Don’t Get Me Wrong
Kevin…..Kevin Nealon
Glen…..Dana Carvey
Kurt…..Jeff Daniels
[ open at a country club golf course ]
Kevin: You know what it is, Glen? Howard just doesn’t care. All he cares about is what he can get out of the deal, he doesn’t care who’s inconvenienced.
Glen: Well, it’s just, you know, he’s going through that tough divorce..
Kevin: Oh, I know, I know, believe me.. but you know, you’d think the guy would have a little consideration. I mean, don’t get me wrong – I like Howard, he’s a dear friend of mine, I’d do anything for him. It’s just that.. you know.
Glen: I know.
Kevin: So.. you going to the lake this week?
Glen: No. Hank screwed up the boat. He’s such a jerk. I specifically told him not to use it, so of course he does, and he runs into a sandbar. He has no respect for my stuff. You know what? I don’t respect him.
Kevin: Really?
Glen: Oh, absolutely. I mean, don’t get me wrong – I love the guy, I’d give him the shirt off my back, there’s nothing I wouldn’t do for him. It’s just that.. you know..
Kevin: Oh, I know. I know what you’re saying. He’s a great guy, but..
Kurt: [ enters with his clubs ] Hey, guys. How’s our tee-off? Are they backed up?
Glen: Yeah, about a half-hour. Crimmons doesn’t move ’em along fast enough.
Kurt: You know, what the hell is wrong with him? You know, the guy never does his job! He’s useless, you know? God, he never did do his job! The guy’s more senile than a.. I don’t know what..
Kevin: Come on.. come on, Kurt, he’s doing his best.
Kurt: Hey, if that’s his best, I’d hate to see his worst, you know? I mean, don’t get me wrong, you know – he’s a wonderful man, I love him like a father, I’d take a bullet in the heart for the guy. It’s just.. you know..
Kevin: No, no, I understand.
Kurt: Where’s Randy? I thought he was joining us today.
Glen: Yeah, that’s what we thought, too.
Kevin: Yeah, but when does Randy ever get the word? The guy doesn’t have an ounce of integrity in his body. Just for the record, I didn’t invite him here today. I wouldn’t give him the right time of day!
Kurt: Wait a minute.. I thought you and Randy were, like, really good friends..?
Kevin: No, no, trust me.. the guy is swine! I mean, don’t get me wrong, you know – I love Randy, he’s like a brother to me, I worship the ground he walks on, I’d throw my body in the mud to keep his shoes clean. You know.. it’s just that, you know..
Glen: Oh, no, no, I understand.. Yeah, but if we don’t tee off soon, I’m only gonna be able to go 9.
Kevin: Really? Why?
Glen: I gotta meet with that new contractor.
Kevin: Whoa, whoa.. what happened to Nick?
Glen: Oh, you mean Nick the Thief, Nick the Liar? That sonofabitch overbilled me twenty grand! I should kick his ass! He’s a real backstabber, let me tell you.
Kurt: I thought you were happy with him?
Glen: He’s scum! He is scum! I mean.. don’t get me wrong, you know – there’s no one I care more about on the planet than Nick. You know, if he were dirty I’d lick him clean with my tongue and then apologize for not having a towel to dry him with. It’s just that.. you know..
Kevin: Oh, no, no.. absolutely.. I understand, I understand.. [ turns head ] Kurt. Poker tomorrow night at Roy’s, if you’re interested.
Kurt: Can’t make it.
Glen: Not crazy about Roy?
Kurt: Oh, no, no! I like Roy. I like Roy. He’s a sonofabitch, but I like him, you know? No, it’s not Roy, it’s my brother-in-law, I gotta help him move.
Kevin: Too bad..
Kurt: Yeahhh, that pain in the ass has been sleeping on our couch for the last week, you know? He’s nothing! The guy’s nothing more than a free-loading, leech-sucking loser. I mean, don’t get me wrong – I idolize Charlie, I’d hold him to my breast and suckle him like a newborn calf! You know, I’d massage the guy in oil for two hours, and then let him lather me up and then ride me like a big boy! It’s just.. you know. You know what I’m saying!
Glen: No, no, I don’t..
Kevin: I don’t think we know what you’re talking about here. What are you talking about – “Ride me like a big boy”? I mean, what are you, some kind of pervert?
