Al Franken plays a senator here and then straight-up becomes a senator later lmao
Apparently there was some issue on SNL about his writing and so he quit went into politics for real!
@@nicolekomenda2134 then he had to resign because the very same thing this skit was about. Ah the irony
He was acting the whole time...
Lol
You just CAN'T make this stuff up.
Who’s here in 2020 because of the algorithm?
Me! Trump 2020!!!
Me 🤦🏻♀️
Me but because I hunt for SNL on the daily.
Trump 2020 my ass....
@@atrain84 good luck commie!
@@d_chatz8353 what a lame comment
The irony of seeing Al Franken sitting at the end of the row in 2020 is too much. 😆
Ironically Senator Al Franken was on the Judiciary Committee to
too much what?
It's as ironic as the lyrics to the song ironic are.. Isn't it ironic?
I think you should go back and read up on that story for yourself because if you did that you would know how much that statement makes no sense.
not really.
I love how they turn the hearing into Senators questioning what works in picking up women. It’s comic genius
This was very much like the actual Senate hearing.
2:21 Hartman was two words into that thing and practically a standing ovation. That's classic.
Funny that Franken is playing a Senator at a sexual harassment hearing, and then he went on to be a Senator that resigned over sexual harassment.
He was dubbed Fish Lips by one of his accusers.
Tells you that any clown can be a politician
That real life story is the funniest thing Franken was ever a part of
When he really didn't harass anyone. LeAnn Tweeden is an exaggerating asshole.
franken was an asshole …way before , snl. I never found him funny , not at all ! ! ! He reminds , me of some of the dorks , that I had to deal with in high school. When I say deal with , I mean kick the shit out of ! And then do 3 days suspended, and this was back in 70- 72.
That Ted Kennedy impersonation is top notch.
Lots of good ones here. Chris Farley did a good Heflin. Dana Carvey did a good Strom Thurmond too.
Nobody was better than Phil Hartman at impersonations.
@@dougritzema4778 legend!
@@papacinoooo You are CORRECT sir, YES!!!
Would you expect anything less from The Late Great Legendary Chris Farley?...EVERYTHING he did on SNL was Comedic GOLD!
“What porno movie did you talk about?,,,That’s a good movie judge...but do you really think hardcore porno is the way to go?...cause I feel women prefer softer porn?
lol, seeing Al Franken playing senator
LOL
It's really a shame he kidnapped and murdered those innocent kids
Ironic on so many levels...
The irony is killing me. 😅
@@paulm6081 oh the irony,
Phil Hartman's Ted Kennedy was brilliant.
Rip
Because of the implication.
@@blazertracer1 are these girls in danger?
@@jacobstone4 no. But they won't say no, because of the implication.
@@blazertracer1 see now you've said that word a couple of times.
SNL is going to be a part of our national archives.
I hope just a part. Not apart
Wait, Trump says they unfairly attack him and don't attack his opponents ever.
Is it possible he's just a baby far too fragile of any parody or criticism?
No, that can't be true, he's our president because he's the smartest person in earth
@@slashismyhommie8182 I mean, he tried to have this show cancelled despite people around his circle like Ted Cruz don't want cancel culture.
SNL BITES “NOW”
#LAPTOP
@@slashismyhommie8182 Let's be honest here. SNL and a lot of popular media is fairly progressive and left leaning. They do make fun of liberals occasionally but they know what sells. They know most of their audience prefers them to make fun of conservatives, and that's exactly what they do. Remember this hearing is from the 90s. They don't make fun of Democrats much any more. They do, but not nearly as much as Trump. Also, I know it's easy to make fun of Trump and that's what people want to see and I think it's funny. But Trump does have a valid point.
Tim Meadows is like the most underrated SNL dude ever
UNDERRATED!!! Now THERES a word that everyone misuses!!
What a cast! Carvey, Nealon, Farley, Meadows, Hartman, Rock... dang
It hurts so good to see Misters Hartman and Farley. Too funny for this world
The golden years
@brent rogers Chris Rock, yes
And Franken
That's Tim Meadows.
