[ the crowds open up to reveal a high school couple slow dancing in a circular motion. Each one speaks as they make the spin to face the camera ]
Boy: I’m really glad we’re dancing together.
Girl: Me, too, you’re a good dancer.
Boy: It’s fun to dance.
Girl: Uh-huh. Can’t beat dancing.
Boy: Dancing is good and fun.
Girl: I was just about to say that.
Boy: Is it okay if I put my hands here? [ lowers his hands to Girl’s butt ]
Girl: O-kay..
Boy: Is it okay if I move them around?
Girl: Uhh.. no.
Boy: Your hair smells nice, what do you wash it with?
Girl: Well.. I wash it with Herbal Essence shampoo.. and then I put Sassoon conditioner on, for exactly fifteen minutes.. and then, before I rinse it out, I squoosh it in real good to the hair shaft.. and then, you-
Boy: [ quickly spins around so he can face the camera, cutting off Girl’s response ] O-o-okay.. Herbal Essence, and then the other one. I got it, thank you.
Girl: [ looks across the room with a disgusted look on her face ] Oh, gro-oss. That guy’s staring at me.
Boy: [ looking, assuming the role of a tough guy ] That little guy with the beard? I’ll beat his ass!
Girl: No, the big Puerto Rican guy next to him.
Boy: [ secretly scared ] I don’t think he’s staring at you. [ glances at the Puerto Rican guy ] Hola!
Girl: My parents are out at some play tonight. You wanna.. come over and hang out?
Boy: [ excited ] Yes!
Girl: Oh! What was that?
Boy: Sorry, uh.. that happens sometimes when I dance..
Girl: Well, can you make it not happen?
Boy: Yeah. Start talking about your shampoos again.
Girl: You know.. I heard there’s a guy in the Senior class.. who still sleeps in his Battlestar Galactica pajamas.
Boy: [ eyes shifting back and forth nervously ]
Girl: Turns out the lacrosse team found out who it was, and they’re coming over to beat the crap out of him.
Boy: [ puts a fake moustache over his lip ] Really? I hope they find the guy.
[ Black Guy enters scene ]
Black Guy: Excuse me, you mind if I cut in?
Boy: Not at all.
[ Boy and Girl seperate; the Black Guy begins to dance with the Boy, as the Girl steps aside and pouts to herself ]
Black Guy: I like your moustache.
Boy: Thanks.
Black Guy: Is it okay if I put my hands down here? [ puts his hands on Boy’s butt ]
Announcer: The following is a message from President Bill Clinton.
President Bill Clinton: Good evening, my fellow Americans. Last Monday, Congress announced that no Health Care reform legislation will be passed this year. As you know, this was the key element in my domestic agenda. And that is why I come to you tonight. To make one.. last.. desperate attempt at Universal Health coverage. This plan is a little bit scaled down, that’s why I’m nervous. We’ve cut a few corners. But it’s simple, it’s cheap.. and it fulfills my campaign promise to cover every single American!
Here’s how it works:
If you are an American citizen – rich or poor, young or old, mixed or different – you will receive this Universal Health Care First Aid Kit! [ holds up First Aid kit, sorting through the contents ] It’s got band-aids in here, ointment, bug spray! Here’s an Ace bandage, in case you sprain your ankle while jogging, or something. The National Health Care crisis is over!
And that’s not all. If you do get sick – and we all get sick at some time – you will receive this government voucher for one pint of blood! [ holds up voucher ] I feel your pain. Plus – and this is something we’re very, very proud of – every American will receive this book: The Healing Power of Herbs! By Eugene Chow. [ holds up book ] This stuff really works! Oh, and uh.. y’all remember this? [ holds up small card ] That’s right, this was the Health Security card that was gonna allow you to walk into any hospital, anywhere in the country, and receive free mwdical care. Well, you can forget about that.. But on the back of the card.. an illustration of the Heimlich Manuever. Every American can keep it in his pocket in case a loved one begins to choke.
