The Killer Bees


The Killer Bees were the first characters to recur on SNL. According to a Lorne Michaels interview for the book Live From New York, "The only note we got from the network on the first show was 'Cut the bees.' And so I made sure I put them in the next show." The bees were played by all the repertory players at the time, who wore yellow and black horizontal stripes, wings, and overly springy antennae. Much of the humour from these scenes came out of puns or metaphors that had to do with well-known activities and body parts of bees.

The Land Shark

The Land Shark was the only recurring character Chevy Chase created during his relatively short stay on SNL, although he often played the character when he would come back to host and portrayed Gerald R. Ford in a number of shows. Initially the Land Shark was created as a Jaws parody, but eventually fell into a more predictable pattern. The shark would always prey on vulnerable women and the sketches began with a knock at the door from a stranger. The person inside would ask who it was, hesitant to answer the door for just anybody. The still unseen shark would usually begin by guessing the woman's name. When that didn't work he would try a number of strategies like telling her he was delivering a parcel or a candy-gram. Eventually he would come up with something that would convince the person on the other side of the door to let him in, only to find that it had been a shark all along. By that time it would be too late, and the unsuspecting individual would be swallowed. Chevy Chase Chevy Chase (born Cornelius Crane Chase on October 8, 1943 in Woodstock, New York) is an American comedian, writer and television and film actor. ... Gerald Rudolph Ford, Jr. ...

I Married A Monkey

The I Married A Monkey sketches were created by Tim Kazurinsky to remind the viewing public that the show was indeed live. He essentially played himself, working with the premise that he had married a chimpanzee named Madge in a bizarre soap opera world. There was a real chimp onstage, and some sketches featured their "children" played by baby chimps. Tim Kazurinsky (born March 3, 1950 in Johnstown, Pennsylvania) is a comedian best known for performances on the NBC show Saturday Night Live. ... Type Species Simia troglodytes Blumenbach, 1775 Species Pan troglodytes Pan paniscus Chimpanzee, often shortened to chimp, is the common name for the two species in the genus Pan. ...


Kazurinsky felt that the show had become too polished, and felt that the idea would offer some unpredictability. He explained in Live From New York, "I did it because I knew something would screw up and people would see that it was live. People would ask me 'When do you tape the show?' No, it's called Saturday Night Live. It's live." He eventually decided to put a stop to the sketches when he realized the dangers chimpanzees posed when they got agitated.

Toonces was the family pet of Lyle (Steve Martin in the first sketch, thereafter by Dana Carvey) and Brenda Clark (Victoria Jackson).

Goat Boy

Goat Boy was played by Jim Breuer and he most memorably hosted the fake MTV show, "Hey! Remember the 80's". At the outset, Goat Boy was a typical veejay/talk show host who would announce 80s video clips and introduce guests from the era. Contrarily, when his goat instincts kicked in, he would start braying and kicking, and would have to be subdued by scientists standing by with electric prods.

Dog Show

Dog Show was an aptly titled parody of an Animal Planet show featuring people who are more than enamored of their dogs. It was hosted by Miss Colleen (Molly Shannon) and Mr. David Larry (Will Ferrell), a bizarre couple who were supposed to be married even though he was a homosexual ("Separate bedrooms, separate baths"). The two admit that they "don't like most people" but are extremely fond of dogs. Animal Planet, launched in 1996, is a cable television network, owned by Discovery, dedicated to programming that highlights the relationship between animal and man. ...

The sketch would open with David Larry banging on a snare drum, followed by the two hosts shouting "DOG SHOW!" The hosts would then introduce their dogs, "Mr. Rocky Balboa" and "Mr. Bojangles", (who was actually a female, but was given the title "Mr.", because as David Larry would point out, he is "playing a trick on her"), a pair of miniature dogs who were displayed dressed in costumes. Often times the hosts would have their dogs participate in things such as seances and weddings. The snare drum or side drum is a tubular drum made of wood or metal with skins, or heads, stretched over the top and bottom openings. ...

Each sketch would introduce a guest to the "show". In the first sketch, the guest was played by Vince Vaughn who brought along his dog, Nacho. At one point Mr. David Larry tells him "Quick, sing a song about Nacho that you made up!" Vaughn immediately sings: Vincent Anthony Vaughn (born March 28, 1970), is an American film actor. ...

"Nacho, your head is full of dreams.
Nacho, I like it when you smile and show your pointy teeth.
Nacho, Nacho...I like to hold your little body and hear your heart go beat, beat, beat...
HEY NACHO, GO TO SLEEP!"

The sketch was popular due to the dogs misbehaving, and Shannon and Ferrell frequently breaking character by laughing.
