Sally Field is such a good actress. I mean this was just some short SNL sketch but the emotion in her voice & on her face seems so real! It’s crazy how talented she is.
@@emillyyelen5169 wow don't be that angry ;) It is only a way to say that she should've deserved more recognition for her talent. It is well known that she (like many other great actors -l. di caprio f inst.) has been kinda ignored and relegated to tiny roles for years ....roles in which nonetheless I think she was stunning.
She deserved an Emmy for not reading cards on SNL like all SNL cast and hosts do. Also, she's an amazing actress, in general. I've been her fan since, "The Flying Nun. 🥰
This scene might be the best acting ever on SNL. How it's played straight for the first two minutes. How patient and loving and careful Jesus is. How earnest and desperate Tina is. And most of all, how Hartman says "I know."
It's good to pray over small things...because if you pray over smaller things it means you aren't waiting until bad things happen to pray..but...praying over rice...that's a stretch
@@williamgullett8071 Come on though.... praying to let the rice not get sticky.... people back in - say, 30 AD - had far more important "small things" to worry about on a day-to-day basis. I wish my life was so carefree and flawless that was the type of thing I prayed for. It's more of a mockery of "praying" than anything else, but of course someone will take the joke and actually defend it.

These are the things people pray for when they have no trust at all that their god will get anything right or show any kindness unless they pray for it.

One of Phil Hartman's best performances on SNL. Pretty spectacular how he perfectly translated the pure-benevolence tone of Jesus paintings into acting form. I've never seen another actor playing Jesus nail that so specifically. Uh... no pun intended.

This woman Sally field has had that abiity since the tv show Gidget when she was 18 years old, they seek her out for roles that have a lot of emotion and crying, she is one of the best to do this.
Agreed. The thing where she put her sweater over her face made her shame so palpable. And she nailed that pitiful-sobbing-morphs-into-angry-defensiveness thing.
Only Phil Hartman and Sally Field could have pulled this off! They poke fun at Christians while actually underscoring the sacredness of prayer. It's a masterclass in classiness.
This sketch was originally done in the dress rehearsal for the 1991 Christian Slater episode with Christian playing Jesus and Victoria Jackson playing the housewife. It was brought back two seasons later for this episode and made it to air.
That is totally my mom. Jesus help me when I show her this, and if she doesn’t find it funny. And have pity on my soul if she throws another Bible at me and makes me reread it once again. Amen 🙏

It's perfectly all right to pray for everything in your life. It's praying to attract attention to yourself, to be seen as pious by others, that is a sin.
I hear that. I am part of a catholic Irish family on dads side, was raised irreligious but we did celebrate catholic holidays and the influence was still there. I have seen this myself and told my sister about this sketch recently
Oh, yes indeed. I consider myself a devout Christian, and truly love Jesus, but I am bugged by people who have to reference Jesus in virtual every paragraph they speak, as if they need to reassure themselves or convince others of their faith. How about more gratitude and less beseeching over minutiae, to start with.
It always struck me as a bit irreverent to pray for unimportant things. If hyper-frequent prayer is important to you, most or all of that prayer should be in thanks, rather than for help.
@@gavincrump9831 To each his own. Funny you should acknowledge the general timeline though. Your criticism of another's belief is really funny or maybe more ironic also.
I love how Sally praying for Jesus to help soap opera characters against their nemesis is what pushed Jesus over the edge. A huge Heavenly eyeroll.

There is a story in the Gospels where a woman gets Jesus to heal her daughter by, essentially, shaming him! Mark 7:24-31 and Matthew 15:22-28.

@@andrewofmo1091 yes,gentle humor with him is no problem to be done. In a almost perfect world, comedians could do some jokes here and there, just not too frequently. I looked at what this story was, it was a famous one, but it was not a "I called you out" situation. Jesus decided to not help her for the stated reason, and the woman was REALLY good on her answer and showed that she really believed in him, so he changed his mind. I think it's somehow when you (if you are catholic) ask for him to heal your son, and he doesn't do. But then you ask again in a REALLY better/strong way, and he does.
Actually it's not sacrilegious the Monsignor actually talked about people that do this. People who do this are demeaning what prayer is about. If any one is sacrilegious is people trivializing prayer. In the Catholic church prayer is something taken very seriously and respected. You're asking God's help.

