Saturday Night News with Brad Hall

An item on the current Miss America 's cosmetic surgery leads to a photo bit showing "before surgery" pictures of various celebrities. This was helped by some good choices for the "before" shots (Barbara Streisand's before: David Brenner; David Letterman's before: Alfred E. Neuman). I especially liked Jimmy Carter's "before" being Louise Lasser as Mary Hartman. Andy Rooney's commentary on the Middle East was the usual Piscopo impression that was on the show the previous season, although I thought this one aged especially poorly, with some lines that come across as particularly insulting and borderline racist (calling them sloppy dressers, saying the houses look like they were built by Fred Flintstone). The line about Yasser Arafat wearing a tablecloth from Pizza Hut was a variation on an old joke but I did like the line "He should either buy a better headpiece, or eat at better restaurants", which seemed to be the closest approximation of Rooney's "voice" in Piscopo's impression.