During the campaign, Hillary and I met a man in Kentucky. He told us how he watched his dear wife choke to death on a medallion of veal. If our new scaled-down Health Care package had been in place at that time.. she’d be alive today. Her chldren would have a mother. And her husband would not live in terror of eating Italian food. This must pass! This must pass!
Now, to the naysayers who think this isn’t enough, my answer is: The National Health Phone! Just dial 5-5-5-SICK. [ holds up phone receiver, and dials the number ]
Health Phone Voice: Hel-lo, and wel-come to Health Phone..
Movie Annuncer Voice: The vacation is over.
Male Voice: I need your wife to get me down to the river.
Movie Announcer Voice: Meryl Streep.. Kevin Bacon.. There’s no way out, but down “The River Wild”.
Second Movie Announcer Voice: Now playing at a theater near you!
President Bill Clinton: [ smiling ] Had to pay for it somehow!
Health Phone Voice: Us-ing your touch-tone key-pad, please en-ter the first three let-ers of the ill-ness you think you might have.. now.
President Bill Clinton: Right now, I’ll just dial “S”.. “W”.. “O”. [ keys in the letters ]
Health Phone Voice: You have chos-en.. Swoll-en.. Prost-ate.
President Bill Clinton: Bingo!
Health Phone Voice: For a spe-cial-ist in your ar-e-a, en-ter your five-dig-it zip code now.
President Bill Clinton: [ keys in his zip code ]
Health Phone Voice: There is a.. swoll-en.. prost-ate.. spe-cial-ist prac-tic-ing at 1-6-0-3 Penn-syl-van-i-a Av-e-nue.
President Bill Clinton: Well, that’s right across the street! It’s that easy! Congress must pass this bill! [ pounds desk with his free hand ] This bill is the best thing that could ever happen to any American! [ stops pounding ] Isn’t that right, Health Phone?
Health Phone Voice: “Live.. from New York.. it’s Sat-ur-day Night!”

And now, with a commentary, here is Weekend Updatecorrespondent Laura Kightlinger. Laura? [Applause aswe pan over to Laura.]
Laura Kightlinger: Thanks, Norm. You know, Ithink it’s important to stop and pay attention to whatlife can teach you. I was fired from a job recentlyand I think whenever something ends in your life,whether it be a relationship or a job, there’s alwaysa message. And that is: “You’re no good. No one needsyou.” Now, what surprised me most about being firedwas that everyone said the same thing to console me:”You know, everything happens for a reason.” And astrite as that sounds, I think it’s better to hear itout loud because when you hear it in your own head, itsounds like “You know, anything can happen with arazor.” …
Now, you can’t anticipate a life lesson — it justhappens to you. I was driving through Pennsylvania andI stopped at a gas station. There were about eightcars waiting for service so I went into the gasstation to see what the heck was going on and therewas shattered glass everywhere and an empty cashregister on the floor. Finally, I found the attendantin the bathroom stall. His arms and legs were tied atthe back of the toilet. He had an oily rag stuffed inhis mouth and a bullet through the back of his head.And I said to myself, “My God! How could he do that tohimself?” … His business was booming! And then Irealized — the attendant had a fear of success. …And that was a lesson that I needed to learn.
You know, two months ago, a man in Spain had areligious experience. He saw the hand of the statue ofthe Jesus bleeding. And a week later, a girl in Italysaw the Virgin Mary crying. And I’m happy to tell you,I’ve had a religious experience myself. I was at theBob’s Big Boy in Paramus, New Jersey … and Iactually saw liquid rust coming out of the butt of theBig Boy icon. … And when it happens to you, it’slike, “Well, all right, there’s something out there.”And, doggone it, that’s my point — there issomething out there. It’s all there for us. All wehave to do — is see it.
Scientists in Africa have discovered the oldest knownhuman ancestor, born 4.4 million years ago. Althoughunearthed only days ago, he is already engaged toAnna Nicole Smith.

Postal authorities removed a cigarette from a photo ofblues artist RobertJohnson to help dignify the musician in a new stampthey’ve issued in hishonor.

And now, here with this summer’s concert reviews, isour very own rock and roll correspondent Gil Graham!Gil? Welcome.