There’s a way that seems right to a man But Ends in Eternal death- Proverbs something! Death is a continuous state because you sin against eternal God, you get eternal punishment!

You need to escape hell now there’s no 2nd chances on judgment day!
Yep....to me the hidden message was all those sickeningly hollow words after each mass shooting...."..All our thoughts and PRAYERS are with you.." ...and then no actual human response to address the repetitive serial gun violence. Great segment, great acting!
Wayne T keep doing it , he already cares enough to know the number of hairs in your head, he already gives you the breath , and he loves that , and totally welcome
I get you Wayne T and agree with you. Faith is about pursuing nature and life flow, and doing the right thing at the right time, not stalking Jesus and taking advantage of Him, or asking Him to be responsible always for our lifes so we can remain unconscious, irresponsible and dumb.
Wayne T its just a comedy skit, was funny and sweet haha but Jesus appreciates every single little thing you pray about to Him, that's the beauty of it
I love this sketch, but I actually think that praying for everything is a very good and useful habit. It keeps one humble and grateful for everything. ❤
@@anniesok868 just me reflecting some of the other comments about how good her acting was in this clip. I do know Sally Field is one of America’s greatest ever actors. 🙄
I showed this to a friend of mine who is a devoted Christian and I'm glad to say,he was able to see the humor in a positive way. He wasn't offended and he even asked me to send him a link. Not all church goers go overboard like this character does .
This skit deserves the Oscars!!! Best actor, best actress, best screenplay, best director, best skit, best producer, best costumes......it is so convincing!
I had a friend at the height of Jesus Freakery who prayed that Oscar Meyer hot dogs would be in the supermarket, and lo and behold, they were. C'est un miracle.
Holy crap if anyone ever could have won an Oscar for a tv performance, it would be Sally Field. She's freaking incredible. You can tell even Phil is kind of blown away by her intensity and emotion. And then she has to just flip a switch and be back like nothing happened!
I will always love Sally Fields. Her performance is so sweet and full of realism. I thought she was going to leave the studio flying along with Yizzez on her own funny flying nun hat.
The way Phil tries to imply she’s too much slays me. I love this sketch! I laughed so hard when I first saw it. Another one that goes into the hall of fame.
@@charlie-obrien SNL is sketch performing, not acting. From what I've read, the performers need the cue cards because the lines will get changed nearly up until showtime. For some reason, though, the 80s cast rarely appeared to be looking at the cue cards.
I went to a Christian high school. One of my teachers would pray at the beginning of every class. One day, my classmates and I had enough bogus prayer requests to fill an hour and we didn't have to turn in our homework that day. 🙃 She'd regularly waste 20% of the class on praying.

