Agreed. Take it from a retired journeyman actor, physical comedy is probably the toughest assignment one can be given. It not only requires commitment, timing and a body in decent shape, but most importantly safety. So you can do it for 8 performances a week.
Only maybe by her predecessor Gilda Radner who threw herself so hard into a closet door that she broke a rib during dress rehearsal for the "Judy Miller Show" sketch.
Courtney struggled and eventually beat a heavy addiction problem, that is true. But in what way did Madonna try to " clean up her act?" She wa always in control of her life and career. I am glad Courtney did not stop being punk , though
@@lovelyvividly Madonna had tried for years to get treated as a serious actress and Evita was in her mind a sure win for Oscar nomination however it only got her a golden globe and a few years later she quit acting and left Hollywood with a rather unimpressive IMDB page
This skit showcases the strengths of this comedic trio: Ana Gasteyer, as the chameleon who vanishes into her characters; Cheri Oteri as the spark plug of unbridled energy; and Molly Shannon as the crazed wild card who goes over the top!
Madonna isn't shown as too 'desperate' in this sketch - more like falling back on her winning the Golden Globe, as consolation for being snubbed by the Oscars.
The misogyny in a lot of the comments. Yikes! Anyway, Cheri Oteri was just so darn cute as Debbie Reynolds. Always loved her as Debbie and Molly as Ann Miller in the Leg Up skits. For me these are the years when the women regularly outshone the men.
The lady in red has bangs on top of bangs. And that clothes is real from the 90's! The mom from the Goldbergs wears stuff lile that. My mind is kinda blown.
This was when SNL was still great.....Debbie Reynolds impression was spot on....so good. Ted Koppel was so funny too. I’ve seen better Madonna impressions. But, still their very worst was still better than today’s best.
In the first 20 years of SNL (1975-95) I only have one women in the top ten of it's cast: 1. Will Ferrell 2. Jim Carrey 3. Phil Hartman 4. Eddie Murphy 5. SHERI OTERI 6. Chris Farley 7. Dana Carvey 8. Richard Pryor 9. John Belushi 10. Bill Murray
Courtney Love really was robbed! But she should have been campaigned as supporting, not leading. Also, Emily Watson should have won that year for "Breaking the Waves"!
@@leojohnson3045 no i'm not. i'm not offended. i'm making a reference to the general culture that we are living in. also, being mindful of others isn't a negative. sounds like you're callous.
Molly Shannon’s physical comedy is unparalleled.
So true! She COMMITS.

Overrated, the word is overrated...
Agreed
I remember when this skit first aired. Perfectly captured how Madonna and Courtney Love were trying to clean up their images. Hilarious.
they where just so desperate it was so sad
@@jmann6130 What? Why "sad?" They have booth been doing pretty good ever since.
Courtney struggled and eventually beat a heavy addiction problem, that is true. But in what way did Madonna try to " clean up her act?" She wa always in control of her life and career. I am glad Courtney did not stop being punk , though

Courtney Love was always pretty clean-cut, she just got attacked by the media for being a genuine human and not a stereotypical pop-princess.
Nobody comes close to whatever Cheri Oteri’s energy is! 😆🙌🔥
Frrr
The Courtney impression got too real. That's the thing when you're an amazing actress beyond the comedy.
Molly Shannon is incredible.
Always loved to see Molly as Courtney Love -- pretty well captured everything about her in the 90s.
Even the bruises she always had on her legs
Molly looks really sexy as Love.
The bruises on Molly Shannon made me LOL 😂
Molly just hosted SNL, and reminded us what a great a performer she is.
Cheri Oteri, insane, brilliant.
Lorelai Nokomis Yes!! My favorite part!
SHOWBIZ!
You forgot underrated
so underrated
This skit showcases the strengths of this comedic trio: Ana Gasteyer, as the chameleon who vanishes into her characters; Cheri Oteri as the spark plug of unbridled energy; and Molly Shannon as the crazed wild card who goes over the top!
I'm just here for Courtney Love tribute. Love it.
Was the pun intended?
