+Jeffrey Riley I think I heard Bill Hader say that in dress that night it was a completely different character and they just decided before air that they'd re-do it as James Mason, and Hamm did that without even rehearsing it, he just pulled it out of nowhere.
this will make you realize how amazing Jon Hamm is.... I heard someone else (I can't remember who) was supposed to do the part of James Mason, but bowed out at the very last second: Jon stepped up, learned it within minutes & did the impression spot-on! AMAZING!!!
I remember in the 70s, the networks aired some of their most popular shows on Saturday night, and people actually stayed home to watch. I remember around '73-74 , CBS was running the powerhouse line-up of "All in the Family", "The Mary Tyler Moore Show", "The Bob Newhart Show" and the "The Carol Burnett Show" on Saturday night. Definitely must-see TV.
Bill Hader's Vincent Price is like the practical goth friend who just wants everyone to stay in character during his murder-mystery roleplay birthday party.
Like the 2000 New Years' dinner my friend insisted we all come to when we were just out of high school...at our local small-town restaurant where seniors usually went. The restaurant was almost empty. He showed up dressed in a suit. He wrote his predictions for the new millennium in a notebook and made the rest of us write in it too. One of his predictions went something like, "The screams of the dying echoed down the avenues of the ruined city."
@@luisalcalabeltran7942 You have no idea. The guy was a riot. I could fill a book with stories of the crazy stuff he did, all the while being totally oblivious to it. At his medieval-themed wedding when he was 25, he made us all dress up in costumes. He picked out the costume pattern, which clearly said 'Renaissance' on it, and we had to buy the material.

Most regrettably, because he was the one high school friend I would have genuinely liked to keep into adulthood :(
@@PC-wp9tj Price was not gay. He was perceived as gay because he was effete and intellectual and artistic. He was happily married and there’s no evidence he was closeted with a secret life.
That's accurate to real life. He worked hard to make his sets safe for actors and crew in general, but even more if there were any child actors (Vincent was a dad & former child star and took set child safety more seriously than anyone else in Hollywood, both not being scared by his horror films and others)
This was reflected in real life, he hosted a Canadian children's show (The Hilarious House of Frightenstien) for very cheap ($13,000) just because he wanted to do something for children. If you ever look up any behind the scenes stories, you will find out that everyone on the production loved him and thought he was the greatest, he even bought the entire cast and crew beers and, them stories when they were all exhausted and needed a break.
Jon Hamm killed it. Most people don’t know he was supposed to portray Dean Martin, but Lorne Michaels changed it to James Mason at the last minute. Very talented!
Better than the shite pete davidson puts out for sure. Fred, Bill and Kristen especially are fantastic comedians . Then John Hamm in the mix is perfect
@@93Gav agreed. there’s a big difference between talented actors/comedians than just obnoxious or outrageous people. Like when people try to say Rebel Wilson is funnier than Melissa McCarthy...no lol
Jon Hamm is damn good. He sounds like James Mason and Kristen has the mannerisms of GS in Sunset Blvd down pat! I got to shake James Mason's hand at Sardi's in 1979 or 1980!

misslulu. Interesting fact about Jon Hamm's performance.b He came up with that impression at the last minute. They changed his character right before the skit.
Thanks Christ A! You would think he spent hours watching Mason clips, just every line/word/pronunciation so spot on! Although maybe writers get the bulk of credit here, not sure.
h d If I remember the story correctly, the skit was already written, and I think Jon was supposed to do it as Cary Grant. At the last minute someone thought it would be more funny as James Mason. They asked Jon if he thought he could do the impression. Without rehearsal or hesitation he came up with that brilliant performance on the spot.
Didn’t know John Ham was this talented, does a great James Mason. What makes skits like this so funny is you know Mason probably showed up at parties just like this, back in the early 60s
Bill Hader did a great job as Vincent Price, my favorite part was where he said "toilet TISSSS-yew." That said, it's a shame most of the younger members of the audience had no idea who any of these people were.
Yeah, that no one in the audience really caught onto the rock solid Swanson was weird. SNL even sold it with the "closeup" shot. That said, this was more like a skit that should've been on the 1984 season.
Bill Hader told the story of how "Save your sassy asides for your windowless bars!" was John Mulaneys first joke he pitched when he began at SNL. It sounded so funny I had to find the sketch and it’s crazy to see no one laughed
Kris Wustrow At the time, gay bars were windowless to protect the patrons from being seen and arrested or attacked. He's basically saying, "Save your sassy in-jokes for the gay bar!"
antonio: OK, I just got it. In those days, gay bars were windowless, because so many of the people in them were closeted and did not want to be seen inside them.
@@milascave2 That...and as some have stated in an above comment. It wasn't that they just didn't want to be outed. If they were just caught at the least dancing together they would be raided by the police and more than likely beaten and arrested.
Interesting fact: the James Mason part was originally written to be Dean Martin, which they changed right before air and quickly rewrote to take out all of the Rat Pack references but not quick enough so all the rest of the dialogue itself is exactly the same. Also, Bill Hader said that one of his most favourite lines from his entire run on SNL was "Save your sassiest sides for your windowless bars," which the audience didn't laugh at. Which is weird.
these SNL Vincent Price specials with Bill Hader will never not be funny to me. I just discovered them and can't stop watching them on an almost daily basis.
That's it..."Cool it Liberace" is now my go to phrase. Saw this last night and it is even funnier tonight. Thanks for saving this gem for those who can truly appreciate the inside stuff.
this sketch is brilliant. the jokes are clever and all land, it's super creative, and all the performances are flawless - every single character has a vibrant personality conveyed in just 5 minutes.
Never having met Vincent Price, I can still say he'd be laughing hysterically at this whole thing along with the rest of us. Plus, the idea of health-nut Gloria eating raw pumpkin is also hysterical.
For older people this is not even parody. Those old 70's variety shows were populated by the walking dead. They were very funny. I loved all the old stars.
I think people who not only know of, but are fans of, Vincent Price and Sunset Blvd. are a rare breed for the sheer fact that the stuff is so old. I love it, though. I’m only in my early 30s but I grew up on Lawrence Welk reruns. So, I also loved the Lennon Sisters bit.
The skit is hilarious because Jon Hamm was supposed to play Dean Martin, but after dress rehearsal they changed his character to James Mason but didn't change the dialogue.
I just recently caught these I've been watching all the Vincent Price specials they're freaking hilarious. Besides the spot-on impersonations they really capture that early television bugs aren't worked out going out live screwing up improv kind of feel