Glen: Yeah, I don’t get it..
Kurt: No. Guys, I’m talking figuratively here.
Kevin: I’m serious, Kurt, maybe you ought to leave, we’re not enjoying your company..
Glen: Yeah, gut out of here, you freak! What is that?!
Kurt: [ gets up ] Come on, guys, I’m just trying to make a point!
Kevin: We get your point.
Glen: “Ride me like a big boy”!
Kurt: Fine! Suit yourself! [ leaves ]
Glen: Man, has he changed, or what?
Kevin: He’s definitely changed.. I always thought he had a probblem, I saw it all along..
Glen: He’s a freak! He gives me the willies.
Kevin: He’s just dirty! [ shivers ] I mean, don’t get me wrong – I like Kurt, I’d give him a sponge bath and rock him to sleep, if I had to.
Glen: Oh, yeah, right. I’d dress up like a woman and talk dirty to him, if he wanted me to.
Kevin: Yeah, I’d shave my legs and wear pumps and squeal, if the guy wanted me to..
Glen: Oh, yeah, me too! Me, too!
Kevin: Absolutely! No, no, I understand!
[ their course number is called ]
Glen: Oh, great, that’s us. Finally. [ they walk over to the cart ] Oh! Here comes Lenny.
Kevin: Please. I’m not talking to Lenny.
[ they drive their cart offscreen, as the sketch fades out ]

Apex Novelty Company
Mr. Clark…..Phil Hartman
Mr. Jensen…..Jeff Daniels
[ open on exterior, Apex Novelty Company ]
[ dissolve to interior, Boss’ Office ]
Mr. Jensen: [ enters ] You wanted to see me, Mr. Clark?
Mr. Clark: Yes, Tom. Please sit down. [ Mr. Jensen sits ] How long have you been working in the Design Department.
Mr. Jensen: About a month, sir.
Mr. Clark: Well, then maybe you don’t know that we generally like to stick to the tried and the true when it comes to novelty items. For instance.. [ opens desk drawer, pulls out larger-than-life fake vomit ] ..did you design this fake rubber vomit?
Mr. Jensen: Yes, sir.
Mr. Clark: Well.. first of all, why did you make it so big? I mean, someone wouldn’t vomit this much vomit, would they?
Mr. Jensen: I-I-I guess I just thought.. more vomit would be funnier! [ laughs ]
Mr. Clark: And why did you put this whole sandwich in it?
Mr. Jensen: As a joke. It is a joke thing, right?
Mr. Clark: Yeah, but.. well, let’s move on, uh.. maybe you can tell me what this is. [ walks over to file cabinet, picks up rubber log and places it over his head ]
Mr. Jensen: Oh.. that’s the Fake Log Through the Head.
Mr. Clark: Well.. I’m familiar with the Arrow Through the Head.. but.. but a log? How would.. how would you even get a log through the head?
Mr. Jensen: Well, uh.. say you were out chopping some firewood, and, uh.. after you chopped a piece, you were throwing it on this big pile.. and, just then, a guy walked by, and it hit him on the head. [ laughs ] That actually happened to me.. that’s where I got it..
Mr. Clark: Yeah, but it wouldn’t go through your head, would it?
Mr. Jensen: No.. but that’s why it’s funny! [ laughs ]
Mr. Clark: [ removes log from his head, sits back down ] Finally.. I was curious about this.. fake ice cube you designed. Instead of having a fly in it, it has a little tiny shrunken head. I guess I’m at loss to understand, first of all, how a head could get this small.. and then, somehow get into an ice cube? I..
Mr. Jensen: Well.. to be honest with you, Mr. Clark.. I really don’t know.. I guess I just thought it would be scarier than a fly!
Mr. Clark: [ pause ] Tom, I’m sorry, but I’m afraid we’re going to have to let you go. It’s not quite working out.
Mr. Jensen: Okay. I understand, Mr. Clark. [ pulls cigar out of his jacket ] Could I, uh.. could I give you this cigar?
Mr. Clark: Well, thanks, Tom. That’s very nice of you.
