Except for by his fellow comedians, the man's talent is truly under-appreciated. Had his looks been better, he'd be more famous, too. Speaking of which: Given that, is it any surprise he was 1st-choice to voice Jay Sherman in "The Critic"?
Jimmy Fallon seems like a nice guy. It sucks that he hams it up so much for this late night show. The fact the show continues on proves he doesn't have to, it'll do just fine either way.
Ya if GEM is an acronym for gay elderly man who was never funny and it’s proof god doesn’t exist that he’s alive and Phil Hartman and norm Macdonald are dead
Yeah, Jimmy's got a good social media team. People have been joking that someone should get Jon Lovitz to do his "Liar" character against this Santos thing for a while. Damned if Jimmy didn't do it first! Love Jon's characters!
All of the Santos impersonations I've seen on late night TV this week has been great. Not sure who the comedian was on Kimmel, but Harvey Guillen was on Colbert, & they were both spectacular.
This was perfect bc I remember Lovitz back in the day doing his "Liar" character on SNL I was just talking about his SNL character to some people too young to have seen it--how Santos immediately reminded me of that! So glad to see some people making comments about Lovitz on SNL! This is how long ago it was--Lovitz would say he was married to Morgan Fairchild! Not too many people are.old enough to know who she was! Really enjoyed this! Kudos to Jimmy Fallon!
I'm assuming that SNL owns trhe rights to Lovitz's Liar character.. because it would have been even more hilarious! I hope they have him back on SNL for a guest appearance.. it was great seeing him again. Lorne, I just HAVE to see Jon do Santos on SNL! Pleeeeeeeaaasse??
@@watong9232 Except the Tonight Show is produced by Lorne Michaels, so they should have had the rights to that character. I think it was a missed opportunity.
They already have a Santos, and it was a big hit. But what I really want to see (a suggestion from one of my coworkers) is a Lovitz cameo on SNL where he reprises his old "Pathological Liar Tommy Flanagan" character. Yeah, that's the ticket... Seeing him and George Santos one-upping each other would be even better than seeing Lovitz as Santos.
It's basically a continuation of the recurring character he DID play back when he was on SNL. The character was called Tommy Flanagan, the pathological liar. He is so good at playing Santos because this bit is in that same wheelhouse with some minor tweaks. He's absolutely perfect for it and nailed it.
To see Lovitz at a real serious role and admire his true talent at acting watch the first 20 or so minutes of the movie "Happiness". He actually is a great actor too!!! I love Jon in all that he does. Truly an underrated but very funny, talented man!!!
Stop with the lame "underrated" ridiculous and overused comment. Heres how it works.,...people like some things and they don't like somethings. Just because you like it doesnt mean everyone else is wrong and therefore its "underrated". And the same with "overrated". I know youre probably a hack commenter who just copies popular trendy comments and repeats them hoping for likes to validate your life, but understand about "underrated/overrated" and what those really mean. Your own opinion doesnt make something more or less valid or "rated" at all. There is no "rating" ... just what people like and dont like. Its just a dumb concept and even dumber comment. Youre welcome
@@rileyking5924 it truly was brilliance on his part as an actor. From confusion, rejection, heartbroken on the verge of tears, to regaining composure, gaining confidence, putting the adversary in their proper place and willing to walk away with integrity intact. All in about 3-4 minutes.
I loved when he was on Friends as a food critic and Monica was making dinner for him. He came over totally high, dinner wasn’t ready, so he tried to eat taco shells. 😆 Tartlet? Tartlet? Tartlet?
The strange thing is, I've met people who are that warped. My mother embellished and lied her way through life. She was just so mental with it all and very manipulative.
What in the hell? These kids are asking random people on TH-cam and they’re just going to believe the answer? I’m no spring chicken, but how is it that I’m this old and able to use google better than they can? Also, if they’re taking random people at their word then they’re they are easily fooled on Election Day. “I do my research!” Yeah right. If they’re unable to figure out something so simple, can you imagine with the big important stuff?
"On my hot dog I put relish. I relish the embellish" OMG - I nearly shit my pants with how incredibly hilariously funny this was. I recently recovered from the hernia I got from laughing at Jimmy's Covid variant song (sung to the tune of Love Shack). I can't wait to see what other brilliant gems of comedy gold these fellas will dream up.
Just brilliant. The parody is more real, than the real person. I invented gravity, is the best line. I will find from now on, to get that in a conversation, just because.
Today George was charged by federal prosecutors in the Eastern District of New York. I'm guessing the charges might revolve around things that look like fraud. 😂
A few days ago I said that George Santos reminded me of Jon Lovitz's character, the that's the ticket guy. I posted a video and stated that on Facebook. Now here he is having taken on the full character, I love it.
Brilliant! I've been calling George Santos the second coming of Tommy Flanagan for weeks now! ("Ask my wife...uh...Morgan Fairchild...Yeah...that's the ticket...")
Every late night show has had a "George Santos" interview and they've all been hysterically funny. I have to say I was waiting for him to say, "yea, that's the ticket" but then we know Jon was the original pathological liar! 😂
![กี่หมื่นฟ้า | Your Sky Series EP.1 [2/4]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/qJbQs_nhjD4/mqdefault.jpg)
Hysterical. Lovitz nailed it. So funny!
Jon Lovitz needs do more of this. He is such great and funny actor
He's funny, but it's almost like it's not satire because that clown they put in congress would actually do all of this!
He used to do a compulsive liar on snl. You should look it up! 🤗
Except for by his fellow comedians, the man's talent is truly under-appreciated. Had his looks been better, he'd be more famous, too. Speaking of which: Given that, is it any surprise he was 1st-choice to voice Jay Sherman in "The Critic"?
He had to do something to get back on Hollywood's good side after getting semi black listed for talking smack about Obama
I always wondered what happened to him. Such a great talent, definitely one of the best on old SNL.
Oh, George Santos is definitely going to try and take credit for this brilliant skit.
how can he not, it's based on him
do we even know if he is a US citizen?
@@oldrrocr I don't think we know he is a US citizen. He should be made to prove it and if is not then he has to go.
He did write it.
Why wouldn't he? He wrote it, and also owns the building I heard.
This is the Jimmy Fallon I want to see more of. Not fake laughing at everything and being and just letting the comedy happen naturally
Jimmy Fallon seems like a nice guy. It sucks that he hams it up so much for this late night show. The fact the show continues on proves he doesn't have to, it'll do just fine either way.
No Santos....go away! Lol
yeah, good luck with that
Good to see Jon Lovitz doing well. He's an absolute gem.
Ya if GEM is an acronym for gay elderly man who was never funny and it’s proof god doesn’t exist that he’s alive and Phil Hartman and norm Macdonald are dead
Yeah...that's the ticket.
The best!
Jon Lovitz invented George Santos.
Thank you Jimmy and team for arranging this priceless performance.
LEGEND
I was wondering if I was the only one who remembered the pathological liar character from the 1980s.
Unfortunately. Jon Lovitz didnt really invent the character, there are just people like this.
@@Nebulaoblivion
He invented the "Character" 🤗
Just because people like that exist, doesn't mean he's not a Character. Just ask Homer Simpson 😂
@@oldauntzibby4395
Tommy Flanagan ☺️
... yeah, that's the Ticket
When Scamtos was a kid, his mother told him he could be anyone he wanted to be. Turns out, identity theft is a crime.
Was that before his mother died three times?
He's one of YOURS. Be proud. He was a RINO and le. fty at ❤️