[Applause as we pan over to oily, bespectacled rockfan Gil Graham who wears a colorful Led Zeppelin shirtand speaks with an intense half-whisper.]
Gil Graham: Thanks, Norm. Well, it was a longsummer so let’s dispense with the preliminaries andget to the rock and roll.
June 17th, Toronto’s Exhibition Stadium. That’s right,the Rolling Stones are back and yours truly had thebest seats in the house. I had a date but she pulledthe old no-show. So I walked over to a kick-asstailgate party to see if anyone wanted the extraticket. Well, it turns out they wanted both tickets.They beat me without mercy for what seemed like aneternity. … I woke up two hours later in a parkinglot dumpster just in time to hear the Stones’ rockin’encore, “Jumpin’ Jack Flash.” … The acoustics in thedumpster were phenomenal. … All I could hear was thebass but, take it from me, that new bass player canslap a funky one. … So all you Stones fans outthere, I advise you to do the Harlem shuffle to yournearest Ticketmaster.
July 8th, Giants Stadium, “Hell Freezes Over,” theEagles reunite. I did not attend this concert. I gavemy tickets to two fourteen year old girls who promisedto send me two thousand dollars. … Ladies, I’m stillwaiting for my money. …
August 1st, Foxboro Stadium, Pink Floyd, “Ready toRock.” Bought tickets from a scalper. … Turned outto be stubs from a Molly Hatchet concert in 1974. …I pointed out the scalper’s mistake and he threw medown a flight of stairs. …
Next stop, August 14th, Saugerties, New York. That’sright, folks, Woodstock II. It was a celebration ofpeace, love and understanding. Except for this oneguy. … He snatched my backstage passes and locked meinside a Port-a-Potty. … Then he tipped it over and,just my luck, it landed door-side down. … There wasno gettin’ out. But that didn’t prevent me fromrockin’ out to Blind Melon as I enjoyed my own privatemosh pit. … Aerosmith was just about to go on when Ifelt the Port-a-Potty start to move. I realized I wassliding down a mud-slicked hill, just before thePort-a-Potty slammed into a barbecue and caught fire…. I could hear Joe Perry whaling away on “SweetEmotion” as I struggled to free myself from my flamingtomb. … When I woke up in the hospital, I said tomyself — actually, I thought to myself sincemy lips were burnt shut … — “Woodstock once everytwenty-five years? Count me in!”
Back to you, Norm, and, in the words of the Stones, “Iknow it’s only rock and roll but I like it!” …[applause, Norm shakes Gil’s hand]
Norm MacDonald: Thank you, buddy.
Gil Graham: All right, baby! [acknowledgesapplause with a nod and exits by scooting off on hisswivel chair.]
Norm MacDonald: Adam Sandler! Adam Sandler–Gil Graham, it was– I’m sorry, Gil Graham. … Looksa bit like Adam Sandler. … Take off that wig and thefunny shirt, you know? Dead ringer for Sandler….
In Washington, a 410-pound convicted killer isfighting his execution onconstitutional grounds. He claims that, if he ishanged, his head will becompletely torn from his body, which would amount to”cruel and unusualpunishment.” Now, having your head completely tornfrom your body is cruel,I’ll grant you, but is it really that unusual?…
Well, David Hasselhoff is a huge rock star in Germany,where his latest album sold five million copies thisweek — which once again proves my theory: Germanslove David Hasselhoff. …
A truck full of chickens overturned on the Long IslandExpressway yesterday.Hundreds of chickens crossed the road but nobody’sbeen able to figure outwhy. …
And that’s all for now. Good night and good luck.

…..Steve Martin Bob Hillets…..Chris Elliot Dave Marcus…..Kevin Nealon
Steve Martin: Hi, I’m Steve Martin. With so many celebrities endorsing cosmetics these days, I wanted to make sure the cosmetic I endorsed was very special. That’s why I’m proud to put my name on.. Steve Martin’s All-Natural Penis Beauty Cream.. New Formula. Try my new beauty cream, and in a matter of weeks your penis will be looking smoother and softer, the way women like it. And because of the new formula no more scaling. Here’s how it works:
Just take a small amount and rub gently on the penis for several minutes up to a half-hour. You’ll notice a difference right away. And, don’t worry, a slight discoloration is normal. Bob, tell us, how has my Steve Martin’s All-Natural Penis Beauty Cream.. New Formula helped you?