Rockomax 👍
Lol
😀
🤣 amen
You wish ....
Something about Phil Hartman's mannerisms at 4:34 -- 4:45 that take his Jesus impression to another level. Literally made me LOL.
One of my favorites! Thank God for great comedy writers and great actors to play them out!
Sally Fields is awesome :)
She's amazing !!
Jesus! Sally Field is such a good actress, I actually felt embarrassed for her character. This was a master class!!
@Meadow Pinkelle why is this a weird comment.
Sally Field is such a good actress that I felt so much empathy for the character she was portraying that I felt the embarrassment she was feeling. how's that, just so you understand better.
Such a simple premise, but the performances are so top notch here it really elevates it to something special.
The funny part is that there are people like this in this world
yea most of them are praying for politics
Justin Credible good Lord, no. Let me tell you, I love Jesus, but it bugs me to be around people who can’t get through a paragraph without out “praise His name,” “He is so good”, or referencing Jesus in some other way. Like they need to assure themselves and convince others of their faith.
Justin Credible I am a well educated person who was an atheist for years. I have heard every argument for and against faith and have my own very good reasons for my own faith. Take care.
Justin Credible Justin, you wouldn’t believe me if I told you. It was certainly proof enough for me.
@@tonibauer2949 I am an Atheist who was once Christian and, my opinion is, no one should badger anyone about their faith or lack of it. I wish you peace.
These kinds of people really do exist and the southern accent says it all.
I am glad it confirmed your bias.
It's not our fault that the Bible belt is a real thing.
Yeah, but where in the Bible does it say you should be so obsessive and superficial?
This is not about what the bible says but whether these kinds of people really exist in the bible belt.
kuribo1 jesus still loves. If he would be still living
Phil Hartman can play anything! 🤣 From Troy McClure to Jesus 😁
and both are as real as each other. she might as well pray to troy
Amen!
to 💀
@@smilingjack7622please, like you know! It's your opinion and like assholes, we all have one. You gotta be a young idiot to be so cock about something you will never be able to begin to comprehend. I'd say go back to your mom's basement kid and play your fukin video games and quot making statements about God out of your ass!
awesome sketch..whole idea was a masterpiece..there was a hidden message behind this. my god sally fields is an awesome actress
This sketch has certainly sparked a bunch of debate... What do you think that hidden message was?
@@sharonjarvis-young710Always Keep the Jesus plates clean. Jesus can visit anytime. 😁
@@rodgerbenson6929... Well, according to this logic ... it looks like I may be in trouble... I barely have any matching dishes and Jesus plates are hard to come by... do you you think Jesus will forgive me... Do you think Jesus would be okay with just paper plates? I actually think he'd be okay, you know... because I think Jesus is cool like that. ;)
There’s a way that seems right to a man But Ends in Eternal death- Proverbs something!
Death is a continuous state because you sin against eternal God, you get eternal punishment! It’s also the same verse where we get the law of entropy from in science Genesis 2:17, The first sin cursed the whole universe into dying!
Adam and Eve ate from the fruit and they were promised they would die that day and adverse and they did not die in a finality state they started dying spiritually and physically; death is a continuous state, you’ll never be annihilated in hell!
You need to escape hell now there’s no 2nd chances on judgment day!
Yep....to me the hidden message was all those sickeningly hollow words after each mass shooting...."..All our thoughts and PRAYERS are with you.." ...and then no actual human response to address the repetitive serial gun violence. Great segment, great acting!
Jesus holding a Jesus plate! 😂😂
Sally Field is such an amazing talent. Her skills are shining in this skit...
Phil Hartman was a treasure.
Read what happened to him and his family in 1998.
Imagine Jesus actually looking over rice to prevent becoming sticky
I like how respectful yet funny this is I watched it live
Holy Crap! I used to be like that. It's like I was stalking Jesus!
Wayne T Did you get mental help?
Wayne T keep doing it , he already cares enough to know the number of hairs in your head, he already gives you the breath , and he loves that , and totally welcome
I get you Wayne T and agree with you. Faith is about pursuing nature and life flow, and doing the right thing at the right time, not stalking Jesus and taking advantage of Him, or asking Him to be responsible always for our lifes so we can remain unconscious, irresponsible and dumb.
Wayne T its just a comedy skit, was funny and sweet haha but Jesus appreciates every single little thing you pray about to Him, that's the beauty of it
Lol religious people should be locked up in a mental institution
I've been praying I'd find this sketch again after so many years.
Your prayers have been answered...
Jesus would like to have a word with you...
“Please be with Luke and Laura”
That part got me. She’s praying for characters on a soap opera. 😂
Sally Fields is such a great actress that I actually felt bad for her in this skit.
