Brian Fellow: Rabbits can’t cut they own hair! that’s CRAZY!!

Gabby Connors: [ smiling ] Of course rabbits can’t cut their own hair, no.

Brian Fellow: That’s what I said.

Gabby Connors: [ confused again ]- Well, You’re right, and even thought this rabbit’s coat is short, the coat is thick enough to keep him plenty warm in the winter nights.

Brian Fellow: I bet if he tried to cut his own hair, he might cut one of his ears off!

Gabby Connors: Well…I suppose so…But just like I said, this rabbit didn’t cut his own hair.

Brian Fellow: [ angered ]- Then why did you bring him here?! Get him out of here! [ Gabby leaves ] Next time, make sure he do what you say he do!

Doc Ellis: [ smiling ] Yeah, you know you’re probably right.

Brian Fellow: Did you see that haircut rabbit? With the short haircut?

Doc Ellis: Yeah I did.

Brian Fellow: That was CRAZY!

Doc Ellis: [ laughing ] It sure was, and although it might look like it, this donkey didn’t give himself a haircut.

Brian Fellow: I know that, I’m not stupid!

Doc Ellis: I- I was just kidding…

Brian Fellow: I’m Brian Fellow!!! Let me ask you a question. Is a donkey and a mule the same thing?

Doc Ellis: You know, thats a very good question..

[ Doc keeps rambling…his voice eventually fades out… A thought bubble appears above Brian’s head showing a rabbit cutting its own hair]

9/11 Tribute

…..Mayor Rudolph Guiliani
…..Paul Simon
…..Lorne Michaels

[ open on New York Mayor Rudolph Guiliani standing at Home Base surrounded by two dozen members of the New York Fire and Police Department ]

Mayor Rudolph Guiliani: Good evening. Since September 11th, many people have called New York a city of heroes. Well, these are the heroes. The brave men and women of the New York Fire Department, the New York Police Department, the Port Authority Police Department, Fire Commissioner Tom Von Essen, and Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik.

On September 11th, more lives were lost than on any other single day in America’s history. More than Pearl Harbor, and more than D-Day. The men, women and children who were in the World Trade Center came from across the country and 80 different nations. They were living their lives and pursuing their dreams, and they, too, are remembered as heroes. On our city’s darkest day, our heroes met the worst of humanity with the best of humanity. Their acts of heroism saved more than 25,000 lives. But even as we grieve for our loved ones, it’s up to us to face our future with renewed determination. Our hearts are broken, but they are beating, and they are beating stronger than ever. New Yorkers are unified. We will not yield to terrorism. We will not let our decisions be made out of fear. We choose to live our lives in freedom.

[ camera pans to the adjacent stage, where Paul Simon is ready on guitar ]

Paul Simon: [ singing “The Boxer” ]
“I am just a poor boy.
Though my story’s seldom told,
I have squandered my resistance
For a pocketful of mumbles,
Such are promises
All lies and jest
Still, a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest.

When I left my home and my family,
I was no more than a boy
In the company of strangers
In the quiet of the railway station,
Running scared, laying low,
Seeking out the poorer quarters
Where the ragged people go,
Looking for the places
Only they would know.

Lie-la-lie …

Asking only workman’s wages
I come looking for a job,
But I get no offers,
Just a come-on from the whores
On Seventh Avenue.
I do declare,
There were times when I was so lonesome
I took some comfort there.

Now the years are rolling by me,
They are rocking evenly.
I am older than I once was,
Younger than I’ll be,
That’s not unusual.
No, it isn’t strange,
After changes upon changes,
We are more or less the same.
After changes we are more or less the same.

Lie-la-lie …

Then I’m laying out my winter clothes
And wishing I was gone
Going home
Where the New York City winters
Aren’t bleeding me,
Leading me,
Going home.

In the clearing stands a boxer,
And a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders
Of ev’ry glove that laid him down
Or cut him till he cried out
In his anger and his shame,
“I am leaving, I am leaving.”
But the fighter still remains.

