Jamie Lee Curtis’ Monologue

…..Jamie Lee Curtis

Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen – Jamie Lee Curtis!

Jamie Lee Curtis: Thank you. [ the audience can’t stop cheering and applauding ] Far out! Far out! I’ve gotta tell you all it is absolutely great to be here, and I finally have something to do on a Saturday night!

You know, I gotta tell you, one thing I’ve always seem to notice is that audiences expect certain things from certain performers. They always want Steve Martin to say, “I’m a wild and crazy guy!” Right?And you can never hear Springsteen sing, without hearing “Born To Run.” Right?

Male Audience Member: Right!

Jamie Lee Curtis: If you ever see Rodney Dangerfield, you always have to hear him say, “I tell you, I get no respect!” Well.. I know a lot of people out there have seen me in “Halloween” and “The Fog”, and..

[ audience applauds ]

Jamie Lee Curtis: Thank you. And, they’re all expecting me to do one thing. Well.. this is for you:

Aiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!

We’ll be right baaaaack!!

 Episodes:

SummaryConsidered the worst period in SNL’s history, the 1980 season seemed doomed from the start. The last of the original cast (Jane Curtin, Garrett Morris, Laraine Newman and Gilda Radner, not to mention Bill Murray) had left “Saturday Night Live” along with producer Lorne Michaels, and NBC promoted talent co-ordinator Jean Doumanian to take over the show and hire a new cast. Though Doumanian’s comedy expertise was practically nonexistent, she did manage to bring an eclectic collection of musical guests to the show during her short stint as producer. The new cast, which included eventual stars Denny Dillon and Gilbert Gottfried, had the misfortune of being the first new cast since the original cast, a transition which has since become easier on future eras of SNL.

Joe Piscopo and Eddie Murphy became the quick standouts (Murphy, especially, who started as an extra, became a featured performer, then was promoted to full cast member – all during the course of a 13-episode season) in a seemingly awkward cast. Doumanian was fired and replaced by Dick Ebersol after the season’s 12th broadcast. But even then it was too late for most of the cast, as a writer’s strike took place after Ebersol’s first broadcast.

Charles Rocket – billed as the next Chevy Chase, especially behind the reins of Weekend Update – was fired for saying “fuck” on the air, and everyone except Murphy and Piscopo were released soon after as well. 1980 was the most awkward season in SNL’s history, but look closely, and you’ll find a few bright moments in a period of SNL that was weighed down by its own success.

Detective: You’re saying he’s — ?

Captain: Yes, I am! Only one person can be responsible for such a GHASTLY crime! Only ONE man could be so CRUEL, so VICIOUS, so SADISTIC! As long as he’s loose, no woman is safe. I’m talking about… [ he faces the camera for a quick zoom ] The Accordian Killer!

Chuck LeVinto: It really is amazing! ‘Cause, like… well… you like movies, a-and I like movies. Aaaand you like music, and I LOVE music! We were MADE for each other!

Susan: I hope so.

Chuck LeVinto: I-I-I do impressions! Do you want to hear one?

Susan: Sure.

Chuck LeVinto: This one’s my favorite — it’s my main guy, Lawrence Welk: “Tank you, tank you, tank you! That was Bobby and Cissum, with his musical tribute to World War Eye!”

[ she laughs pleasantly ]

Chuck LeVinto: A-and now it’s time for an accordian tune!

Susan: Wait! Wait, I know who you are! I read about you in the papers! Please don’t hurt me! I’ll give you all my money! I promise I won’t tell anyone!

Chuck LeVinto: But the accordian… is a NICE instrument! [ maniacally stroking the accordian ] It’s a fine instrument! It’s a BAND by itself!

Susan: PLEASE!! NO, NO!! DON’T! PLEASE! NO!

Chuck LeVinto: Perhaps you’d like to hear “Lady of Spain”!

Susan: NO!!!

[ he begins to play the meddlesome tune ]

Susan: NO, NO!! PLEASE, DON’T!

[ she holds her ears, but still drops dead to the floor as Chuck smiles satisfactorily ]

[ dissolve to Captain’s office, as he shakes his head while reading the murder report in the newspaper ]

Detective: Looks like The Accordian Killer has struck again.