Bob Hillets: Well, Steve, I’m in real estate, and if I’m not confident, I can’t do my job.
Steve Martin: And you can’t feel confident unless your manhood is smooth and soft, right?
Bob Hillets: Exactly! If I’m thinking about my appearance, I’m not thinking about selling houses. The day I started using Steve’s cream, I sold three houses. Now, I have more energy than before, my confidence is sky-high, I just got my pilot’s license, and next week I’m flying solo from L.A. to Tahoe with nothing onboard except two jars of your cream.
Steve Martin: That’s great!
Bob Hillets: Well, the best part, Steve, is that now I can throw away all those cans of turtle wax.
Steve Martin: Our next guest actually started using my new cream by accident. Isn’t that right, Dave?
Dave Marcus: That’s right, Steve. I thought it was for something else.
Steve Martin: And now that you’ve been using the product, how have you found it?
Dave Marcus: Well, Steve.. I’ve found I have a lovelier, more luxurious, softer penis than I ever had with other beauty creams, probably because it’s the first beauty lotion made especially for the johnson. I’ll tell you – if I could afford it, I would use your cream 24 hours a day.
Steve Martin: And, is your wife more attracted to you now that you’ve been using my cream?
Dave Marcus: Well, Steve, my wife recently left me, But before she did, she told me, “I hope you and your Steve Martin’s Beauty Cream will be very happy.
Steve Martin: Well, that’s a lovely tribute! Thank you, Dave. Steve Martin’s All-Natural Penis Beauty Cream.. New Formula. You know it’s safe. Why? Because it’s tested on animals. And, if you order by mail, don’t worry – it’s shipped in a plain brown wrapper with the words “Not Penis Cream” stamped all over it in big red letters. So pick up a jar today, and remember, it’s the only cream with a picture of my penis on it!

[ open on Court TV logo, dissolve to Terry Moran ]
Terry Moran: Good eveinng, I’m Terry Moran. Welcome to Court TV’s continuing coverage of the O.J. Simpson trial. Well.. this was it. The first week, in what will certainly be the most watched, most talked about murder trial in United States history. It began, as expected, with a motion by Defense to dismiss all charges against Mr. Simpson. Here, the Prosecution responds:
[ dissolve to Judge Ito’s courtoom ]
Marcia Clark: Your honor, the evidence against the defendent is clear.. and indisputable. It can lead to one conclusion, and one conclusion only, and that is that the defendent, O.J. Simpson, is guilty.
[ close-up on O.J.’s face, as he grimaces at the thought of being guilty ]
Marcia Clark: First of all, there’s the bloody glove found on the defendent’s property.. [ O.J. grimaces ] The testimony of the limo driver, which contradicts the defendent’s alibi.. [ O.J. grimaces ] The DNA test, which connect the defendent to droplets of blood found at the crime scene.. [ O.J. grimaces ]
Judge Ito: Counselor, uh.. what about the DNA results for the blood on the Bronco?
Marcia Clark: Well, that, so far, is inconclusive.. [ O.J. smiles ] But, according to the tests, the hair found at the crime scene does match that of the defendent’s. [ O.J. grimaces ] And now, at this time, your Honor, I’d like to move to adjourn.
Judge Ito: Very well. It’s been a long day, so, uh.. we can all go home, and the, uh.. defendnet can return to his cell.. [ O.J. grimaces ] Which, I understand, is being repainted today. [ O.J. smiles ] Although, there will be some paint fumes for the next few days. [ O.J. grimaces ]
Robert Shapiro: Your Honor, if it pleases the court?
Judge Ito: Mr. Shapiro.
Robert Shapiro: Your Honor, we’re all very hungry. The defense would like to suggest, before we adjourn, we all order out for a pizza.
Judge Ito: Uh.. the answer that I give, Counselor, uh.. can it be something with vegetables, like broccoli?
