard 😂

[@alison4316]

Will Ferrell as Harry Caray is my absolute *_favorite_*

[@alvarhanso6310]

The 2009 clip, you can tell he was doing You're Welcome America his George W. Bush one man show, it's a like a mix of Harry and W and Ricky Bobby.

[@liamdude5722]

Now Pete Rose and Harry Caray are roommates in Heaven for real

[@miacrawford4662]

This character just gets funnier and funnier! I'd love to see him do it again

[@cynthiacopland8634]

Dear Lord, Will is spot on with his impression of legend Harry Caray ⚾️

[@bleedygalore12]

I loved it when my boy, Mark "Mudcat" Grant, longtime color commentator for my Pads, and Joliet Illinois native, sang Take Me Out To The Ballgame as Harry Caray when the Padres were playing the Cubs. It was awesome...love that guy!

[@julietvelarde3816]

Lol!

[@julietvelarde3816]

Oh, my goodness!!

[@FileRummager]

I’ve been waiting for this!

[@m3talentagency680]

Why do I feel as though I'll be going straight to hell for loving and laughing at Will Ferrell's Harry Caray's impression?

[@kimberlyolson6779]

They ought to make a movie staring Harry Carry!!

[@brucelawson642]

HEY !!😅

[@rjmccord91]

R.I.P., Harry!

[@babetravelling]

He kept that face on for awhile. Method acting at its finest

[@sawyerwuerth7728]

Will Farrell is so funny hahahahaha 😂🤣

[@markmh835]

Seth Meyers: looks like a teenager, sounds the same. 👍

[@aanddone4747]

Love those ties in the first Update in '96

[@outstandingswitchboardserv409]

Yes! One of the classics. Keep that weak quarantine comedy isolated at the snl we bsite

Ease up bud. Putting together good comedy in these conditions ain't a walk in the park

[@outstandingswitchboardserv409]

@@hellhound9347 Come on. You have your comedy gimmick, some sort of conflict to push things through, and you're home free. Nothing in that equation says the characters all have to be gaggled together on the same stage with a keyed up audience in front of them.

Dang, so Will called it. 1996, Yankees won it in 6 games!

It would have been great if he would have addressed Seth as "Norm"! 😂

[@heyheytaytay]

If the moon were made out of cheese would you eat it?? Me: YES.

[@Jzigg3765]

Heck I'd go back for seconds and polish it off with tall cool Budweiser (or any other beer cuz bud sucks)

HEY, “ just say yes and we’ll move on.” Great comedy.....

[@1207Benny]

Who else , after watching this goes back to SNL’s app and looks for Will’s skits just to keep laughing?

[@Afrattino]

Will Ferrell’s Harry Caray should have been the moderator for the Trump/Biden debates with Baldwin and Carey. That would have been hysterical!
