SCTV Bobby Bittman

[@jrabele]

I haven't seen SCTV for 20 years and, if anything, it's funnier now than it was then. They were really talented group of actors who played off each other very well.

[@catherinesokol4455]

Eugene Levy is the most underrated comic ever, the whole bunch of them, classic, makes me glad to be Canadian!

[@TheRealZenman]

His characters are so widely varied and brilliant. Bobby Bittman is a very accurate and nasty portrait of every bad performer and comedian ever. I hate him and love the performance. And so well supported by the rest of the cast. Nothing as good on tv does not exist, except perhaps Schitt's Creek.

[@skronked]

Eugene Levy? Okay, but what about Joe Flaherty? That guy is still underrated!!

[@The_whimsickal_artist]

Levy isn't underrated...wtf.. people with a real sense of humour know who he is.

[@fjccommish]

He was a comic, but he was also a "serious actor".

[@dangeroreilly2028]

@@skronked Ah-OOOOOOO! Count Floyd

[@hotwired100]

I laugh as hard at SCTV now as I did when I was twelve years old!

[@paulnadratowski3942]

Levy as Bittman nails it. He does a perfect hack comedian

[@fatima1009]

Yes, lounge lizard extraordinaire!

[@afterthefox]

that laugh....

[@dingecibbs]

"I'll keep crashing it until I get it right Sammy"...that actually was funny.

[@johnlewis6418]

Every time I say that one of the members of the SCTV cast is "my favorite," I find myself saying, "No, it was that one," then I say, "No, it was her," then "No, it was him." Andrea Martin, Eugene Levy, John Candy (gosh, I miss him), Dave Thomas, Joe Flaherty, Rick Moranis, Catherine O'Hara - they were the core players, and each one was "my favorite." Brilliant, brilliant sketch comedians - and I loved them all. It was incisive, intelligent, pure comedy, with no overt or even underlying social or political messages. Thank goodness we have these clips, so that we can escape the tripe that masquerades as comedy today.

[@JohnDoe-wo1jd]

i love this 60's early 70's vegas , hollywood b rate "hip cats" stuff . reminds me of my uncle and his friends talking and clothing back in those days . love bittman's macho suit look

[@Raptor3400]

Catherine O'Hara was incredible. The expression on her face was so funny.

[@paulnadratowski3942]

Best show ever. SCTV never missed a trick. Great

[@PositiveLastAction]

SCTV: Best comedy series in history . Candy, Flaherty, Levy = comedic genius!!

[@ranchump]

That “hey how are ya” is really just too good. These guys totally troll the classic Hollywood tv culture. Jesus. You can’t watch another insipid, self congratulatory self absorbed bunch of actor dopes on an interview show the same way ever again.

[@Lovethemusic385]

It's true. These guys kind of ruined the rat pack for me. And I've never regretted it.

[@KenPotter]

How awesome would it be to have all of these on remastered DVDs?

[@robertcombs55]

Better than ANYTHING on network TV today....

[@Neville60001]

It's a great show, but it is _not_ automatically better than any show on today.

[@bufnyfan1]

Only SCTV could show someone get electrocuted (2:50) and make it hilarious--Bittman's only concern was whether they could finish the sketch!!! LOL

[@tedcantu1]

"Where'd you study acting...? POLAND !!?? " LOL !!!!!

[@brianmouland209]

Compared to the slugs who occupy late night TV in 2018,Bittman looks like an icon

[@colderbeer]

The whole William B. William thing always cracked me up.....

[@bufnyfan1]

I would like to see the specials (0:54) that Bobby Bittman is always taping when he crashes Sammy's show--

[@djrychlak4443]

Bobby Bittman never takes a puff off of his smoke. Edit: Bobby Bittman is the single greatest comedic talent in the history of show business.

[@fjccommish]

He's got enough talent to be 1-10 greatest.

[@rklewis2]

YEEEESSSS!!!

[@todd4317]

HOW ARE YA???????

[@johnjarou2357]

who would have known that bobby bittman would show up out of the blue?

[@anonfrank546]

My uncle lived in Reno and Las Vegas Nevada . He said back in the 60's to 80's they had regular talks shows that were unwittingly ridiculous as these parodies by sctv on the tv every night .

[@edmonddantes3640]

I remember there was a scene in CASINO where DeNiro was hosting such a show and l immediately thought of Sammy Maudlin and SNL

[@jond1965]

I used to yell How are yah huhuhahahah all the time as a kid to my family...love it!!!

[@mikebarbacovi9851]

We now join the Sammy Maudlin Show already in progress ...

[@rklewis2]

And everything that WAS on was total crap, lol!

[@blueabattoir]

The entire cast is absolutely brilliant.

[@tavaramirez668]

These damn things are brilliant. I could watch them for hours.

[@jimmarcinko3323]

As a comic, in all seriousness, I have to concede that this a chuckler.

[@bishlap]

"Funny man" Bobby Bittman is one of the funniest characters and skits ever on television... when BOBBY testified before Congress -CLASSIC!!!

[@maynardsmoreland]

How perfect were the Sammy Maudlin sketches?

[@felicity4711]

2:17 In a much later season Bobby Bittman appears on “Maudlin” and sings a song to support the striking Polish workers, and then gets into a screaming argument with his brother Skip because he hates being called “Herschel Slansky.” I wonder if he really thought of Poland off the top of his head or if this is part of his complex about assimilating!