Captain: [ thrusting the paper on his desk ] Poor girl didn’t have a chance!

Detective: How can we stop him?

Captain: We’ve got to set a TRAP! And I think we’ve got JUST the right person for that.

Chuck LeVinto: [ stumbling ] You know, I haven’t missed a single “Lawrence Welk Show”! Ever NEVER!

Gail: [ setting the trap ] I really like his music!

Chuck LeVinto: [ surprised ] You do? Maybe you’d like to hear a song on the accordian.

Gail: I’d love to!

Chuck LeVinto: D-do you have a special song?

Gail: Uh — “Lady of Spain”, of course!

Chuck LeVinto: “L-L-L-Lady of Spain”?!

[ he begins to play the meddlesome tune ]

[ Gail covers her ears and shudders, then jumps up and points a gun at Chuck ]

Gail: Alright, that’s enough!! I’m with the police! Yuor playing days are over!

Chuck LeVinto: [ ignoring her ] You can’t make me stop!

Gail: Alright, I’m warning you!

[ Chuck inores her and continues playing the accordian ]

Gail: OKAY, GUYS!!! GET HIM!!!

[ suddenly, a trio of bagpipe players saunter into the apartment playing their noisy tune ]

Chuck LeVinto: [ crying, as he continues to play the accordian ] NO!!! NOT THAT MUSIC!! PLEASE!! MAKE IT STOP!!! NOOOOOO!!!!

[ Chuck drops his accordian and topples dead over the ottoman ]

[ the bagpipe players cease their playing, as the Captain rushes in ]

Captain: Are you alright?

Gail: Fine.

Captain: I’m sorry we had to do it this way. But maybe this will convince people once and for all… that EVERY accordian is a lethal weapon! [ to the bagpipe players ] Take care of it, guys!

[ Gail and the Captain exit the apartment, as the bagpipe players begin to attack Chuck’s accordian with their hatchets ]

[ pull out to wideshot, with SUPER: “There’s no abyssness like show abyssness.” ]

Elliot Gould: Oh, relax. What are they gonna do, start without us?

[ camera pans back to reveal new cast member, Charles Rocket, asleep at Gail’s right ]

Elliot Gould: You’re gonna do just fine on this show. You’re sort of a cross between.. [ thinking ] Gilda.. and Jane.

Gail Matthius: [ she smiles, as Charles cuddles closer to her ] Oh, hi, Charlie. [ he begins to nibble her ear ] Don’t! Oh, don’t!

Elliot Gould: Hey, how’s it going?

Elliot Gould: Suuuuure. They all did. Cocaine was everywhere. And not just the cast – the studio crew, the cameramen, everybody.

Joe Piscopo: Tell us about Belushi.

Elliot Gould: John? Oh, well, he was the worst! He’d come into the studio with a big bag of coke in his pocket, and he’d ask you to have some. And if you didn’t want any, he’d push you down on the floor and Aykroyd would hold your head between his legs and they’d sort of, uh, jam in up your nostrils!

[ the cast reacts both with horrir and intrigue ]

Ann Risley: Well, what do you know about Tom Snyder? I mean, is he really as big as he looks on television?

Gail Matthius: Yeah.

Elliot Gould: Well, he thinks he’s big when he gets a little bit of toot up his nose.

Joe Piscopo: Snyder?

Elliot Gould: Well, how else do you think he stays up so late? And all the rest of them – Roger Mudd, Tom Brokaw, Edwin Newman – they all snort a few lines before they go on! Except, uh – Brinkley. I think he’s into downers.

Charles Rocket: That’s incredible.

Elliot Gould: Hey, listen – wait ’til you see, uh — get in the elevator, and there’s Gene Shalit kind of piled in a heap in the corner, completely luded out!

[ new cast member, Gilbert Gottfried, rises from under part of the bedsheets sprawled onto the floor ]

Gilbert Gottfried: You mind holding it down? [ he stands – for some reason, a pair of pantyhose is wrapped around his neck ]

Elliot Gould: Let me guess – let me guess —

Gilbert Gottfried: Uh, Gilbert Gottfried. [ sits on the edge of the bed ] I’m kind of a cross between John Belushi and.. that guy from last year – he did the Ron Serling, nobody could remember his name?