In my timeline it's Sally Field
@@tubular618 I wonder if Sally Fields and Christopher Reeves ever did a movie together.
@@jedijones 😁
@@tubular618 😏
Not only one of the best snl sketches ever, but that was one of the funniest things ever staged!
Masterful writing and brilliant performances! 👏👏👏
I love this sketch, but I actually think that praying for everything is a very good and useful habit. It keeps one humble and grateful for everything. ❤
Phil Hartman is definitely in my top 5 funniest people ever. Total pro
Great physical comedian for sure
I think Sally Field should turn to acting as a profession. She’s got a real knack for it.
She's a professional actress!
And 2 Oscars already
Nah, i disagree. No amount of prayers to Jesus could help her land an acting gig.
@@anniesok868 just me reflecting some of the other comments about how good her acting was in this clip. I do know Sally Field is one of America’s greatest ever actors. 🙄
@@anniesok868 I'm sure he's kidding.
A funny premise but done in a way that was so believable and moving. I am not religious and yet was deeply moved.
One of the absolute best skits in SNL history.
I showed this to a friend of mine who is a devoted Christian and I'm glad to say,he was able to see the humor in a positive way. He wasn't offended and he even asked me to send him a link. Not all church goers go overboard like this character does .
A luke warm faith isn't faith at all, however.
All the way to the Franklin overpass😂😂😂😂
One of my all time favorite skits that I still quote regularly.
This skit deserves the Oscars!!! Best actor, best actress, best screenplay, best director, best skit, best producer, best costumes......it is so convincing!
any SNL skit with Phil Hartman was gold, pure gold
this deserves an Oscar! LOL
It would be an Emmy since it's a TV show but yeah sure why not
Wow. Blasphemy upon blasphemy. Woe. Woe.
@@connectingdots3574 I know it's hilarious!😂😂😂
I had a friend at the height of Jesus Freakery who prayed that Oscar Meyer hot dogs would be in the supermarket, and lo and behold, they were. C'est un miracle.
Lol
I'm a Christian and I approve this message!
i cant see how Jesus holding a Jesus plate is not funny...i just cant...
Holy crap if anyone ever could have won an Oscar for a tv performance, it would be Sally Field. She's freaking incredible. You can tell even Phil is kind of blown away by her intensity and emotion. And then she has to just flip a switch and be back like nothing happened!
Phil Hartman oozes wittiness!
I will always love Sally Fields. Her performance is so sweet and full of realism. I thought she was going to leave the studio flying along with Yizzez on her own funny flying nun hat.
Was Sally Field actually ever young? Feels like she's been a mom forever.
@nimrodian will do.
@nimrodian and Gidget.
Smokey and the Bandit.
Her biggest TV roles she’s a young adult/teen Gidget and the Flying Nun
See my comments a bit redundant considering the other responses
Epic. Everyone should watch this at least once.
The way Phil tries to imply she’s too much slays me. I love this sketch! I laughed so hard when I first saw it. Another one that goes into the hall of fame.
He needs to visit my grandma!
Sally Field, Phil Hartman, Legends. Old School SNL, Legendary.
Sally proves you can read cue cards and act SO WELL you don't even notice.
Excellent point! DeNiro on SNL is always surprisingly stiff, to me.
She's not reading the cue cards. She did the work and committed her lines to memory. That's what a trained actor does.
@@charlie-obrien SNL is sketch performing, not acting. From what I've read, the performers need the cue cards because the lines will get changed nearly up until showtime. For some reason, though, the 80s cast rarely appeared to be looking at the cue cards.
Very happy that TH-cam is sending these older SNL sketches into my feed. Some dynamite writing and acting here. Keep em coming, Algorithm!
I love Sally Fields.. brilliant
Sally Fields got nominated for an Oscar for this sketch.
They liked her! They really liked her!
That would have been an Emmy nomination.
@@leefischer2486 The Lord works in mysterious ways...
@@CBlargh That may be so, but he doesn't give Academy Awards to SNL.
What?? For real?
Salley Fields character reminds me of all the crazy people i grew up with. This skit is painfully accurate.
Phil Hartman always played Jesus with grace and humor
Look what happened to him and his family in 1998.
I went to a Christian high school. One of my teachers would pray at the beginning of every class. One day, my classmates and I had enough bogus prayer requests to fill an hour and we didn't have to turn in our homework that day. 🙃 She'd regularly waste 20% of the class on praying.
I had never seen this one. Phil and Sally were great😂
Best Jesus impersonation. Nailed it.
Sally Field probably makes every walk a PR. She's absolutley committed to this silly sketch. She's a national treasure.
Phil Hartman is so soothing as Jesus.
Phil Hartman’s dead for mocking Jesus
No. He's dead because of his junkie wife. Jesus doesn't exist. Grow up@@jjphank
I live in the south and That’s basically my religious next door neighbor😂
As always, a brilliant performance by the king himself..Phil Hartman
@Snarick Klash , uhhh, Phil Hartman?!?! It's written right there.
The king of kings.
How come none of the other actors wanted to play Jesus after Hartman died?