This is my all-time favorite SNL political skit. Heflin and Thurmond had me rolling, and the way Chris Rock says "Long...Dong...Silver" just cracks me up.
Oh wow
I live in South Carolina.....and we all got a kick out of the Thurmond impression.
And probably the only time Rock yells "Live From New York..."
“Get them out on your boat for some reason, because then it’s really hard for them to get away.” I believe that’s now phrased as, “because of the implication”
Omg I was looking for this comment 😂 exactly what I was thinking
And stares at you insanely seriously
I'm stupid what's the implication
I remember the night this episode aired. I was so pissed that SNL was being pre-empted for more hearings. I died laughing when the camera cut to the "hearing".
I wonder if they offered Kevin Nealon a chance to play Biden again.
He’d be 💯 % better than Carrey
@@PositiveLastAction Carrey's impression is basically Fire Marshall Bill in a suit.
Or even better an actual cast member like Beck or Alex
@Don Christiano jason will always be better.
@@lking1540 So true
This cast was unbelievable! All of them in one skit is epic!
Al Franken later became a senator and then resigned because of sexual harassment. Nailed this one 2 decades early.
Heh, actually, it’s a year short of three decades early.
Wait for the rest
hit job
Sexual harassment my ass.
@@tacky_yawn94 The Al Frankenstein thing happened in 2017
Holy crap look at that lineup. Talk about a whos who of SNL greats.
Al Franken as a Senator before he became a Senator
...SNL greats playing roles as known Senatorial sleazeballs; which is why I can't believe my party put Biden up for role as POTUS,
@@ObamaFromKenyaAnd if you also recall the hubbub caused by women accusing Forsaken Franken of sexual misdeeds, it was the start of the METOO MOVEMENT before the start of the #MeToo Campaigns.
Idk anyone🤷🏾 unkess that's chris farley
This might be hard to believe but at one time long long ago in a galaxy far far away... SNL was actually talently funny. If this skit aired today the cancel culture & media would have risen up in protest, even peacefully looting & rioting. This skit is funny as heck but also informative & educational, young adults don't know the true story of Biden and Hon. Judge Clarence Thomas. Sad🙏🏾🧔🏾🤦🏾♂️.
Satire only works when the real event is less absurd.
That can’t be true. Satire this year has been spot on.
@@konradhomiak3700 what? 😂😂😂
That's not how we're doing things now.
Joe Rogan's brother here
Yes
I love how all the senators feel the need to react and confer after every question is answered 😀
Dana Carvey is brilliant.. RIP to Phil Hartman and Chris Farley both brilliant and way to go Chris Rock with the cold opening line!!!
Ya see women like to phantasize with clothing from a different ERAH
SNL did a great job at matching the absurdity of the actual hearings.
Except Biden wasn't enough of a buffoon.
Imagine Dana carvey, Chris Rock and Chris Farley on stage at the same time.... When snl was legendary
Lol Dana Carvey as strom Thurmond is something that I did not expect
They didn't know how large they would become. At that time it was a Fun exciting Career in improv
2:18 Farley with the gestures haha he went all out everytime even as supporting role, rip
Biden's hair is a character of its own here
He's waited 30 years, Joe. He's coming for you.
I was thinking the same thing!
Did you know Justices Roberts, Kavanaugh, and Barrett were all, apparently, on Bush's legal team in Bush v. Gore, too? lmao. You can't make this crap up. I need to stock up on popcorn because it's going to be an entertaining and hilarious couple of months! 😁
@@ascensionblade Cope harder MAGAt. Trump has already dropped almost all of his legal challenges, and he will be hauled off to jail on Jan 20
@@jonalderson5571 lol, you exist
@@jonalderson5571 Going to jail for what? Provide some evidence please
Jon Alderson keep dreaming. Also the legal challenges are a distraction
The impression of Ted Kennedy was impeccable
2:21 "Were you uh"
Only 3 words out of Phil Hartman's mouth and I'm already laughing hysterically.