[@metalred74]

SCTV never gets old! Talk about comedy LEGENDS... Sammy Maudlin...Bobby Bittman...William B. Williams! Sammy’s sporting a DY-NO-MITE ‘fro,too!

[@RPhsheyNYC10009]

omg the best any chance you can upload the whole show taking a chance taaaaaakin a big fat chance on love!!!!!

[@milascave2]

After the comercial, Johny La Rue, who is mad that Sammy is takin up all his time, says "You know, some people, not me, say that you have a habit of crashing other people's appearances on shows."

[@chrisozzy56]

Bobby Bitman is another Wayne Newton , even better .

[@3bhui]

The girl who got shocked was apparently a take-off on Charo who was popular in that era. The players of SCTV were working on such a low budget yet made up for it with their personalities and rapport.

[@johnny718bravo]

I love SCTV

[@KKAkuoku]

Nails the icky fake sincerity of celebrity talk shows well...even when the set looks like it done on public access.

[@dragonhighlorde]

If I could find a wig, I would be Bobby Bittman for Halloween.

[@aai3661]

I will never forget the night that Bobby Bittman walked onto Sammy Maudlin's stage and broke the news that war had just broken out...in the Fack-land Islands. It was a "where were you when it happened" moment for the ages.

[@kevinhoffmanwi]

His home away from home: club med

[@fjccommish]

That was a solemn moment...as a comedian, in all seriousness...

[@misternewoutlook5437]

Friday at 9pm ET? That's the worst time slot of the week! HaHa

[@frankcabanski9409]

How are ya!!!!!!!!

[@BonusEggs4Sale]

I love when SCTV skewered the totally unhip, old guard show business types. They perfectly captured what banal and dark people they were.

[@JohnDoe-wo1jd]

thats a generalization . they were not all banal and dark people in that social set .

[@anthonydworak8127]

There is clearly a lot of love for the “old guard” in these portrayals. That’s a big part of why they are so great.

[@jackmeyhoffer5107]

SCTV did a great job showing how vapid, narcissistic, phony, and nasty the people in show business can be.

[@bkatbamna]

People that are old enough remember Johnny Carson. Sometimes the top of the A list people(like Frank Sinatra, Bob Hope) would interrupt his show. Once Don Rickles was guest hosting and broke Johnny's pencil box or cigarette case. When Johnny came back the next week, he took the camera and invaded the studio where Rickles was taping his own show. That was a different time when humor was fun and not used to make political statements.

[@beyondthegong]

This entire thing is ad-libbed.. fucking HILARIOUS

[@the13corinne]

How Are Ya!!!!

[@billnolastname5078]

I was disappointed when she didn't get blowed up.

[@BonusEggs4Sale]

With hilarious results!

[@jmnny85]

SCTV Rules!!!

[@Canuckster1169]

Im just gonna say it, Krusty the Klown is based on bobby bittman,

[@Hellodarknessmyolefriend]

How are yah !!!!

[@DavidLeBlanc]

Just seeing those guys makes me laugh.

[@juantailor]

The Mocha Room in Anchorage Alaska, anyone been?

[@RjBenjamin353]

Sammy does a perfect Jimmy Fallon

[@phillipsarrazine9072]

Sammy was 1st. Jimmy does a good Sammy. 😄

[@djnumeric]

Legends.

[@djrychlak4443]

These guys were the kings of cool.

[@afterthefox]

always with the outtakes...lol...

[@jimirwin5623]

Eugene Levy as Bobby Bittman looks like Carbone from Goodfellas.

[@MrGooch2706]

LOL!

[@ModMokkaMatti]

What am I, a clown?

[@cbikle]

Sammy Maudlin was Jimmy Fallon before Jimmy Fallon was.

[@dangeroreilly2028]

Loved Lola Heatherton character

[@steveflor9942]

The Mocha Room in Anchorage Alaska.... funniest offhand remark.

[@bck49]

i actually was at that Mocha Room and Bobby happened to be playing that night. I busted a gut. Had to have surgery the next day at Achorage General to get the gut sewn back up.

[@monkeyb1820]

Sammy invented 'man spreading' here.

[@sralyn]

Ooh baby

Man's laughter...

Bittman is sammys only guest.

[@jefsiv]

[@NMeyer0]

HOW ARE YAAA!?

[@floxy20]

It must be difficult to write bad jokes.

[@johndef5075]

My Life With God😂

[@thedevildriver]

To think Eugene Levy doesn’t consider himself funny.

[@jillmitchell1500]

Silences Yourselves!

[@naturalobserver6130]

I don't think TV could put together a talented group of people like this today even if they tried.

[@Lovethemusic385]

That set is deliciously cheap.

[@stevepaul6955]

Sadly, You could not have a show like SCTV today without a bunch of crybabies yelling "THERE'S NO DIVERSITY".

[@marcelsmith5772]

Steve Paul shut the fuck up!

[@SuperWolsey]

Marcel Smith He right though. The Fluffy and Uranus* on bathsalts camp really would whine about the show if it were made today. Hee Haw too, come to mind

[@nervousgentleman9123]

Steve Paul: What a fucking pussy! Ha ha.

[@trentnunyabiz6204]

kory stephens everyone hated hee haw because it sucked. Nothing about PC or anything, the humor just lacked relevency.

[@ignorecorporatenews]

the kid from deliverance LOVED hee-haw

[@ImaMonaKnight]

🎁❤️🖖🤓😂💋

[@mrb4886]

Neither are underrated...........

[@christennant8690]

Anbody as obnoxious as Bobby Bettman?