Honestly, my favorite Hader skit set (yes, better than Stefon, fight me).
So brilliant. I can't believe how good the gorgeous Jon Hamm is in the role of James Mason and Kristen Wiiig. ....I could laugh me knickers off!!!

I didn't think he could do it, and it was perfect, a very drunk, very horny James Mason.
“Save your sassy asides for your windowless bars.” That gem went right over the heads of the audience.
No it didn't. Who do you think is in the studio audience? They don't like it when you make fun of them.
I think they got it but you can only go so far when making fun of somebody who is no longer here to defend himself
An overt liberaci gay joke? More likely no one wants to eat low hanging fruit.

that's cuz most of the people watching are about 20-30 years too young for this :( I mean....I am too kind of, but I still find it hilarious
I think people who not only know of, but are fans of, Vincent Price and Sunset Blvd. are a rare breed for the sheer fact that the stuff is so old. I love it, though. I’m only in my early 30s but I grew up on Lawrence Welk reruns. So, I also loved the Lennon Sisters bit.
So true. I grew up loving AMC and TCM, and luckily i have two or three close friends who do too and I’m about to forward this video to them
I remember watching this and I was at home DYING, and the audience was just so-so about it.
Hamm does an awesome Mason!
Why does Fred Armison make me think of Gilbert Gottfried?
I bet he could do a great Paul Lynde
Chatty Monkey Don Yes! It would b lost on this generation. I was in grade school during his height. His windowless bar asides were lost on me then.🤔😃
Gilbert did a great Liberace impression on the Howard Stern Show. I think you can find it on TH-cam.
Because he’s showing his teeth
Peanut Buttervag Yes! Has he played Steve Mnuchin yet?
Nobody does Liberace's flying piano hands better!
I wanted this to be going on forever, this was fucking hilarious! The impressions were so very good, I LOVE this!
Bill Hader is incredible at being creepy and disturbing - and he does a picture perfect Vincent Price!
Bill Hader as Vincent Price is one of my all time favorite characters. SUCH an amazing and hilarious impression. He nailed it.
Vincent: "It's a family show."
James: "Where ah the whores?!"
The skit is hilarious because Jon Hamm was supposed to play Dean Martin, but after dress rehearsal they changed his character to James Mason but didn't change the dialogue.
I really fancy wiig as Swanson.
wtf me?
She makes one hot pirate.
Jon Hamm is even sexier with James Mason's voice!!
Love her Gloria Swanson, but she sounded more like Katherine Hepburn!!
Loved this sketch...
OldRaver1 Yeah, I noticed that about Hamm too.
Yeah, definitely Katherine Hepburn
I'v watched this over a 100 times....gets me everytime love hader
I just recently caught these I've been watching all the Vincent Price specials they're freaking hilarious. Besides the spot-on impersonations they really capture that early television bugs aren't worked out going out live screwing up improv kind of feel
Kristen was amazing in this sketch.
Bill Hader is literally my spirit in a person 😍
gloria sawnson was insane
Agreed!
She come up with a natural skin care line before it was en Vogue
Scientology sent her mad
@@ProjectFlashlight612 She was also a big advocate against sugar (what she actually said..."that stuff will kill you").
No, she was a smart business woman, she had her own movie studio, she practice healthy eating , no flour, or sugar, and made millions, and she not some man control all of it.
The James Mason imitation by Jon Hamm is so underappreciated, maybe too vague for recent generations.
"Vagina" - ".. _wonderful_ " omg the delivery on that one
Oh, poor Vincent...