Glad he gave us an "It Stinks!" Dude's a legend.
And no one in the audience seemed to get the reference! 🤦

ach ahem!!!!
Santos apparently wrote he hated this...Love it!!!
Who cares what Santos thinks. He deserves everything coming to him. The Republican party is a big joke anyway.
@@kimjeffries7165all these parties are a tragedy. There's no intelligence in either party
Lovitz is always pure gold. LOVE that man.
Yeah, Jimmy's got a good social media team. People have been joking that someone should get Jon Lovitz to do his "Liar" character against this Santos thing for a while.
Damned if Jimmy didn't do it first! Love Jon's characters!
He even threw in a Critic, "It Stinks!" I guess the audience is too young now
Don't be surprised if you him on SNL.
Too bad someone other than jimmy was host. Dude stinks!
I was hoping for a bit more of the actual Tommy Flannigan character - "yeah, that's the ticket!" - but I'll take this!
That's because he's half FISH.........delish..ish....😄
If George gets to impersonate everybody, everybody gets to impersonate George!
I, George Santos, came up with that idea.
@@JavierFernandez01 😂 😂 😂 I do believe he will say that if he sees it.
Santos impersonated a Repub. He's a Dem at ❤️

That would have been funny to deny being gay and being married to Morgan Fairchild. But, now I feel old.

@@ferallemur this needs to happen
@@ferallemur Yep, _that's_ the way to go. Flanagan and Santos in a lie-off. I think even Tommy would struggle against the Liemaster General.