Robert Shapiro: Your Honor, how about half-broccoli, half-sausage?
Marcia Clark: No, Your Honor, if it please the court.. uh.. the prosecution would ask that, in place of broccoli and sausage, that we order a four-cheese pizza.
[ looks of confusion are exchanged throughout the courtroom ]
[ dissolve back to Terry Moran ]
Terry Moran: The following day, jury selection began. And, from the tone of attorney Robert Shapiro’s questions, it appears that Defense intends to play the “race card”.
[ dissolve back to the courtroom ]
Robert Shapiro: Miss Osbourne, do you believe that a person of color can possibly achieve a fair trial in this profoundly racist society?
Miss Osbourne: No, I do not.
Robert Shapiro: And would you say the defendent’s only real crime was being a black man in white America?
Miss Osbourne: Yes, I would.
Robert Shapiro: Now, Miss Osbourne, have you ever seen the tape of Rodney King being beaten by white police officers?
Miss Osbourne: Many times.
Robert Shapiro: And don’t you think that.. a great way to even the score for the Rodney King beating would be to acquit Mr. Simpson of all charges?
Miss Osbourne: Yes, I do!
Robert Shapiro: I have no problem with this juror, your Honor.
Marcia Clark: [ interrupting ] Uh.. move to dismiss this juror.
Robert Shapiro: Oh, come on!
[ dissolve back to Terry Moran ]
Terry Moran: Later that same afternoon, we saw another of those one-in-a-million coincidences that have been a hallmark of this case.
[ dissolve back to the courtroom, Kato Kaelin at the stand ]
Marcia Clark: Would you state your name, please?
Kato Kaelin: Brian “Kato” Kaelin.
Marcia Clark: So you are the Kato Kaelin?
Kato Kaelin: [ meekly ] Yeah.
Marcia Clark: And you are here because you received a notice to appear for jury duty?
Kato Kaelin: [ meekly ] Yes, ma’am.
Marcia Clark: And you were assigned to ,i>this case?
Kato Kaelin: [ meekly ] Yeah.
Marcia Clark: And you didn’t think there might be a potential conflict?
Kato Kaelin: Uh.. hey, I go where I’m told!
Marcia Clark: You Honor. Please.
Kato Kaelin: Hey, hey, can I say something, you guys? Is this gonna be a long trial? Because I’m shooting, uh.. an “Acapulco Heat” TV show next week.
Marcia Clark: Uh.. Mr. Kaelin, I don’t think there’s much chance that you’re gonna serve on this jury.
Kato Kaelin: Cool.
[ dissolve back to Terry Moran ]
Terry Moran: Later that afternoon, Kato Kaelin was back in court. This time with friend Brian Austin-Green, from “Beverly Hills 90210”.
[ dissolve back to the courtroom, Kato Kaelin entering the courtroom with Brian Austin-Green and other friends ]
Kato Kaelin: You guys! This is the courtroom from when we had the trial! Okay? See where that guy is up there. [ points across the courtroom ] That’s where I testified. And that’s the prosecution, and, uh.. that guy’s Judge Ito.. and there’s O.J.! [ waving ] Hey, dude! What’s up, dude!
Babe: Wow.. there’s a lot of people in here!
Kato Kaelin: Yeahhhhh!
Judge Ito: Uh, Mr. Kaelin? We are in the middle of a court proceeding.
Kato Kaelin: I’m sorry, uh.. Judge Ito – Kristin, Jennifer.. Brian Austin-Green – Judge I-to!
Brian Austin-Green: How you doing?
Judge Ito: How do you do? Uh, Mr. Kaelin.. this is a courtroom. Please sit down and be quiet.
Kato Kaelin: I’m sorry. Okay. [ sits ?? ]
Judge Ito: Not there.
[ dissolve back to Terry Moran ]
Terry Moran: But the real fireworks came on Friday, when long-time Simpson associate Al Cowlins finally took the stand.
[ dissolve back to the courtroom, A.C. Cowlings at the stand ]
Marcia Clark: Would you state your name, please?