Mr. Jensen: Uh, here.. let me light it for you. [ pulls out lighter, flicks it on, then extends his hand offscreen to Mr. Clark’s mouth ]
[ an explosion sounds – cut to close-up of Mr. Clark, smoke rising over him, a skeleton head now perched atop his body ]
Mr. Clark: Sooooo.. an extra powerful exploding cigar! I like it! No, I love it! Jenson, you’re back on the payroll!
Mr. Jensen: [ elated ] Thanks, Mr. Clark! But I don’t want to be paid in joke money!
[ the both laugh uproariously as the scene fades out ]
Jeff Daniels’ Monologue
…..Jeff Daniels
…..Lorne Michaels
…..Dana Carvey
[ open on audience applauding wildly for Jeff Daniels ]
[ Jeff stares out into the audience, as though confused, then walks determinedly backstage, his face gripped in fear ]
Jeff Daniels: Lorne? Lorne!
Lorne Michaels: [ moves forward ] Jeff. What happened?
Jeff Daniels: I don’t know, I don’t know.. I cane out the door, I looked at the audience, I was trying to relate to the audience, and I didn’t know what to do.
Lorne Michaels: You know, it was over so fast, I don’t think anyone noticed.
Jeff Daniels: No, no, no.. I just.. I choked, you know? All the other hosts, they come out, they’re confident, you know, they’ve got that skip in their walk, and.. they’re into the music, they relate to the audience, you know? They’ve got that kind of genuine thing that you can’t rehearse, you know?
Lorne Michaels: You’re.. you’re joking, right?
Jeff Daniels: No!
Lorne Michaels: [ turns his head ] Dana, come over here. [ Dana Carvey enters ] Jeff’s having trouble with the monologue.
Dana Carvey: What?
Jeff Daniels: Yeah..
Lorne Michaels: Why don’t you just walk him through it?
Dana Carvey: Oh, I can’t believe.. they, they didn’t show you this?
Jeff Daniels: No one told me.
Dana Carvey: It’s really easy! It’s basically eight moves for the host. Pardo says your name: [ in Don Pardo voice ] “Ladies and gentlemen, Jeff Daniels!” [ demonstrates each move as he introduces them ] You open the door, you lead off to the right, then you do kind of a Cool Run, you go by the band..
Jeff Daniels: Cool run.
Dana Carvey: Then, Celebrity Skip!
Jeff Daniels: Celebrity Skip.
Dana Carvey: That’s right! Now, turn to the band, do a Pigeon Neck. Pigeon Neck.

Jeff Daniels: Here Comes The Plane.. Here Comes The Plane..
Dana Carvey: Yeah! Yeah! Now, you come back: Trained Seal! Trained Seal!
Jeff Daniels: Trained Seal! Trained Seal!
Dana Carvey: Love you people! Trained Seal! Now, this is optional. A lot of hosts like to go: Open The Fridge, right at the end.
Jeff Daniels: Open The Fridge.
Dana Carvey: That’s right! Okay, you got it. Then you’re free to do whatever you want.
Jeff Daniels: Anything I want? Anything?
Dana Carvey: Yeah!
Jeff Daniels: Can I Arsenio? [ whoops his arm ]
Dana Carvey: [ looks at Lorne, who’s shaking his head ] N-no..
Jeff Daniels: Okay. Okay.. so it’s a Cool Run, it’s a Celebrity Skip, it’s the Pigeon Neck, it’s There You Are, it’s Falling Star, it’s, uh.. uh.. uh.. Bring In The Plane, it’s Trained Seals, and then it’s Open The Fridge.
Dana Carvey: That’s it! Go get ’em!
Jeff Daniels: Okay. Alright. Lorne? Let me just try it again, okay?
Lorne Michaels: Okay. Uh, Jeff.. if you want, you can go.. [ spins finger in the air ] “Whoo-Woo!”
Jeff Daniels: “Whoo-Woo”? Okay. Thanks. [ runs back past Home Base to try again ]
[ end of opening montage plays ]
Don Pardo V/O: Ladies and gentlemen.. Jeff Daniels!
Jeff Daniels: [ opens door, does Cool Run, Celebrity Skip, Pigeon Neck, Trained Seal, more Pigeon Neck, There You Are and Falling Star. Then, he adds his own touch, a Moonwalk-style move. ] Whoo-woo! Thank you, thank you, thank you very much! That was a piece of cake! We have a great show tonight – Color Me Badd is here! [ does the There You Are some more ] There You Are! There You Are!

