Wow, that's him alright. David wrote for SNL in 1984-85 a couple of years after "Fridays" was cancelled. SNL writers frequently appear as background characters, but I am a bit surprised to see David here because he had been a cast member on the rival show.

@@itiswhatitaintanditaintwha1427 Dick Ebersol left on a high note. He probably felt a sense of vengeance a year later upon the return of Lorne Michaels, whose first year back led to cancellation, before Lorne convinced NBC head honcho Brandon Tartikoff to give him one more year. Michaels had been very critical about the Ebersol years, yet 85-86 (his first year back) was one of the worst seasons ever, with the exception of the Jean Doumanian season (80-81).
Now maybe they'll upload Gumby's Christmas special, too-"Have a Merry Christmas, Dammit!" Featuring Frank Sinatra, Donny & Marie, and the Don King Family Singers.
I BET nobody knows that Martin Short, with his cigar and "bouncy C," is doing old IRVING CAESAR to a "T"! I used to see Irving at Musso & Frank's in Hollywood, in the '90s. He was one hundred years old, and he behaved EXACTLY like that, waving his cigar, saying, "I wrote "Tea For Two"! I wrote 'Swanee'! Ya wanna hear it? -- SWAAAANNEE! Howiloveya, Howiloveya, MYYYY dear old Swaneee.....!" He didn't need a bouncy C! He'd just up and sing it. Yes, he really DID write "Swanee" with Gershwin in 1920 and "Tea For Two" with Vincent Youmans in 1924. Helluva guy.
I never knew this was supposed to be a parody of "Broadway Danny Rose". I just loved everyone's Yiddish vaudeville characters. Irving Cohen was one of the best characters Martin Short ever did on "SCTV". "Give me a 'C', a bouncy 'C'-Oh, William B, oh William B, da fella, sittin' right here, next ta me..." And I always loved Murphy's Gumby, as the old Yiddish comedian. Oy! Billy Crystal used his character several years before, on "SOAP!" Billy, as Jody Dallas, had a psychiatric episode in which he thought he was a little old Yiddish man from Poland, named Julius Kassendorf. And Christopher Guest shows the range that he has, from a mild-mannered man from North Carolina who raises bloodhounds, to an effeminate choreographer or director, to a British metal guitarist, to an old Yiddish actor who appeared in "Pickles on Parade".
I didn't say Christopher Guest was from NC,@@deecook8393. He played a mild-mannered man from NC in "Best in Show." Read my comment again, more slowly this time.
Larry David in the background is circling the help wanted ads because he wanted to quit Dick's shit show. That was his opinion, not mine. He felt he wasn't treated right and I agree from what I've read. Dick didn't have a sense of humor about Larry's stuff. The writers loved his stuff.
Loved Ed Grimley, I must say. --But, the BEST Martin Short/SCTV skit (in my opinion) was the one where he played Jerry Lewis acting in an Ingmar Bergman film, "Scenes from an Idiot's Marriage."
What a classic sketch, love it! Christopher Guest is especially wonderful. Fun fact - this sketch aired on December 15th, 1984 and Chris married Jamie Lee Curtis just three days later.
My favorite thing about this is that a minute or so goes by at the beginning where Martin Short and Billy Crystal are doing their schtick and the audience totally doesn't care. Then Gumby walks in, and everybody is laughing. Wouldn't happen today, when we're expected to worship everything Short and Crystal do like it's gold. 😆

Harry Shearer was a child player on "Your Show of Shows" when he was 10 years old so he was used to working in sketch comedy with a lot of pressure. Back then, Dick Ebersol liked to keep everyone on edge and had all the comics competing with each other for his okay for what would get on the air, so some players were sure to feel bad week after week. Max Liebman who produced and directed "Your Show of Shows" never did stuff like that. Harry wasn't okay with being treated like shit in his 40's after being treated like gold when he was 10. (corrected, see below)

I remember when I first saw this. Didn't realize that most of the audience had NO idea what this sketch was about.

made it better because there were fewer pauses for audience laughs and more time for bits.
Martin Short's "Irving" is likely based on Golden Age lyricist Irving Caesar, who appeared often on talk shows in the 60s/70s.
Remember that character from SCTV? He was a guest on William B. William's failed talk show.
