Saturday Night Live Transcripts

Season 15: Episode 1

Donahue Promo I

Phil Donahue…..Phil Hartman

[FADE IN on Phil standing in a navy blue suit against a nondescript gray wall. The band plays the “Donahue” theme song.]

Phil Donahue: You’re a lonely American male! You’ve decided to jump back into the dating game! You take Mary Lou to dinner, and during an intimate moment, you discover that you’re also out with Leslie and Becky! Women who name their breasts! Next “Donahue.”

[The theme stops as he nods ruefully. SUPERIMPOSE a gold and white “DONAHUE” caption across the bottom of the screen. FADE to black over laughter and applause.]
