SNL Newsbreak with Brian Doyle-Murray

They still do the letters falling routine yet again, but Doyle-Murray changes it up a little by putting a hard hat on as they drop, only for a few more to fall after he takes it off. I admit I could see the Oil of Olay punchline coming from a mile away, but I still laughed. Christine Ebersole's Princess Di bit was silly; the best line was where she pinpoints the exact time of conception. Like a lot of Piscopo's impressions, Ted Koppel has been done better by later cast members, but this was one of the funnier news pieces of the entire season, particularly Begin (Tim Kazurinsky) and Arafat's (Tony Rosato) argument degenerating into childish insults ("You look like Ringo Starr!" "You look like Phil Silvers!") and Koppel's mass of hair weighing down his body to the point where he tips over. Eddie Murphy's "animals landing on their feet" experiment commentary was one of his weaker bits, but I did enjoy him describing the parrot angrily insulting him as he plummeted from the balcony, and him inviting Doyle-Murray and telling him to bring the kids. I just realized this is the fifth Newsbreak in a row with Murphy.