Lie-la-lie … “

[ camera pans back to Mayor Rudolph Guiliani and company, as Lorne Michaels joins them on stage ]

Lorne Michaels: On behalf of everyone here, I just want to thank you all for being here tonight, especially you, sir.

Mayor Rudolph Guiliani: Thank you, Lorne. Thank you very much. Having our city’s institutions up and running sends a message that New York City is open for business. “Saturday Night Live” is one of our great New York City institutions, and that’s why it’s important for you to do your show tonight.

Lorne Michaels: Can we be funny?

Mayor Rudolph Guiliani: Why start now? “Live, from New York! It’s Saturday Night!”

SNL Transcripts: John Goodman: 11/03/01: CBS Evening Anthrax Update



 Saturday Night Live Transcripts


  Season 27: Episode 4



01d: John Goodman / Ja Rule

CBS Evening Anthrax Update

Dan Rather…..Darrell Hammond

Dan Rather: Good evening. This is the CBS Evening Anthrax Update, Dan Rather reporting. Here are tonight’s new developments.

At this hour, officials of the Center For Disease Control are confirming the presence of anthrax spores at three new locations: my desk here at CBS Nightly News, my basement weight room, and my breakfast nook. Right now, individuals known to have worked at or visited these locations are being tested for anthrax, and at the moment we have any details we’ll pass them along to you.

Hold on. [ presses earpiece ] Alright. This just in. CBS News now comfirming that I.. have.. anthrax. Now, as you can imagine, this comes as a major disappointment to me personally. And, I don’t mind telling you that I’m madder than a rained-on rooster about it. But listen, let’s make one thing clear from the get-go – anthrax or no anthrax, I’m gonna stay right here to bring you any new developments as soon as we get them.

And here’s one now. CBS News is now projecting that over at NBC News, Tim Russert.. has.. anthrax. He may not know it yet, and he may be feeling as strong as an acre of garlic. But, nonetheless, CBS News is confident that when all the test results are in, Tim Russert will have anthrax.

And, here’s another. Over at ABC News, CBS now projects that Ted Koppel and Peter Jennings both have anthrax. Ted Koppel, inflammational; Peter Jennings, geltaneous.

And, over at CNBC, CBS is now projecting that Geraldo Rivera also has anthrax. Both kinds.

Now.. this, next, is something of an upset. Back at NBC, CBS is now projecting that Katie Couric does not.. have.. anthrax. I repeat: does not have anthrax. Now, this will come as a bitter disappointment to many conservatives who had high hopes the perky liberal “Today Show” host would contract the disease, at least in its geltaneous form. But tonight, they’re going home empty-handed, while over at Couric-ville they’re dancing in the streets.

Uh-oh! hold on to your hats, folks. In perhaps the biggest surprise of the night, CBS News now projecting that down at CNN, anchor Wolf Blitzer has both anthrax and rabies. Details are sketchy at this time, but apparently the highly-respected newsman was bitten by a squirrel caught in his attic vent.

So, to sum up where we tand at the moment – Rather, anthrax; Russert, anthrax; Koppel and Jennings, anthrax; Rivera, anthrax; Couric, no anthrax; Blitzer, anthrax, attacked by a squirrel.

This just in, and it is a big one. Carl, get off the phone, Mabel, get into the kitchen ,you’re gonna want to hear this. CBS News is now projecting that Walter Cronkite has scurvy. In addition, the veteran news anchor may – and, I repeat, may – have anthrax. Wait, hold on.. he does have anthrax. Alright, another shocker, right here at CBS. We’re now prjecting that Andy Rooney has cholera. Now, many will ask, how did the popular “60 Minutes” curmudgeon contract this rare disease? One theory – and at this point, it’s just a theory – is that he may have drunk stagnant water from an air conditioner, believing it to be Scotch. Also, he has anthrax.

Alright, get the digitalis. CBS News has now another projection to make, and, believe me, it is a bombshell. Carl, come back into the living room, Mabel, get a pad and pencil ’cause you’re gonna want to write this down. CBS News now projects that over at NBC, the entire cast of “Friends” has head lice. Now, in light of this development, many will be certain to second-guess Jennifer Aniston’s marriage to Brad Pitt, because, at the moment, her new hairdo has more unauthorized guests than a Mexican Motel 6.