He is so good at playing Santos because this bit is in that same wheelhouse with some minor tweaks. He's absolutely perfect for it and nailed it.
Half-expected to at one point hear him say "Yeah... that's the ticket!"😄
Wasted oportunity, then again, we all were expecting it.
Where has he been all these years?! I thought he was ðead!
best late night skit in ages - more of Mr. Lovitz please
The fact the audience didn’t laugh hysterically when he said “it stinks” tells me they’re way too young for this bit.
My thoughts exactly. Jay Sherman was a gem.
Agreed. I genuinely laughed out loud when he said that. I miss that show! 🤣🤣
Indeed, a lot of these things “tell me how old people are without telling me”!
Haha I just posted the same thing! A reference to The Critic was well placed
Not just age, though. The Critic had miserable ratings when it first aired
To see Lovitz at a real serious role and admire his true talent at acting watch the first 20 or so minutes of the movie "Happiness". He actually is a great actor too!!! I love Jon in all that he does. Truly an underrated but very funny, talented man!!!
I'm certain he's a great serious actor; I'm not sure I want to see him in a serious role. It might ruin his persona for me.

Brilliant every word of it! Only John could pull this off in such a believable way. One of my favorite character actors when it comes to comedy

I forget just how funny Lovitz really is. This was gold!
Jon Lovitz is a treasure, the greatest at satire and sarcasm
I like him
@@bixie7011Yes that was him
I can't believe he didn't do "Yeah, that's the ticket..."
Loved his show The Critic
I thought Jon Lovitz is a conservative.
This could've easily been on SNL LMAO
Ikr, when he grabbed the mic, I really thought he was gonna say : "LIVE !!! From New York . . . It's Saturday Night.". 🤪
Well he’s in town 30 hours prior… we’ll see
Edit: ew, they went with a shitty Yang impression
Yeah... _that's_ the ticket!
@@mckernan603 Ugh, enough with Yang. He’s overacts like mad!!
It Was On SNL,.. in the 80's 😂
... yeah, that's the Ticket
It's hard to parody George Santos because what he says is already crazier and more laughable than any skit.
Like, what are you gonna do LOL?
Truth is stranger than fiction.
You're right. You can't make this stuff up.
@@peryole just lie more😹
You're pretty much describing the whole Republican Party post-2000.
Good to see Jon Lovitz again. He is still as funny as ever!
New York, please come clean up your mess.
Jon was simply the best-ever PATHOLOGICAL LIAR! LOL! That was such a great character that he developed! Maybe Santos was inspired by him?
Santos Is Him 😂
... and you, and me, and ...
The Pathological Liars Club..
."in fact, I'm the PRESIDENT of that organization!" 🤣😂🤣😅
Fun fact: Lovitz debuted "The Liar" on this very program in 1985, months before he started on "Saturday Night."
Thank you this was wonderful! Great to see Lovitz doing this! Fabulous, love him!
We are so blessed to have santos sharing his time with us!
He invented time
I loved when he was on Friends as a food critic and Monica was making dinner for him. He came over totally high, dinner wasn’t ready, so he tried to eat taco shells. 😆
Tartlet? Tartlet? Tartlet?
I just learned I love Jon Lovitz’s singing voice.
I was waiting for Lovitz to give his famous line: “yeah, that’s the ticket”.
TRUMP/SANTOS 2024
Yea, that's the ticket!
Haha I get that
Oh my gosh the "it stinks" was absolutely a call back to The Critic and I'm dying.
Jon was a fantastic addition to SNL, I love his work.
2:10 the fact that that got some of the biggest laughs in a comedy sketch and that was something Santos actually said is pretty wild.
I've never laughed out so loud in my life!!!
This was hilarious!!!
Hello Juan
How are you doing today?
God I love Jon Lovitz!!! 🤣🤣🤣
I am so glad to see Jon Lovitz back on the screen❤️
Love how as a true character actor he hasn’t appeared to age a day since I was a kid. One of the greats! 👍👍
Confidence is playing an another adult man who is still practically half your age.
Brilliant!
From day one of the Santos saga, I was hearing Lovitz saying "that's the ticket!" in my head. Finally my dream becomes reality.
George Santos is comedic gold! I know late night is going nuts! And it’s not lies. It’s “alternative facts”. 😂
George Santos is indeed comedic gold. But so is every other super le. fty . If I had freedom to type I'd list out all kinds of comedy.

Lovitz is great. I had the privilege of seeing his show live in Honolulu.
The strange thing is, I've met people who are that warped. My mother embellished and lied her way through life. She was just so mental with it all and very manipulative.
Jon never disappoints.
no one got the "it stinks" joke because they're too young. Love The Critic though.
So, "no one..., "
you didn't either then.
That's how words work.