Loved Dana Carvey's grumpy old man voice in this sketch!
Wow. I don't remember SNL being this funny. The old SNL is funny.
Phil Hartman is in this skit. He gave the show heart
It's great because people always complain at the time that the cast is the worst ever, then after they are all gone and pursuing careers, people realize how genius it was in hindsight. I've watched this happen consistently. I think it either proves that people enjoy comedy from people they are familiar with or that SNL is ahead of its time. I think it's the former.
@@johnhinkleman9757 It seems like that even after death
It's more subtle for sure. It's not as in your face as New SNL. Not "as" in your face meaning I feel the cast had a wider range of comic styles and comedians. Though I agree with the point about people trashing whatever is on at the time sans a few comics. Back in the 90s people said it wasn't as good as the 70s and 80s. Now it's considered the best era or one of the best. In the future the current SNL will have it's fans and those who trash whatever is out at the time. Thus the cycle continues.
I get the distinct impression you are laughing at the wrong things.
This actually ages well for 2020. LOL
A bit more gratuitous sexual humour than we're used to these days...
They aren't allowed to be this funny anymore.
Dana Carvey’s impersonation of Sen. Storm Thurmond was spot on! Hilarious!
How these guys can keep a straight face is amazing. Brilliant acting
Well done by all involved… Crazy how accurate it is, RIP to the legends who are no longer with us!
I died at Chris Farley and Dana's impression
If you are old enough to actually remember senators Howell Heflin and Strom Thurmond you would know how pretty much spot on these impersonations were! So it makes them all the funnier! LOL!
I remember Sen. Heflin, it was spot on!
Two of the best ever
@@4primus Cool! I remember both of them! LOL 😁
This has so many great actors/comedians you just couldn't go wrong with this sketch!
Kennedy referencing “the implication”...not surprising!
RIP Phil Hartman...if there's a time that we coulda needed you - it is definitely tonight :( RIP
A more accurate title would be "The Clarence Thomas Hearings" but this is still a classic sketch nonetheless. I especially luv Dana's take on Strom Thurmond. Funny as hell.
Kevin Nealon should have still played Joe Biden.
(Edit) For all of the people who thought I didn’t like Jim Carrey, you were wrong. I love Jim Carey’s Joe Biden Impression! I just thought it would be interesting to see how Kevin Nealon would do him now that he’s older.
Way better than Jim Carrey, that’s for sure!
This has nothing to do with Kevin Nealon, because I love the guy, but there wasn't anything to this impression besides a hairpiece. Seems pretty apparent people are just mad at Carrey for not playing Biden in a straight, mundane way that can't be mocked. Notable salt. I mean jesus, people said Trump supporters were whiny about Baldwin's impression. The hypocrisy is ridiculous. Now they're doing the exact same thing but way worse.
but who would pick up his shift at souplantation?
I think Carey does A GREAT JOB! -playing today’s Joe Biden .
Nah JC is great
Look how many comedic killers are in this skit!
Dana Carvey, Chris Rock, Al Franken, Kevin Nealon, Chris Farley, Phil Hartman, Tim Meadows...
It's almost like "How could it not kill?"
Kevin Nealon’s patchy haired Biden though😂awesomeness!
Hahaha wow I didn't know that wasn't the real Biden.
@@itisij-lalanne2467 Shady 😎
At 4:30 Ted Kennedy brings up “The Implication. “. And after Al Franken plays a creepy Senator.
Dennis Reynolds and the implication.
That was the late great Phil Hartman. RIP
Haha senator Kennedy using Dennis Reynolds' boat implication!
What a great cast__Farley, Hartman, and Carvey
And Meadows
Senator Kennedy knows about the implication…
Not that things are gonna go wrong for her but she's thinking that they will.
His line about the boat calls back to the Mary Jo Kopeckne affair!