Alright, folks. This has been a night of surprises, and here’s one more. Carl, go down to the basement. Mabel, get in here, take your clothes off, and put these shoes on. Also the hat. Now, put one leg up on that chair, arch your back and listen to this, ‘cause it’s a humdinger. [ pause ] CBS News is now projecting that Walter Cronkite has gonorrhea. Now, with anthrax, scurvy, and yellow fever, the last thing he needs is the clap. But he’s got it, and he’s got it good. If I was a betting man, I’d say his chances of survival are slim and none – and slim just left town.

Now, this raises the question: how confident are we here at CBS News that our projections are accurate? Plenty confident. When we make a projection, you can take it to the bank. Our record is quite simply the best in the business, and if we say somebody has anthrax, believe me, he’s got anthrax! This just in: CBS is now confirming that none of the people we have reported tonight as having anthrax actually have anthrax. I repeat: nobody has anthrax. No, wait. I.. still.. have anthrax. But I’m not going anywhere, and you can bet that when more details become available, I’ll be right here to bring them to you.

Dan Rather, CBS News. Good night.

Bookie Newton: I’ll have you know I’ve seen some pretty heavy stuff in my day. Like The Case of the Missing Shopping Bag.. and The Case of the Rented Canoes. and The Case of the Stinky sneakers!

Detective Maroney: Yeahh.. those sound like some real tough cases to crack.

[ Sam bounces into the office ]

Sam: Hey! I locked up our Slueth Cycles – AKA, our bikes!

Bookie Newton: This is my kid sister, Sam.

Sam: I’m not a kid!

Bookie Newton: Here we go again..

Detective Maroney: Hey, I’ve got a case for you two – how about solving The Case of.. [ tosses pen across the room ] ..The Missing Pen?

Bookie Newton: Don’t underestimate our sleuthing powers of observation.

Sam: [ to Maroney ] I’ve already picked up a few clues about you!

Bookie Newton: Spill the beans, Sis!

Sam: Well.. he’s a detective, his name is John Maroney, and he loves to smoke!

Bookie Newton: But how did you know?

Sam: First, you told me we were gonna meet a detective..

Bookie Newton: Hmm..

Sam: Then, his name plate says “John Marney”..

Bookie Newton: Hmm..

Sam: And he has an ashtray filled with stinker-butts!

Bookie Newton: Hmm..

Together: Case closed! [ laugh ]

Sam: [ looking next to the ashtray ] Ooohh.. candy!

Bookie Newton: No, Sam! Candy makes you hyper, and I’m allergic to peanuts and bees..

Sam: Mmm-hmm..

Bookie Newton: On account of us being partners, I just thought you should know, that in a peanut or bee situation, I will be slightly less reliable. However.. if there are no penauts, and no bees, then you can-

Detective Maroney: [ interrupting ] Alright, fine!! You want to help me solve this case? [ slueths nod ] Here it is! We found a dead prostitute on Route 4.. somebody cut off her hands and feet.. and shoved a deli menu in her mouth!

[ the slueths tremble slightly ]

Bookie Newton: Can we have a.. second, please..?

Sam: Uh.. uh..

[ the sleuths form a huddle, arguing the case and Sam’s desire for candy, then they return to Maroney ]

Sam: First thing we need to do is find out what a prostitute is.

Bookie Newton: That’s where our Latin comes in handy.

Sam: Let’s break it down.. “Pro” means..

Bookie Newton: Professional!

Sam: Mm-hmm! And “stitute” sounds like.. “substitute”.

Bookie Newton: A professional substitute!

Together: Hmm… who would want to kill a professional substitute teacher??

Sam: And why would a professional substitute teacher want to eat a menu!

Bookie Newton: Maybe it’s a clue!

Together: Hmmmm….

Bookie Newton: Let’s start with the menu!

