A NEW LOUNGE FEATURE: Forgotten but beloved SNL stars!

[youspeakmylanguage]

Issue #1: Darrell Hammond!



It's time to celebrate his work, people. Release the funny quotes!

[Richardo]

1. "Lock box"

Best. Gore. Ever.

[youspeakmylanguage]

3. Best Clinton ever, too!

"Teresa Heinz, there is about 57 varieties of things I'd like to do with you. And I will do them with relish."

[Richardo]

5. I'll go with that.

He's uber-talented.

[derby378]

2. And a damn good Chris Matthews, too

"Yeah...yeah...yeah...you're done!"

[RandomKoolzip]

4. Darrel Hammond's a big Bush booster.

So fuck 'im.

[Richardo]

6. Then the joke's on him.

He's still funny.

[youspeakmylanguage]

8. EDIT: A statement from Mr. Hammond...

As for his own politics, Hammond said he's on "both sides of the aisle."

He sounds like a moderate to me.

7. Darrell Hammond is forgotten?

I wouldn't consider him a forgotten star.

Though I loved Phil Hartman, NO ONE has ever done a better Bill Clinton than Hammond.

[youspeakmylanguage]

11. Forgotten as in not a huge star, or...

...you could call them non-"A list" SNL alums.

[Left Is Write]

12. Well, you see...I didn't know he wasn't on the A-list.

[youspeakmylanguage]

18. OK, how about the SNL alums who haven't starred in a #1 movie...

...in the last 5 or so years?

I didn't realize I'd have to get this specific with "forgotten". It was probably the wrong word to use anyway.

[Left Is Write]

23. Don't be touchy.

I'm not asking you to be specific - I simply really, truly, honestly had no idea anyone would consider Darrell Hammond a forgotten SNL star.

If you're talking about having recently been in a hit movie, that would include most of the SNL alums.

17. Phil Hartman as Barbara Bush was HYSTERICAL

And don't forget Phil as the Chairman of the Board of the most in depth political analysis show ever - - the Sinatra group!

"Ya lost me dere, cue ball." ROTFLMTO

[Left Is Write]

21. Yes! I loved the sketch where Barbara was tr ying to get Nancy Reagan out.

And no one can touch Hartman's Sinatra. I can't stand watching old clips of Joe Piscopo doing Sinatra because Phil Hartman was so much better.

[Rambis]

22. You want a piece of me!

I got chunks of guys like you in my stool!

[Shell Beau]

9. There are so many....

Mike Myers, Dana Carvey, Adam Sandler, Phil Hartman, Chris Farley, David Spade, Kevin Nealon, Eddie Murphy, Belushi, Gilda Radner, Bill Murray, and so on and so on.

[youspeakmylanguage]

14. Right, but I was thinking of the less famous among that list...

...such as Kevin Nealon. Dana Carvey could probably qualify now, too.

[Shell Beau]

15. Oh! Well Dana Carvey was hilarious as

The Church Lady and so many others. I loved him. I also loved his "Chopping Broccoli" song.

[Left Is Write]

10. As for a funny quote: "Not a fan of the ladies, are you, Trebek?"

13. January 19, 2005:

Also performing were "Saturday Night Live's" Darrell Hammond, who took advantage of his position on stage to issue a personal plea.

"Not many Americans get a chance like this, so I'm just going to go for it," he said, directing his gaze to the president.

"Mr. President, isn't there anything you could do about Brad and Jennifer?" -- referring to the recent split of Hollywood couple Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston. The impersonator then offered his rendition of former President Clinton singing the Billy Ray Cyrus song, "My Achy Breaky Heart."

Hammond also offered his take on what would happen if real estate mogul and host of "The Apprentice" Donald Trump were to switch positions with Donald Rumsfeld. "We're gonna turn the Iraqi election into a big pageant," said Hammond as The Donald playing Rumsfeld. "It'll be huge, as big as my hair."

16. He was there to perform for the troops, not kiss W's ass. (n/t)

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

19. I know, and I posted that without comment...

Did I say anything in my post about his being there to kiss W's ass?

[youspeakmylanguage]

20. Did I say I was responding to something you said?...

...I was responding to the quote in the context of an earlier post, accusing him of being a Bush supporter.