This is amazing! Oh how I long for these days. Never missed an episode.
such a legendary cast, this was SNL in its better days for sure
At the time people said it was horrible and the older cast was better. This cycle is ongoing for SNL. People hate the present cast while loving the old cast but eventually everyone will appreciate the current staff.
@@tadpole8677 So true...also, the music from your high school days was real music, not the crap they make now.
Truth. I think even a bit better than the original Belushi, Akroyd, Radner, Chase, Curtin, Newman, and Morris cast. The Hartman, Farley, Nealon, Carvey, Meyers, Spade, Sandlerr, Norm McDonald era was THE best cast ever.
@@tadpole8677 It's called a downward trend...
@@tadpole8677 many people are primed to hate the new thing versus the older thing. It's pathetic
“Dat’s a good movie, Jurdge!”
Phil's Ted Kennedy was dead on flawless
2:34. You NEVER see the background actors break. Leave it to Phil Hartman
I always do. Just pay more attention.
4:29 “She’s not gonna say no. She would never say no because of the implication.” - Dennis Reynolds
“Another good thing is to get them out on your boat for some reason, because then it’s really hard for them to get away” because of the implication

Trumptards trying to be cute.
This was one of the best SNL skits of all time! Too many perfect things in one skit, particularly the cast!
Phil Hartman was a comic genius
Oh my, when I need a good laugh for the day, I watch this! Thanks.
Farley has me laughing so hard I'm crying.
Imagine THAT!! Making fun of EVERYONE without biased virtue signaling.
@@surgedeb only biased f×cktarded sheep can't see it. Was an awesome time- long before participation trophies and safe spaces....

@@surgedeb Wow, talk about butt hurt snowflakes and they appear. Little K J sounds like he's nursing a real painful case with that sad post of his above. LOL Trumpets are the sorriest excuses for human beings that were ever inflicted on the rest of the country. They 're just as thin skinned, just as angry and just as pathetic as their dear leader.
@@learntospellpeople IDK but you don't sound any less angry.
Yea, it was better at that back then. It’s hot garbage now...there’s so much to make fun of but they don’t dare go after democrats now. It’s a shame really
Farley as Heflin RULES
Forgot to mention how much Strom Thurmond was into black women.
Oh wait, they wouldn’t know that until 2003!
Anyone who’s ever been into a black woman knows why...
Strom gets a bad rap he renounced Racism in the 60’s and spent the next 35 years helping the black community
@@alcarbo8613 WELL, HE helped his Black biological daughter; his first child who LOOKED JUST LIKE HIM!!! SAD, just like T. Jefferson n countless others of which any of those men could have changed the world by maki ng it equitable!!?
@@bonitahobbs2097 No he couldn’t have if Tomas Jefferson attempted to ban Slavery on a national level the young U.S would have plunged into a Civil War which would have probably lead to British occupation,
And for any Compensation Tomas Jefferson freed numerous slaves trough out his life and he freed all of them upon his death he’s favorite Pastor was even a Black Man
And Fun Fact the First Legal Slave owner in the U.S was a Black Man named Antony Johnson if you don’t believe me look it up.
Ohhhh, how we miss Phil Hartman
Such a classic skit. Everyone was terrific.
Oh the irony, just imagine if the 2020 election results come down to Justice Thomas' decision.
It probably will, we’ve got Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, Barret, maybe Roberts, but definitely Thomas.
Unlikely to go to the supreme court. And if SCOTUS won't even strike down Obamacare, I doubt they would override the results of several states and cancel tens of thousands of votes to give the presidency to the one who lost.
I’m sure Justice Clarence forgot all about the hell, torture & embarrassment for not only himself but also his family that he was put thru for Joe’s entertainment. Back then Clarence became the first African American to be hand picked to be a justice for the Supreme Court making history & there’s no way joe was unfair let alone any type of biased feelings or behavior
@@elizabethd112 Well, the "tens of thousand votes" that will be canceled are the illegal ones and the votes that came from dead people.