Sam: Well, a menu is made of paper..

Bookie Newton: And paper’s made of trees..

Sam: And trees grow in the forest!

Detective Maroney: [ starting to get it ] Yeah.. yeah.. this is starting to make some sense..

Sam: Yeah, yeah! and forest rangers wear badges!

Bookie Newton: Just like police officers!

Sam: And.. and police officers are heros!

All Together: Which is also the name of a sandwich!!

[ music sting, as Lieutenant chokes up the hero sandwich he’s eating ]

Lieutenant: That whore deserved it! I’ve got a wife and kids! That slut was gonna ruin everything!

Detective Maroney: [ outraged ] You disgust me! [ to police officers ] Take him away, guys! I doubted you little sleuths, but you proved me wrong. I’ll work with youse two’s any time! How can I ever repay you?

Sam: Candy!

Bookie Newton: Cool it, Sam! Well, we’ve gotta go. There’s a question to the validity of a prize-winning fish in the local fishing contest.

Sam: It’s called The Case of the Doubtful Trout.

Bookie Newton: Plus.. I just learned how to masturbate.. so I kinda wanna get home!

Sam: Hey, uh.. Bookie? what’s “masturbate”?

Bookie Newton: Break it down!

Sam: Okay. Well, to “master” means “to be in control”..

Bookie Newton: Mmm-hmm!

Sam: And “bait” is a “little worm”.

Bookie Newton: Mmm-hmm!

Sam: Mmm-hmm!

[ Sleuths make their exit ]

Detective Maroney: [ slaps his cheek ] Oh, those little sleuths!

Sheldon: [ nervous ] Hey.

Megan: Well, it’s our first show of the new school year.

Megan: Yeah. We made some pretty drastic changes to the show this year. We’ve got some special effects. Check this.. [ waves her arms ] whoa! Awesome!

Sheldon: And, we added a window, just like on “The Today Show”.

[ camera pans over to the window, where students are making faces and acting childish ]

Megan: It’s awesome, you guys. Um.. the other main format change in the show, is that I am no longer in love with Randy Goldman.. [ reveals t-shirt with Randy’s face X’d out ] ..so, Randy, if you’re watching.. you don’t have to ignore me any more, because I don’t like you like that. But I do like your new haircut with the long pieces on the side – it’s awesome! Anyway.. our guest is the President of the Spanish Club. Some people say that she’s super stuck-up, but I don’t know, we’ll see.

Sheldon: Please welcome, Gretchen Doyle.

Gretchen Doyle: Hola. Hola coma esta.

Sheldon: Uh.. bien. Thank you. So, I understand there’s a Spanish Club dinner this Friday. Need one be a member to attend?

Gretchen Doyle: No. Todo sambien venudo. But you do have to speak Spanish the whole time. Nos tiennos, tacos y burritos, chips y salsa.

Megan: That’s cool. So you go out with Randy Goldman, huh?

Gretchen Doyle: Si.

Megan: So where’d you guys meet?

Gretchen Doyle: Nos sanchez hooked up a la fiesta de bar mitzvah mi amigo, Beth.

Megan: [ to Sheldon ] What did she say?

Gretchen Doyle: Did you just have me on here to talk about Randy?

Megan: No.. wait.. what?

Sheldon: Uh, okay.. it’s 7:59, time to check in on our viewer window.

[ camera pans over to the window, where one student prepares to moon the camera. Mr. B. covers the glass with his clipboard ]

Mr. Banglian: Watch it! Okay, gang, there you go! Okay, come on! You can flash the moons on your own time! I think it’s pretty cool to, you know, put your thing up on the glass.. but it’s not appropriate for school. Hey kids, I just want to remind you, tomorrow is Juggle For Senior Citizens Day. We’re gonna have about twenty of the school’s best jugglers out by the track, juggling fruit. And.. then when they’re done, we’re gonna give all the bruised fruit to the elderly to eat.. so it’s good and soft. It’s a good cause, hope to see you there. This is Mr. B. saying, “Don’t be a playa hater, be an intramural sports participata!” That’s good, that’s what the kids say! Alright, be good, gang! [ moonwalks out ]

All: Bye, Mr. B..