Elliot Gould: Harry.

Gilbert Gottfried: [ pulls the pantyhose off of his neck ] Yeah. Hey, hey, where’s, uh – Denny?

Charles Rocket: I don’t know. Where is she?

American Cancer Society

Spokeswoman…..Gail Matthius

Spokeswoman: Hello! I’m from the American Cancer Society, with an important message for all women.

You know, breast cancer used to be a taboo subject, especially on TV. But, fortunately, today we are able to talk about it freely and openly. Learning how to examine your breasts can help save your life. There’s a simple procedure for dong this, which I will now demonstrate. Please watch carefully, observing all my movements.

[ she unbuttons her blouse and rips it off, as a black bar covers her full frontal ]

Spokeswoman: [ touching her breasts behind the black bar ] Begin here… touching this. Use this to probe that. Check to see if there’s anything like that. Then glide that along like this, like that, to see if there’s anything like this or that. Next, flex this firmly, while pressing that. Then flex this while pressing that. Finally, squeeze this between this and that. And that will look like this. Do not do this like this… or these will look like this. Do this like that, and that will look like this. And, lastly, one word of warning: If anything like… this… looks anything like… that… consult your doctor immediately. That could be fatal.

Thank you!

Amy Carter: Daddy! The debates! Remember when you and Mr. Reagan stood up in front of the TV camera, and Mr. Reagan looked so calm and relaxed, and.. you looked so TENSE and MEAN!

[ open on title card ]

[ dissolve to Tom Morris ]

Tom Morris: Welcome to “At One With…” I’m your host, Tom Morris. The Supreme Court recently ruled that homosexuals should be allowed to serve in the Armed Forces. To see how the military is adjusting to this ruling, we’ve invited a man who’s been in the Army for the past twenty years. His name is Sgt. Steve Brick.

[ pull out to reveal a frowning Sgt. Steve Brick seated next to Tom Morris ]

Sgt. Brick, how do you feel about the recent court ruling on the decision for homosexuality?

Sgt. Steve Brick: Well, uh, naturally, I didn’t care for it. But it is the law! And, uh, we’ve gotta let ’em in, well, hell! We’ve gotta let ’em in!

Tom Morris: But does the Army have any special plans for new homosexual recruits?

Sgt. Steve Brick: We’ve decided that these people work to the best of their ability in their own environment. That’s why we’ve formed a special Gay Brigade.

Tom Morris: I see. Will their training be any different?

Sgt. Steve Brick: Uh – a little different. I’ve brought someone along to, uh, show you that today’s Army is not afraid to change. [ stands, walks over to a gay recruit, standing straight ] This is Cpl. Peter Thomas. [ leans into his face and yells: ] Thomas, are you a homosexual?!

Cpl. Peter Thomas: Yes, SIR!!

Sgt. Steve Brick: You ever have any heterosexual thoughts?!

Sgt. Steve Brick: Whose picture DO you have in your locker?!

Cpl. Peter Thomas: Cary Grant, SIR!!

Sgt. Steve Brick: Who else?!

Cpl. Peter Thomas: Just Grant, SIR!!

Sgt. Steve Brick: [ to Tom ] Obviously, this man is a homosexual. The next thing we like to teach them is: restraint! [ turns back to Cpl. Peter Thomas ] You’re a homosexual?!

Cpl. Peter Thomas: Yes, SIR!!

Sgt. Steve Brick: Can you restrain those tendancies?!

Cpl. Peter Thomas: Yes, SIR!!

Sgt. Steve Brick: Are you sure?!

Cpl. Peter Thomas: Yes, SIR!!

Cpl. Peter Thomas: No, SIR!!

Sgt. Steve Brick: You mean to tell me you wouldn’t want to plant your lips on mi-ine?!

Cpl. Peter Thomas: No, SIR!!

Sgt. Steve Brick: You wouldn’t want to ram your tongue down my throat, Soldier?!

Cpl. Peter Thomas: No, SIR!!

Sgt. Steve Brick: [ turns back toward Tom ] This! Is a trained soldier!