@@Eza_yuta so hundreds of thousands of dead people voted in those disputed states? 😂
I had to wipe my eyes so I could type lol. I was laughing hard, loudly, when Chris Farley’s mouth movement at 3:30 got me laughing silently, unable to expand my diaphragm.
Ted Kennedy with the "implication" strategy
This was when SNL was at its best. 1990 thru 1992 had the most talented cast and best writers ever. The cast back then went on to generate 10s of BILLIONS of movie recipes. I checked.
“…movie recipes”? Was SNL a cooking show at an earlier date?
CLARENCE THOMAS HAS A CHANCE FOR RETRIBUTION FOR THE HELL HE PUT HIM THROUGH IN THAT HEARING.
Biden was way harder on Anita Hill, if you remember correctly.
@@jannahc8339 even being part of the commitee to attack this man is racist and disgraceful
I think attacking Anita Hill was far more racist and disgraceful.
the evidence strongly indicates that Clarence Thomas sexually harassed Anita Hill in a pretty disgusting and dishonorable way. Biden essentially treated Hill like a lying POS which TOTALLY helped Thomas get confirmed.
I'm no fan of Biden, I think the way he treated Hill is inexcusable. I think his work on the 3 strikes crime bill is abhorrent. Biden has done real harm to black Americans.
Trump is trying to start a race war and destroy democracy. He uses the N word and thinks black folks are unintelligent and criminally minded.
Biden is not my choice either, but at least he can muster some sympathy for families of deceaced vets, children who have lived through mass shootings, parents of children who didnt live, and isn't a shameless crybaby bitch who whines about everything, and cares more for his "ratings" than a pandemic thats killing hundreds of thousands of Americans, like Trump.
And fuck Clarence Thomas. He's a nasty ass misogynist and an all around POS.
@@jannahc8339 RIght...even the worst accusation against Thomas didnt even involve anything physical...nor did any other staffer attest to this behavior. Plus he never had another accusation of that nature before or since. Open your mind and your heart because ur coming off as RACIST.
@@jannahc8339 Do you even know anything about the crime bill? The crime bill was a massively positive thing. It contained the violence against women act, assault weapons ban, created registries for sex offenders, etc. Crime was a massive problem in the 90s and something had to be done. Crime has been going down ever since. I care infinitely more about people affected crime, then I do about criminal thugs and gangsters who get thrown in jail where they belong. Three strikes is abhorrent? How about one strike? That's what it ought to be. If black people don't want to be mass incarcerated, they should stop committing crimes. And it doesn't matter, because the crime bill isn't what led to mass incarceration anyway, and even if it did, it doesn't matter either because mass incarceration is a justified if there's a high crime rate.
Also you aren't winning any republicans over by saying "Biden is racist but Trump is worse". They hear your stupid talking points, plagiarize them, and then confirm in their heads "yup, democrats are the real racists hur dur, need to get off that plantation". That's what Trump did in the debates, and that's part of the reason why he almost won.
Getting them out on the boat.....because of the implication.

4:31 just like the implication from it’s always sunny in Philadelphia
If you don't know those Senators--those parodies by Farley, Carvey, and Frankin were spot on. Of course Hartman was fantastic.
Best SNL Political Skit of ALL TIME! Thanks for upload!
SNL is a national comedy archive. Love this skit.
Back when ppl watched snl for the cast an not the host.
Can we talk about Biden's hair though?
Biden got his hair transplants before they went hi-tech... which is why his hair looks like that on a doll's head. Same with Strom Thurmond, btw.
I think it's pretty close to perfect
Didn’t change a single bit
Ken McBride 👉👈
Joan of Fucking Arc what didn’t?? Biden’s hair???? Uhhh yeah it did. This was BP (before plugs). Now he had a new hair transplant
Some of these guys had more talent in the tip of their noses than the last 25 years of SNL combined.
Cannot WAITTTTTTTTT UNTIL SNL DOES KETANJI'S ORDEAL!