“Nice try venerial girl”. Lmao just got that “material girl”
nothing gets past you
Same just got it
it dont mayter anyway
Not venerial girl. 😆😆 That one got a laugh out of me.
Molly Shannon, also -- insane and brilliant. Love the way they capture the desperation of Madonna.
Ana Gasteyer is playing Madonna
Madonna isn't shown as too 'desperate' in this sketch - more like falling back on her winning the Golden Globe, as consolation for being snubbed by the Oscars.
The old bag.
Ana didn't capture any of the essence of Madonna. If you want to see a well done Madonna, forward to Kristen Wiig playing super bowl Madonna.
The late 90s were golden for content to work with and that cast performed spectacularly. I really miss those times.
The late 1990s were great in every way. Everything has gone downhill since then, including SNL
@@danmseattle975 those are some great rose tinted glasses you're wearing! Nostalgia's one helluva drug
@spatchmo6938 so is the cocaine they did during that time.
that introduction of Courtney Love is fucking hilarious....because she was courting the award season...she tried to clean up her image.
"Nice try venereal girl" Hahahahahaha !
T Paul best line in the skit!
T Paul 😂😂😂😂😂
Best line of the sketch!
It's a trip down memory lane whenever celebrities are parodied. No matter the time period - if you're parodied on SNL, you mean something, lol!
You made it, baby!
Mark 8:36
King James Version
36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
Sheri Oteri reminds me of Martin Short so much. I wish she was in more these days
ZEB YES 😂😂😂
6:03 it is the best "Live fom NY.." version for me now.
that Courtney Love impression tho
*Who else is waiting for Courtney to throw a compact at Madonna??*
I came here for this comment. Thank you for your service!
I don’t get it
@@scouser2010ify Look up Madonna vs Courtney VMA
Molly Shannon killed that intro!!
Everything about this sketch has aged. And I love it
that manic impersonation of debbie reynolds was hilarious! [tappity tap tappity tap.. taptaptaptaptaptap!!] SHOWBIZ!!!
3:08..." Nice try VANEREAL GIRL" 😮😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂
"Mattress Back" 😂 and Molly was awesome!
Cheri oteri was the cutest ever, I miss the old cast.
She is my favorite by far!
R. I. P. Debbie Reynolds & Carrie Fisher 😢
I miss Cheri Oteri so much!
that debbie reynolds impression also works as a really bad liza minelli impression
@salokin G Cheri Oteri
Funny, bc Liza is the daughter of Hollywood “royalty” like Carrie is to Reynolds.
hhahaa cocaine strung
"Mmmmm that's good tea! "
'I bet'.
@@waynej2608 I wonder what was in that tea!
Molly Shannon was always so committed and brilliant and funny. What a bloody legend!!
We need a CHERI EPISODE THIS YEAR!
These women are amazing!!! Awesome performances
Shannon's live performance at the end was better than most live acts at that time...lol.
amazing how molly's guitar kept playing after she unplugged it.
Debbie Reynolds's backdrop was the house from Matt Foley's sketches. XD
RIP CF and D R.
Cheri O'terri should be more famous than all!
I miss these 3 ladies! So funny and talented!
That was the best SNL lineup ever!! Well, at least mine.
The Courtney Love parody is beyond. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Back when SNL was actually funny.
Molly looked really good here
Cheryl Oteri is hilarious. Love her!
One of the greatest cold opens ever.
"Nice try venereal girl" 😆
The misogyny in a lot of the comments. Yikes!
Anyway, Cheri Oteri was just so darn cute as Debbie Reynolds. Always loved her as Debbie and Molly as Ann Miller in the Leg Up skits. For me these are the years when the women regularly outshone the men.
That suicide joke wouldn't fly today, but it is absurd enough to be funny.
The snl cast during this era was top tier
Hehe. Her guitar isn't plugged in but it makes noise properly.
Lol
i'm here just for courtney love, amazing molly!
Venereal Girl 😂
I love Cheri Oteri she was always one of the best!
Cheri oteri and molly Shannon, 2 of the best!!