I had no idea George Santo sang so beautifully😢
Scantos has had 800 #1 hits since 1925!
Agreed he has a lovely voice😻
He actually invented singing.
He taught Pavarotti everything he knew. The beard was his idea, too.
I don't think I've ever seen Mr. Lovitz act outside of SNL - he was brilliant in this sketch.
He was in A League of Their Own and The Wedding Singer. Small roles but funny.
City Slickers 2 ^-^
The Critic
"League of Their Own". Film by Penny Marshall. JL has a wonderful role in that motion picture.
he does small bits and had a very successful animated series on Comedy Central for many years.... a very long time ago. Dude's brilliant
Hilarious! Best I’ve ever seen on Fallon, they should give lovitz a late night show.
Just brilliant. The parody is more real, than the real person. I invented gravity, is the best line. I will find from now on, to get that in a conversation, just because.
What a treat! Love him.
🤣👏 Priceless! I knew I wasn’t alone thinking that “Santos” reminded me of the SNL sketch with Jon Lovitz! 🤌
Hello Jane
How are you doing today?
Jon Lovitz is brilliant as always 😂😂😂😂
Today George was charged by federal prosecutors in the Eastern District of New York. I'm guessing the charges might revolve around things that look like fraud. 😂
Watch, he'll be the whole jury.
You know what would have been even funnier! If they announced another actor, and GEORGE SANTOS showed up! 😅
Nice to see Lovitz, hope he keeps this bit up, it's perfect for his comedy!!!

I haven't seen Lovitz in a while, man he's brilliant
"It stinks!" And the whole thing really Made me so happy
Nailed it
And THAT, is what a skit should always be.
P.s. thank you Lorne
This dude is still funny AH!!! I love his comedy from the 90s
Best skit with Fallon in a long time!!!!😂..
SO F _ _ _ ing funny!!! Should be the opening monologue at the Oscars
🤔 Imagine if Lovitz hosted
The Oscar’s...in character as George Santos!
I wish fallon knew how better the show and funny he still is when hes not forcefully laughing 😅❤️❤️❤️
Johnny Carson had that straight man bit down. Gold.
Lovitz is STILL gold!
👏 👏 👏 Standing Ovation for one of the greatest SNL Alumni! Love him! 😂😂😂
Ironically, “George Santos” is an impersonation of Jon as The Pathological Liar from 40 years ago.
Please come back and do the Santos bit one last time!!
Yeah I would have died laughing way too many times during this if I was there live. Great great stuff
Great skit, crazy funny along with the pillow guy, they should have them in together 😂
This is by far the best Santos ever, SNL at Jimmy Fallon Show 😅
Holy crap that was sooo good. Well done team.
I couldn’t love Jon Lovitz more. ❤️
Hartman and Lovitz. My favorite duo ever
Brilliant! I've been calling George Santos the second coming of Tommy Flanagan for weeks now! ("Ask my wife...uh...Morgan Fairchild...Yeah...that's the ticket...")
Brilliant;)
It was so great to see Jon again!!
Every late night show has had a "George Santos" interview and they've all been hysterically funny. I have to say I was waiting for him to say, "yea, that's the ticket" but then we know Jon was the original pathological liar! 😂
Yeah, I was expecting to learn that George Santos was married to Morgan Fairchild. 🙂
I see that you're Geek-ish.
Yes, I was waiting for a That's the Ticket! Love Lovitz ♥️
@[h3] Podcast Highlights Right? The guy invented the polio vaccine, we should treat him with more respect.
I was waiting for him to say... thats the ticket
Man, haven't seen Lovitz in so long. Seeing him again makes me want to go back and watch The Critic.
Bringing back an old SNL character in a new, modern, and topical way.
I know, SNL should've invited back for this
I called this weeks ago sayin Santos is just like snl Lovtiz doing 'yeah,thats the ticket.'🤣
I kept waiting for Lovitz to say, Yeah that’s the ticket 🤪
Love how Lovitz was able to put in the "It Stinks!" from the Critic.
His new brag is that he's been interviewed in all of the late night shows. 😅
The critic was so good. Oh, and high school high.
Enjoyed the critic. "It stinks!"
Lovitz is the bomb! I’d vote for him as Santos!
The fact that he didn’t say “Yeah that’s the ticket!” is a crime. At least he said “It stinks!”
Lovitz was really really hoping for a big reaction on 'it stinks'!! Well, I liked it Jon!
everybody's a Critic... but only Jon is THE Critic.
He threw in that reference to The Critic so Santos can go 'I got that! I didn't have to Google it!'
