Saturday Night News With Christopher Guest

Nathan Thurm (Martin Short) is back to defend his client Living Unicorn Inc. in another reference to the Ringling Bros. controversy involving a surgically altered goat; I thought this appearance was the strongest of the character’s Saturday Night News appearances, with him comparing the “unicorn” to a spayed cat, saying the ASPCA should condemn Guest “for being so uninteresting facially”, and Guest getting defensive and letting out a Thurm-style “I know that!”. Dwight McNamara (Gary Kroeger) is back to explain why a dirty slide of Ed Koch looks the way it does; it’s pretty much the same bit as before, despite Kroeger’s impressive “projector” voice. I did laugh at him doing the film flapping sounds at the end, though. Robert Latta (Rich Hall) returns for the first time since the writer’s strike to applause from the audience when he wanders in; after using a dustbuster to clean crumbs from his crackers, he tells Guest he was down in Florida to watch the baseball exhibition games, and shows the season’s first cards (all doctored to show Latta wandering into frame). Pretty much the same bit as always, but it was harmless enough. Final SNL appearances of Martin Short as a cast member and Christopher Guest as both a cast member and Saturday Night News anchor.
