Watching Drew trying not to break character is hilarious 😂

[@robertthomas5736]

An Early appearance, By The Lovely and Talented, Drew Barrymore, When She was in The Steven Spielberg Classic Film, E.T. The Extra Terrestrial!

[@irenemarlor4583]

Drew was cute & the pigtails. Sad her childhood was abit rocky through addictions. Glad she made a recovery & continue with acting til the babies came along. Great actress. All the best from South Australia.

[@Psychol-Snooper]

It probably started on SNL. Even in the off season tours studio 8H will still get you high from the fumes left over from the 70s cast.

[@AnnieBornAgain]

Bless how precious did she look :)

[@fododude]

Mary Gross gets the line wrong: "Straighten up and fly straight." Drew Barrymore gets it right: "Straighten up and fly right." :)

[@CigarDoug]

That's why the nuns didn't like Wendy, she was always correcting them. That generation's Hermione.

[@aiberlane3390]

Drew was adorable!

[@actuary1233]

Anybody who thumbs down this is retarded

[@braydengrantham4074]

Aiber Lane now she’s hot

Mary Gross getting her Habit caught lol

[@stillaboveground2470]

I think the Whiners and Debbie Downer should get their own sitcom together.

[@danielm3192]

OMG! Robin Duke on Schitt’s Creek, and her character’s name is Wendy! Perfect! I loved Doug and Wendy Whiiiiiiiineeerrrrrrrr 😂😂

[@yaelfeder9042]

Wish there was a follow-up. It’d go like this Doug: Hey Waaaaanda, how was schoooooool? Wanda: I HATE school! Wendy: Awwwwww Doug: Awwwwww

[@bearnurse1]

Wendy Whiner saying six months is just hysterically funny

[@aarondigby5054]

The 2nd wave of Not Ready for Prime Time Players were underrated, Mary Gross is a charm, a great team player, I've always enjoyed, this crop had some funny sketches

[@Lee.Higginbotham]

I'm gonna be a Whiner!! 😂😂😂

[@BennyM_]

Wendy Whiner sounds like she's related to Pat.

[@Danimal77]

WOW, so this is where Julia Sweeney got her voice and mannerisms for "Pat" character in "It's Pat". She sounds EXACTLY like Mrs. Whiner.

[@tuttt99]

One of my favorite SNL skits

[@bradleylaford1526]

Drew Barrymore is Awesome! A credit to her Ancestors!

[@carolferguson]

Amen! Good one

[@h3lm1H]

She is very cute

[@charlesconner]

this was the episode with a call-in to see if Andy Kaufman would be banned from the show

[@michaelgraf735]

Why is SNL blocking all their KZbin videos. How can SNL be so petty?

[@DaveDaShrubber]

When Wanda Whiner grew up, she married a man named Homer Groaner.

[@stev6963]

I wasn’t really paying attention at first when this video started playing, I was just listening and was so shocked when I heard the nun’s voice. I immediately recognized her voice as the actress from one of my favorite episodes of That’s So Raven, “Cake Fear.” She played the babysitter, Pushover Patty!! I can’t believe I was able to identify her from her voice alone, and from such an obscure role lol. I had no idea she was ever an SNL cast member!

[@baronfyrewhine]

I think it's sad that you have "favorite episodes of That's So Raven".

[@charliest.kardasism9134]

@@baronfyrewhine I think it's sad that you think it's sad , that people have favorite esp of thats so raven . Get that giant stick, out of you're ass. Dumbass

I didn't either ! I was wondering , why her voice sounded familiar 🤔

[@srteal9632]

I'm two years late, but I did the same thing! That's my favorite episode too 🤣🤣🤣

[@ds99]

Robin Duke is so funny.

[@zyante1]

I’ve never seen the episode with her on it. Glad there are parts online.

[@bearnurse1]

Saints be praised!!

[@tomflorio3639]

This Whiners skit was going fine, until The Whiners entered.

[@joshuaallen4641]

we love you Drew

[@malleryalacarte]

I think we found the inspiration of Pat! 😂

[@stevenmandl4920]

this is another religious sketch mary gross played in.also too, she is the sister of actor Michael gross.yes that Michael gross from family ties.

[@bigguy130]

Too bad Dana Carvey's Church Lady could not have been included in here, as the character had not been invented yet.

[@jamesmcclelland1414]

From the November 20, 1982, episode of SATURDAY NIGHT 😴 LIVE.

[@SGASPORTSTALK]

The young drew Barrymore reminds of ET an extra terrestrial

[@susanphillips7273]

She starred in the movie.

[@WytZox1]

* Whiners way funnier than Debbie Downer! ☺

[@methatguy]

Annnnnnd a year later Drew discovered the Credit Cards were in her name. Oh boy.......what a party animal she was 😋.

[@maskedmarvyl4774]

I can't believe that's Drew Barrymore. That makes me feel so old. When Drew starts getting wrinkles and gray hair, I'm going to feel Very old.....

[@jeromejohnson8671]

That nun is great

[@angeliqueriou4067]

Right? Her improv when her habit got stuck in the door was very amusing

Yep. Youngest host in the show's history.

Whats the name of actor that does Trevor?

[@jockejocke1]

Oddly enough that kid is not in the credits on this episode's info page at IMDb. Never seen that before.

[@only257]

Hiliarous😋

[@brenzlee2946]

Drew is very talented. .pretty hard to make it as child actor and sex symbol later..no? Kudos.

[@210SAi]

Jennifer Love Hewitt

[@mkadoza]

I find that many child actors become sex symbols....

[@carolferguson]

Who’s the boy? I know that I know him.

[@AndrewDrazdikJr]

Foreign adoption requires documents such as birth certificate. When the person asking to make the adoption involves their tax record a parody of this skit involved with Bob Saget as persons who look alike him with various causes to re tell the story of beneficiary rights with the adoptee(s). Which the adoptee children are more interested in the money than if the real Bob Saget is dead or alive. Some of the look alike for example are plastic surgery recipients from Mexico, genetic gametic look alike from common ethnic gene pool, and possible any other person who generally looks like them. A satire of the skit would be a tax advocate or accountant following the look alikes as they attest to the common wealth management by cause with the adoptee children asking for proper documentation and tax verification. Would this be funny?

Gee, this was back when SNL was actually funny.

[@wadsy72701]

Isn't this considered the worst era of SNL?

[@pronkb000]

@@wadsy72701 Season 6 (replacing the original cast, with everybody except Piscopo and Murphy gone after a year), Season 11 (Lorne's return, another cast changeover, another year with mostly one-season wonders), and Season 20 (Sandler, Spade, & Farley running the show but all past their sell-by date) are the 3 worst seasons. The Ebersol years aren't as fondly remembered as the best Lorne years and the show was basically carried by Murphy and Piscopo, but there was good stuff and talented performers to be found.

[@alext4828]

this wasn't funny at all tho
