This tape opens with some Wimbledon action, as Chris Evert loses at Wimbledon. But it’s actually a cold open from Saturday Night Live. There’s even an appearance from Jon Lovitz as The Queen.
Music from The Eurythmics.
I’ve cut this episode off just before the second music performance.
Next, an episode from Sky One. There’s a Halloween news group parody.
Which contains an appearance from the actual John McLaughlin. Who I only know from these parodies and (I think) an appearance in Cheers.
The show is hosted by Christian Slater.
There’s a culturally dubious baseball reference.
Music from Bonnie Raitt
I think I’m affecting people’s health now. A short time after watching Bonnie Raitt I see her tweet retweeted on my timeline.
The next episode is hosted by Woody Harrelson. And I’m sure I’ve seen this before, but I can’t find it in a search. This is really weird. Did I just miss out an entire episode in one of my blogs?
Ah – just found it by searching images. It was a partial episode. Still should have shown up in a search.
Music from Vanessa Williams. I can accept that sometimes the snow comes down in June, but she can’t convince me that sometimes the sun goes round the moon. She’s shown a total misunderstanding of celestial mechanics.
The next episode features Jeremy Irons as a guest host.
Fishbone are the musical guests.
I’m not familiar with their ouevre – they struck me as a bit too much like the Red Hot Chili Peppers – but I did have an interesting conversation with my wife about what type of saxophone he’s playing here. Probably a baritone, but could be a bass.
The next episode features guest host Kiefer Sutherland.
There’s a sketch about how unlikely it’s going to be that Bush will lose the 92 election. So this must have been very early in the race.
Musical guests Skid Row. Very hair.
All Things Scottish. “If it’s not Scottish, it’s CRAP!”
After this episode, the tape ends.