This was the SNL of my youth and still, the best overall cast
The first generation was and always be the best.
Chris Farley is comedy gold. Every single time.
One of the best of the best....what a cast!
4:30 because of the implications
Beat me to it
Damn you hahaha
Can someone explain this to me?
We love you Chris Farley! RIP 💜
The actor even looks like Hunter lol
Dana Carvey as Strom Thurmond 😂
Chris Farley was so silly. His facial expressions, and what he does with his hand at 2:19. 😂😂😂😂😂
Back when SNL sketches were actually funny and they didn’t have to rely on Bill Burr to come on and do a monologue to get real laughs. What a time.
@Akil Harvey Oh please, they've been taking sides since day one
How true. I love sketch comedy but SNL has been horrible for years now
@@lucacundo It’s a show that’s now made exclusively for coastal liberals, which means it’s not funny. If they step out of line they get cancelled, so they can’t be irreverent or scathing and it’s never been less culturally relevant as a result. Honestly, it’s sad.
@@mohnjayer its so sad. SNL used to be edgy now its shits. And all politically correct and biased. The majority of the world just gets to offended. Cancel culture is real. The last 4 years SNL only talked about Trump being horrible. Im all for poking fun at politicians but all politicians. Theyre all liars and crooks. SNL is on the liberal payroll
@@mohnjayer You sound... touched. As then, with so much material, why wouldn't they take advantage, now? 😷😂
this is so classic, Biden's hair. Tim Meadows is perfect.
As a kid, I remember the "pubic hair on a Coke can" and "long dong silver" joke, but never knew what they meant lol Thanks to youtube....I do now 😂
I’ve been looking for this classic for years.
It would be cool to see Kevin Nealon doing Biden in 2020. It’s pretty underrated how identical he looks to Biden here at that time. The audience even reacted to it
The only problem is it's easy to pull off young Joe Biden it's hard to pull off old Joe Biden.
If the election goes to SCOTUS, will SNL make fun of Biden & Harris getting thrashed????????
It’s not gonna happen. But yeah. Probably.
They would make fun of how corrupt that would be. But tough chance, if they won't even get rid of Obamacare what makes you think they will gift a presidency to the one who lost?
@@elizabethd112 Pennsylvania actually went to the supreme court for breaking there own laws. The dude won that case.
@@theguitarhero7454 their*
what case?
@@elizabethd112 The case about Pennsylvania accepting late votes. According to Pennsylvania's own laws, Pennsylvania code clearly mandates that “ a completed mail-in ballot must be received in the office of the county board of elections no later than eight o'clock P.M. on the day of the primary or election. ” with the only two exceptions being under 25 Pa.C.S. § 3511 which states
(a) Delivery governs.--A valid military-overseas ballot cast under section 3509 (relating to timely casting of ballot) shall be counted if it is delivered by 5 p.m. on the seventh day following the election to the address that the appropriate county election board has specified.
(b) Rule regarding postmarks.--If, at the time of completing a military-overseas ballot and balloting materials, the voter has declared under penalty of perjury that the ballot was timely submitted, the ballot may not be rejected on the basis that it has a late postmark, an unreadable postmark or no postmark.
So in receiving ballots three days after the election that failed to meet these requirements, it is an illegal process in that state, and they violated their own state laws to do so.
Top notch talent cast and subject…
Best cast IMHO.
Rest In Peace Chris Farley and Phil Hartman..
A few pieces of my heart died when Phil and Chris died.
And here we are again.....
Anything with Hartman and Farley was awesome Rip
the guy behind farley has the best unibrow i have ever seen.
Its nice seeing Al Franken as Senator
“That’s a GOOD MOVIE!!! “

Fantastic cold open. Better than a lot of the new ones.

Correct!
He will be your president
@527 Jetra The country he’s been running into the ground for the past 4 years?
@527 Jetra Yes, Joe Biden is just too old at 77 to be president because Trump is a young, spry 74, he's barely out of high school, he's so young!