A.C. Cowlings: [ yelling each time he’s asked a question ] I’m A.C.! You know who I am, dammit!!
Marcia Clark: Alright, I.. would you tell us your full address, please?
A.C. Cowlings: 2-1-3 Willowcox!! You know where I live, dammit!
Marcia Clark: Uh.. Mr. Cowlings! We’re in a court of law! There’s no reason to shout!
A.C. Cowlings: I KNOW there’s no reason to SHOUT, dammit!! I’m A.C.!
Marcia Clark: No further questions!
[ dissolve back to Terry Moran ]
Terry Moran: Finally, the week ended with Robert Shapiro’s meticulous questioning of the Simpson team’s own DNA expert.
[ dissolve back to the courtroom, A.C. Cowlings still at the stand ]
Robert Shapiro: For those of us who are layman’s, Mr. Cowlings, would you please explain.. what DNA is?A.C. Cowlings: [ yelling ] You KNOW what DNA IS, dammit!! It’s genetic information encoded on a double-helix!!
Robert Shapiro: Now, Mr. Cowlings, may I remind you we are on the same side?
A.C. Cowlings: I know..
Robert Shapiro: So, will you tell us what a double-helix is?
A.C. Cowlings: You KNOW what a double-helix is, dammit!! It’s DNA!! I’m A.C.!! AWWWW, man!!
[ dissolve back to Terry Moran ]
Terry Moran: At that point, Judge Ito called a recess, to allow prosector Marcia Clark to make it to the Viper Room in time to hear Kato Kaelin and Johnny Depp’s new band. I’m Terry moran for Court TV.

Dan Sinaki: Well.. as everyone knows, the Nut-rific candy bar has one key selling point. And that, of course, is.. nuts!
[ everyone shares a hearty laugh at the joke ]
Bruce Riley: Exactly! And we’re talking major nuts! When people think Nut-rific.. they have to think “That’s the candy bar with more nuts.” Remember that, as you listen to your new Nut-rific theme.
[ everyone looks toward the Jingle singers standing against the wall ]
Bruce Riley: Wonderful! Now, we’re going to do the song all the way through the commercial, pretty much just like that, but with kind of a doo-wop cha-cha-cha!
Dan Sinaki: That’s right! That’s right – and we’ll film it at a high school, with all these giant, dancing nuts. You know?
Warner: Excuse me?
Bruce Riley: Yes.
Warner: I’m sorry, but, uh.. why does the jingle say that our candy bar is bad?
Dan Sinaki: [ confused ] Come again?
Executive #1: You seem to be saying that Nut-rific doesn’t taste good.
Bruce Riley: Ah.. and who exactly is saying that?
Executive #1: Well.. you are. The jingle says “Nut-rific is not very good.”
Bruce Riley: Wha..? Oh!
[ Bruce and Dan laugh at the comic misunderstanding ]
Dan Sinaki: No, no, no, no, no, no, no! No, no, no! No! No. It’s.. nut-very good. It’s.. nut..-very good.
[ they continue to laugh ]
Bruce Riley: It’s like it’s.. nut-tastic! Or, or.. nut-licious! But this is “It’s nut-very good.
Executive #1: But won’t our customers misinterpret that?
[ silence in the room, as everyone considers this newfound information ]
Executive #2: I mean.. they’ll think, “Nut-rific is bad? Well.. I don’t want to eat that, I’ll have this candy bar over here..
Bruce Riley: Okay, look, I see, uh.. that there’s a problem here, so, uh.. why don’t we call this to a halt here, and we’ll reconvene in about a week’s time. Uh.. at which point, we’ll have rewritten the jingle, so as to make it, uh.. very clear that, uh.. Nut-rific is indeed a very good candy bar. Agreed? Good.
[ dissolve to exterior view of office building, with SUPER: “One Week Later”; dissolve to interior meeting room ]
Warner: Well, alright. Let’s bring out Bruce and Dan.
[ Bruce and Dan re-enter the conference room ]
Bruce Riley: Okay, thank you, uh.. folks, with your suggestions in mind, I think we’ve worked out the little kinks in our jingle here. So.. without any further ado, your new and improved Nut-rific theme!
