Father Guido Sarducci was Such an Unsung Hero. One of THE BEST SNL Characters, Ever!!

[@boblozaintherealworld3577]

Years ago I went to Hollywood club to see a jazz musician, and Father Guido opened the show! Huh-larious.

I don’t know if you ever saw the book the Lazlo Letters, but that’s one of the most hilarious things I’ve ever read. I also met him at the Roman forum, dressed up the day before he got arrested by the Vatican. A lovely chap.

There have been many great character4s on SNL over the years, But I think That Father Guido Sarducci has got to be the best!

Funny he used the Godfather reference. Don Novello had a small part in Godfather III, and when they went to the Vatican to shoot, he was not allowed in as he was on the list from an unauthorized SNL sketch they had shot or at least tried to shoot from several years before that. He was just brilliant as this character.

[@ts-eu6mp]

[@boblozaintherealworld3577]

I went to Catholic schools for 12 years and Guido was right. 'Monsignor' is a big deal. Better than a priest, but not the responsibility of a Bishop. And he never got the promotion. (this was a genius bit)

Monsignor...= The Middle Man....waiting to become Bishop. Elevated but not enough to make trouble.

Donald Andrew Novello is an American actor, comedian, singer, writer, film director and producer. He is best known for his work on NBC's Saturday Night Live from 1978 to 1980, and again from 1985 to 1986, often as the character Father Guido Sarducci.

I don't understand why they don't show back in the beginning of SNL. Those were great ones with real talent. I haven't watched SNL since the early 80s.

[@aquamarine99911]

Then you missed the best period - the late 80s early 90s - Phil Hartman, Mike Myers, Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Dana Carvey ... I could go on. Legendary cast. I watched SNL in the beginning - even remember the Muppets - but it was never as good as it was the late 80s. SNL goes in and out style, and then a new generation takes over. We're in between right now, like around the Charles Rocket era.

[@jimwelsh997]

@@aquamarine99911 I didn't say anything about not showing them. They just don't show the ones from the beginning of SNL. They were the best. If they weren't as good as they were there wouldn't have been any of those others.