[ dissolve to the mothers walking through the cornstalks in the backyard ]

Weekend Update with Kevin Nealon
…..Kevin Nealon
…..Jesse Jackson
Kevin Nealon: Morning!
On Friday, an evenly divided Senate Judiciary Committee refused to recommend the confirmation of Judge Clarence Thomas to the U.S. Supreme Court. Earlier in those hearings, Judge Thomas requested a restraining order against the People For The American Way. He later withdrew this request when it was explained they were trying to “Bork” him, not “pork” him.
Vice-President Dan Quayle says the solution to the food distribution problem in the Soviet Union lies in neighboring China. He suggests the Soviets simply call Chinese restaurants for take-out, and have the food delivered.
This just in: President Bush, in a surprise news conference, announced that the U.S. will officially recognize the Banana Republic’s independence. The popular clothing store is free to break away from Hickory Farms and the rest of the mall.
The Dead Sea Scrolls, rare documents from Biblical times, have been made public and partially translated. It seems the correct pronunciation after all is “Hey-Zeus”, and not “Jesus”, as formally thought.
Final Exit, the book that instructs its owner on suicide techniques, remains on the bestseller list for seven weeks in a row. One tip: don’t try to find this book at the library – people just don’t return it.
Pee Wee Herman.. nah. Why beat a dead horse!
Kevin Nealon: Theodore Geisel, known to his loyal readers as Dr. Suess, died this week at age 87. Like many of us, I grew up with Dr. Suess, and one of my favorite stories is “Green Eggs and Ham”. Here to read from this classic, is the Rev. Jesse Jackson. Reverand?
Jesse Jackson: Tonight, rather than read from First and Second Samuel, I read from Sam I Am, according to the latter day saint Suess.
“You do not like green eggs and ham?
I do not like them, Sam-I-am.
I do not like green eggs and ham.
I could not, would not, on a boat.
I will not, will not, with a goat.
I will not eat them in the rain.
I will not eat them on a train.
Not in the dark! Not in a tree!
Not in a car! You let me be!
I do not like them in a box.
I do not like them with a fox.
I will not eat them in a house.
I do not like them with a mouse.
I do not like them here or there.
I do not like them ANYWHERE!
I do not like green eggs and ham!
I do not like them, Sam-I-am.
You do not like them.
So you say.
Try them! Try them!
And you may.
Try them and you may, I say.
Sam!
If you will let me be, I will try them.
You will see.
Say!
I like green eggs and ham!
I do! I like them, Sam-I-am!
And I would eat them in a boat.
And I would eat them with a goat…
I do so like
green eggs and ham!
Thank you!
Thank you,
Sam-I-am!”
Eight researchers, yesterday, sealed themselves off from the rest of the world for two years, when they entered the Biosphere II. The 24-acre structure houses animals, insects, its own ocean, a rainforest, and of course, a McDonald’s.
In a late-breaking story, Baltic Avenue has just broken off from the board game Monopoly. There’s been no comment yet from the other avenues.
Kevin Nealon: And now a look at tomorrow’s weather. [ looks at map ] Lots of reds covering the south, some yellows up in the north, blending into some browns in the midwest. 20% chance of scattered greens by Monday. Won’t be long before we can look forward to those blues.
Well, that wraps it up this week for me. I’m Kevin Nealon. Morning!

Daily Affirmation With Stuart Smalley
Stuart Smalley…..Al Franken
…..Michael Jordan
Stuart Smalley V/O: I deserve good things. I am entitled to my share of happiness. I refuse to beat myself up. I am attractive person. I am fun to be with.
Announcer: “Daily Affirmation with Stuart Smalley”. Stuart Smalley is a caring nurturer, a member of several 12-step programs, but not a licensed therapist.
[ open on Stuart giving himself a pep talk in his full-length mirror ]
Stuart Smalley: I’m going to do a terrific show today! And I’m gonna help people! Because I’m good enough, I’m smart enough, and, doggonit, people like me!