[ everyone looks toward the Jingle singers standing against the wall ]
Executive #1: Yeah. Well, that’s even worse than before!
Bruce Riley: [ thinking ] Uhhh.. no. Better! You mean it’s better that before?
Executive #1: No! Worse before! It sounds like “It does not taste good!”
Warner: Exactly.
Bruce Riley: [ sighs heavily ] O-kay.. uhhhh, look. I have been writing commercial jingles for quite some time now.. There are those who would suggest I’m rather good at that job! Hence, the 1992 Mercury Sabre parked outside!
Dan Sinaki: [ trying to calm Bruce down ] Alright, alright, alright..
Bruce Riley: I have made some money in this business..!
Dan Sinaki: Let me set the scene. Alright? Please. [ setting up the scene ] It’s Prom Night.. at the All-Nut high school. And all the nut kids, they’re trading high fives, they’re saying, “It does nut taste good!” “It does nut taste good!”
Dan Sinaki: Uh.. Bruce and I talked about it, and.. we’re gonna have another crack at this.
Bruce Riley: [ sarcastic ] Yeah.. we’re just gonna go back and fix what ain’t broke!
Dan Sinaki: [ laughing ] Maybe the third time will be the charm!
[ dissolve to exterior view of office building, with SUPER: “One Week Later”; dissolve to interior meeting room ]
Dan Sinaki: Without further ado.. your new, new.. Nut-rific theme.
[ everyone looks toward the Jingle singers standing against the wall ]
Back-up Jinglers: “Outragrous Nut-tastic!More nuts, more nu-uts!
Lead Jingler: It’s just got more nuts!
[ jingle ends ]
Executive #2: [ pleased ] Yes!
Warner: Thank you very much! That’s exactly what we’ve been talking about!
Dan Sinaki: Whoa, whoa, whoa.. I-I’m sorry, this is a little embarrassing, but that-that.. that was something we were working on for the Creedmore Psychiatric Institute.
Bruce Riley: Yes. You, uh.. you weren’t supposed to hear that one..
Dan Sinaki: No, no.. This is your jingle..
[ everyone looks toward the Jingle singers standing against the wall ]
Lead Jingler: It’s not something you’d want to put in your mouth!
[ jingle ends ]
Executive #1: Okay, that’s it, we’ve heard enough! I mean, this isn’t working out here!
Bruce Riley: Oh, well that’s just great!
Dan Sinaki: Hey, listen, we have met you more than halfway!
Bruce Riley: Need I remind you it was not our idea to rewrite the jingle in the first place!
Executive #1: Enough!! Out! Out! Out!
[ dissolve to exterior view of office building, with SUPER: “One Week Later”; dissolve to interior meeting room ]
Jingle Writer: So, once again, on behalf of our entire agency, I apologize for Bruce and Dans’ incompetence. And, from now on, I’ll be handling your campaign personally. and I think you’re gonna love what I’ve done with the Nut-rific theme.
[ everyone looks toward the Jingle singers standing against the wall ]
Steve Martin: Thank you, thank you! I am so excited to be hosting the first show of the 20th season of “Saturday Night Live”! [ audience applauds ] When Lorne called me, I told him I was so flattered that you asked me.. I mean, there’s so many people you could have asked – Tom Hanks, what an exciting summer he’s had.. or Jim Carrey, the new and exciting comedy star. And Lorne said, “Well.. they passed.”
But it’s great to be here back live in front of people. I mean, I love doing movies, because.. well, the movies are very important to our lives. I can still remember sitting in a darkenedmovie theater with my arm around 17-year old Mary Jo Rasmussin, trying to get to first base. I can even remember the name of the movie: “The Lion King”.
But.. this is what I really love – standing up live in front of people. So, I wrote a little comedy monologue, and, uh.. I hope you like it! So, here it goes.