Someone really needs to upload Molly Shannon as Tori Amos some day
Those ladies were awesome, darrell too, Live from new york, i really miss u!!,
5:44 Holey moley Molly, Love it.
Cheri Oteri is so funny! !!
The lady in red has bangs on top of bangs.
And that clothes is real from the 90's!
The mom from the Goldbergs wears stuff lile that.
My mind is kinda blown.
Darrell Hammond 👍🏻😄😂😆
The only time Debbie Reynolds was ever nominated for an Oscar was for her starring role in The Unsinkable Molly Brown.
Which was a fine film, though "Singin' in the Rain" is still my favorite of her movies.
This was a great time for SNL.
MOLLY!!
This was when SNL was still great.....Debbie Reynolds impression was spot on....so good. Ted Koppel was so funny too. I’ve seen better Madonna impressions. But, still their very worst was still better than today’s best.
Cheri Oteri is seriously underrated.
Cheri has a great body and she's a crazy Virgo like me
He does a good Koppel
The bruises on Courtney are a nice touch!
RIP Carry Fisher😩
Actual Internet trash And Debbie Reynolds.
It’s Carrie
That's a pretty damm good impression of Madonna.
Good Lord!!! 😂Thank God for Cheri Oteri!😂❤️
Cheri Oteri didn't get Debbie's voice right at all. Debbie talked like a 1950's debutante.
She’s always the same and always damn funny
She caught Debbie's late career essence, and had some fun with it. All three gals were amazing.
I love Cheri Oteri!!
"Get your facts straight Debbie!"
I miss these ladies on snl !! So hilarious
I used to have a suit just like the one Molly Shannon is wearing, lol.
Molly Shannon could’ve played Courtney Love in a biopic
Omg Molly Shannon! 😂
"stripper wife of kurt cobain"
..."venereal girl" 😆🤣😆🤣
Sheri Oteri was in scary movie 1 in the role of Gail Hailstorm, she has a unique voice.
I love and miss Molly Shannon!!!
Molly Shannon owned it
SHOWBIZ!!!!
😂😂😂 the way Molly Shannon slams her foot down
Cheri O. sounds like she's doing her Barbara Walters impersonation .
I want "Courtney's" pink guitar!
Live from New York it’s Saturday Night!!!!!! 😂
I think I prefer funny women over men. They're fuckinh great.
@oktopustrainer first of all therevareclesbians second no not really
In the first 20 years of SNL (1975-95) I only have one women in the top ten of it's cast:
1. Will Ferrell
2. Jim Carrey
3. Phil Hartman
4. Eddie Murphy
5. SHERI OTERI
6. Chris Farley
7. Dana Carvey
8. Richard Pryor
9. John Belushi
10. Bill Murray
I prefer to cum over grumpy ugly men
🤣🤣🤣♥️♥️
Courtney Love really was robbed! But she should have been campaigned as supporting, not leading. Also, Emily Watson should have won that year for "Breaking the Waves"!
Emily Watson was so good in that movie. I found it a bit hard to watch because it was so cruel.
OMG his reaction to Golden globe was priceless!!!!
bahhahahhaa i knew it was courtney love from the thumbnail
"Matress back" 😂😂
Remember Molly Shannon impersonated Tori Amos? 😂 .this cast was my childhood. My favs.
This sketch should've gotten more views.
there's no way suicide could be a joke nowadays.
mm no youre just sensitive
@@leojohnson3045 no i'm not. i'm not offended. i'm making a reference to the general culture that we are living in. also, being mindful of others isn't a negative. sounds like you're callous.
Cheri Oteri is always hilarious!!!
Jennifer Lawrence wasn't nominated for Mother either
Uh, for a good reason.
That movie was so bad
@@sydneyprescott3374 my friend keeps trying to get me to watch it. said it was amazing. hes an idiot though
@@tisdue DONT WATCH IT!!!! ITS CONFUSING AND BORING
Jennifer Lawrence was never in a movie called mother!
How isn’t Cheri Oteri a megastar?
I feel bad laughing at "debbie Reynods", given how she and Carrie both died.
2:35 This is what you call a "slow burn".
Anna Rocks 😂