[ turns to camera ]
Hello, I’m Stuart Smalley! Well, I’m still receiving some negative reaction from my show on Pee Wee Herman, titled, “There But For The Grace Of God Go I”, and, I have to admit, it’s not my best show.. but that’s o-kay. I have to give myself permission to do a bad show every now and then. Okay.. for those of you who watch the show regularly, you know that I don’t have guests, I always do the show alone.. and that’s.. o-kay. But yesterday, my producer said, “Stuart, I can get you a guest that you would be insane not to have on the show.” So I decided to take a risk – in life, you have to take risks – and, today we have a guest.. [ reveal Michael Jordan sitting next to Stuart ] ..and his name is Michael J. – I’ll protect your anonymity. Michael is a basketball player for a professional basketball team. Well, that’s very good, Michael, you should be very proud of yourself.
Michael Jordan: Well, thank you, Stuart. I am.
Stuart Smalley: Well, good for you! Good for you! Um, Michael.. I know there must be a lot of pressure for you to play very well, and I can imagine that the night before a game, you must lie awake thinking, “I’m not good enough.. everybody’s better than me.. I’m not going to score any points.. I have no business playing this game..”
Michael Jordan: Well.. not really.
Stuart Smalley: Michael, denial ain’t just a river in Egypt.
Michael Jordan: Well.. I do sometimes get a little nervous before important basketball games.
Stuart Smalley: I thought so. And that’s.. o-kay. You’re not alone. Believe me, I know what it’s like.. laying there alone.. all those tapes rolling: “I’m a fraud.. tomorrow, I’m going to be exposed for what I am, a big imposter.. I just want to curl up and lay in bed all day and eat Fig Newtons.”
Michael Jordan: Well.. something like that.
Stuart Smalley: Right. Well, Michael, those negative thoughts are your critical inner thoughts saying those things to you, and I want you to replace those negative thoughts with someting positive – a daily affirmation.
Michael Jordan: Affirmation?
Stuart Smalley: Yes. Now, look in the mirror. Come on, don’t look at me. Only you can help you. [ Michael faces the mirror ] That’s it. Say, “Hello, Michael.”
Michael Jordan: [ trying to suppress his laughter ] “Hello, Michael.”
Stuart Smalley: “I don’t have to be a great basketball player..”
Michael Jordan: “I don’t have to be a great basketball player..”
Stuart Smalley: “I don’t have to dribble the ball fast, or throw the ball into the basket..”
Michael Jordan: “I don’t have to dribble the ball fast, or throw the ball into the basket..”
Stuart Smalley: “Because all I have to do is be the best Michael I can be.”
Michael Jordan: “All I have to do is be the best Michael I can be.”
Stuart Smalley: “Because I’m good enough, I’m smart enough, and doggonit, people like me!”
Michael Jordan: “Because I’m good enough, I’m smart enough, and doggonit, people like me!”
Stuart Smalley: Now, don’t you feel better?
Michael Jordan: Well, I never really felt bad!
Stuart Smalley: Michael..
Michael Jordan: No, it’s true. Stuart, I guess pretty much of the time, I’m a very happy person. I mean, I’m a blessed person – God gave me the talent to play basketball, and I have been able to spread some of that talent, and some of that good feeling, towards everybody, to inspire other people, and help people achieve their dreams.
Stuart Smalley: [ glum ] I am just a fool.. I.. I don’t know what I’m doing.. they’re gonna cancel the show.. I’m gonna die homeless and penniless and twenty pounds overweight.. and no one will ever love me..
Michael Jordan: Stuart, that’s just not true. I think what you say on your show can be very helpful to people.
Stuart Smalley: You think so?
Michael Jordan: Yes! Definitely! I just don’t think it helps beating yourself up that way.
Stuart Smalley: You’re right. It’s just stinking thinking.
Michael Jordan: And, after all, this show is your dream. It’s a good dream! You deserve to have dreams come true! [ Stuart nods ] Feel better? Would you like a hug?
[ Stuart and Michael hug ]
Stuart Smalley: Thank you, Michael.
Michael Jordan: Thank you, Stuart!
Stuart Smalley: You know what? I think this is the best show I’ve ever done. And you know what? I deserve it! [ turns to his mirror ] Because I’m good enough, I’m smart enough, and, doggonit, people like me!