[ clears throat ] Have you ever been shopping? Well, uh.. the other day, ah.. I was in the supermarket, and I’m pushing the.. cart down the aisle.. [ laughs ] ..and you know how tough that can be! With those.. crazy carts! And I turn the corner, and I’m in the aisle.. with the soups! Well! There’s so many different varieties of soup, you know, I really can’t make up my mind! Because it’s, like, a whole area.. of.. soup! [ laughs ]
[ Steve freezes in place, as his inner self emerges to evaluate the situation ]
Steve’s Inner Self: Oh.. boy, oh boy.. this supermarket bit is dying! How can it be so bad? I mean.. when did I come up with this supermarket bit? [ thinking ] Hmm..?
[ dissolve to footage of Steve pushing a cart at the supermarket, with his two bodyguards in tow. He stops in the soup aisle, and loads his cart with soup. Close-up on Steve’s face as a realization hits him. ]
Steve Martin: I’ve got my monologue!
[ cut to Steve discussing the idea with SNL’s writing staff ]
Steve Martin: ..And I’m at the checkout stand.. and I’ve got a cart.. filled.. with soup! Because I couldn’t decide on which kind! And the cashier’s looking at me, you know, like I’m crazy!
[ SNL’s writers laugh politely ]
Steve Martin: Doesn’t that sound funny!
[ cut to Steve explaining the set-up to an NBC Page ]
Steve Martin: ..Me in a supermarket, and I’m trying to buy some soup. But there’s so many different varieties, you know? I don’t know which one to buy! So I’m loading up the cart – does that sound funny to you?
NBC Page: [ politely ] That sounds.. very funny..!
[ cut to Steve explaining the monologue to Lorne Michaels ]
Steve Martin: So, first I talk about, you know, it’s an aisle completely filled with soup! Big laugh.
Lorne Michaels: Ri-ight.
Steve Martin: Then I do.. the names of the soups. You know – laugh, laugh, laugh, applause.
Lorne Michaels: Right.
Steve Martin: Now, here’s my question. Which is funnier – chicken with rice.. or gumbo.
Lorne Michaels: [ thinking ] Gumbo.
Steve Martin: Chicken gumbo.. or just plain gumbo?
Lorne Michaels: Just plain gumbo.
Steve Martin: [ pleased ] Yeahhh.. [ laughs ] Yea-ha-ha-yeahhh!
[ dissolve back to Steve performing his bad monologue in front of the audience ]
Steve Martin: ..And.. gumbo! [ continues ] So, now, I’m back at the cashier.. and she’s looking at me like I’m nuts! You know! So much soup!
[ Steve freezes in place again, as his inner self once again emerges to evaluate the situation ]
Steve’s Inner Self: Oh, my God! I told him not to do this bit! Now he’s going to be depressed all week. I know how it is.. he’s going to be moping around the house, and then he’s going to get out tapes of his old films, and we’re going to have to look at them, over and over and over! “Oh, I was good in “The Jerk”, wasn’t I?” Oh, yeah, you were really good in that – fourteen YEARS ago!! And then he’s gonna go on and on and on about the summer movies, you know? “I was this close to getting that part in “True Lies” – this close! But, noooo! They don’t think of me that way! No, they don’t think of me as an “action” star! No! They have to go cast Jamie Lee Curtis!
Well.. stick around, we have a great show. Eric Clapton is here.. Idiot is here! We’ll be right back.
Wife: I’ve got this pain in my forehead that goes all the way to the base of my neck! It feels like I have a headache – but now can I be sure.
Husband: I feel fine. But what if I have a really bad headache – and don’t know it?
[ cut to Spokesman ]

HHt – the first At-Home Headache Test available in the United States. To use the home headache test, simply draw a moderate amount of blood. Place it in the centerfuge. Put a drop on the tester strip. And wait two hours. If the spot turns blue, you have a headache. If the spot turns green, you don’t. If the spot turns purple, results are inconclusive; try again, with a larger blood sample. Convenient.. safe, if properly performed.. and up to 80% accurate.
[ cut to Wife clutching her head in pain ]

Husband: [ holding results strip ] Honey, you don’t have a headache.
Wife: Oh, thank God!
Husband: [ looks at second strip ] Neither do I!
[ they giggle happily ]