Megan: So, Gretchen.. in conclusion, what’s it like being unbelievably awesome and perfect?

Gretchen Doyle: Dios mio, I am not perfect. Yo tego problemo, just like anybody else. I mean, my hair’s so naturally blonde, I can only wear pink or purple.

Sheldon: You.. you smell good.

Gretchen Doyle: Oh, thanks. Hey.. are you in my Honors English class.

Sheldon: Uh.. I’m in all your classes.

Gretchen Doyle: Oh.. right.

Randy Goldman: Hey, morning, Gretch.. I brought you some Toaster Strudels.

Gretchen Doyle: Thanks, Randy!

Megan: [ freezing up ] Oh, hey, Randy, I didn’t even see there.. that’s cool.. I was just hosting the show..!

Randy Goldman: Oh, hey, Melanie. how was your summer? [ exits with Gretchen ]

Megan: Oh, my summer was good.. My name’s not Melanie.. Hey, guys, wait up! [ runs over to the window ]

Sheldon: Um.. also.. one final announcement. Um.. lately, there’s been a big problem with certain people pushing certain other people into the second floor girl’s bathroom and holding the door shut, um.. making certain people late for orchestra class.. which happens to be certain people’s favorite class.. so.. let’s just keep that to a minimum. Back to you, Megan.

Megan: I am over here at the viewer window.. where Randy and Gretchen are totally making out..! That’s cool, I don’t even care! But if my heart had a mouth, and it could speak, it would say that I cherish you, Randy Wayne Goldman.. and, though in my life I may take many lovers, you will forever be my brown-eyed SFOC – Super Fox of the Century. [ singing ] “I want to stand with you on the mountains..”

Randy Goldman: I can totally hear you! This is plastic!

Megan: Ohhh.. that’s cool! I was just joshing! I know joshing’s not a word, but.. it’s all good! Well, that’s all the time we have.

Sheldon: Signing off, I’m Sheldon.

Megan: And I am now, and for always, the future Mrs. Randy Goldman. Sheldon, take it home.

Reese Witherspoon’s Monologue

…..Reese Witherspoon

Reese Witherspoon: Thank you. I’m so happy and honored to be here tonight, and, most of all, I’m happy that you all are here with me. We’ve never done a show under these circumstances, so we’re still finding our way. But I promise you that we’re gonna give it everything we’ve got. So, this is the part of the show where the host usually say something funny, but I don’t know any jokes. I know one joke, but it has a bad word in it.. so I probably shouldn’t tell it, should I?

[ audience eggs her on to tell the joke anyway ]

Okay.. you asked for it. Here it goes:

There’s this polar bear couple, and they have this beautiful polar bear baby. And they’re so happy, they can’t believe it, he’s just the cutest, sweetest polar bear cub. And he learns to run really fast, and he learns to talk early.. and the first question he asks his mother is, “Mom? Am I a real polar bear?” And his mother says, “Yes, you’re a real polar bear. I’m a polar bear, and your daddy’s a polar bear.. so, of course, you’re a polar bear.”

So the baby polar bear is growing stronger every day, and he learns to fish before any of the other baby polar bears, and his parents are just really proud of him. And after a few months, the baby polar bear comes up to his mom and asks, “Mom, are you sure I’m pure polar bear?” And his mother says, “Yes, honey, we’re polar bears. Your grandma and grandpa are polar bears.. you’re pure polar bear.” And he says, “Okay.”

Then, on the baby polar bear’s first birthday, his parents throw him a huge party, and all the polar bears come, because they love him so much, and as the baby polar bear is about to blow out the candles on his cake, he turns to his mother and he asks, “Mom, are you sure I’m 100% pure polar bear?” “Yes, you are 100% pure polar baer. But why do you keep asking me that?” And the baby polar bear says, “Because I’m freezing my balls off!”

So.. that’s my joke! Alicia Keys is here to help us have a good time. So, stick around and see what happens!
