Roadie: Well.. I’m not much of a dancer. I can do the Robot, though. [ demonstrates ]

Manager: Who are you?

Roadie: I’m a Robot. No, I’m a roadie, my name’s Doug! Can I get you anything?

G-Dog: Yeah, let’s take it. Hey, yo, Phil, somebody ate my Skittles, man!

Manager: I am on it. I am on it. Okay?

G-Dog: Alright. [ Manager steps back ] Let’s do this! [ grabsmicrophone and sings ]

“It’s time to do the Nasty!

It’s time to get naked
’cause my car ran out of gas
Get yourself in the back seat, mamma
‘Cause I’m gonna get some a-ass!

Just drop your pants and do the dance
It’s time to do the Nasty
I’m on my knees and I’m gonna please
It’s time to do the Nasty.

Do the Nasty! Do the Nasty!
Do the Nasty! Do the Nasty!”
Owwww!! [ grabs his back and twitches ]

Roadie: [ runs on stage ] Are you okay, G-Dog?

G-Dog: No! I think I.. think I pulled something in my back!

Roadie: Let me help you out, let me help you..

G-Dog: I’ll be okay, let’s just start again.

Roadie: Okay, G-Dog. [ backs away ]

G-Dog: Alright. Come on, let’s kick this.. [ starts singing again ]

“It’s time to do the Nasty.
Do the Nasty! Do the Nasty!”

Owwww!! [ grabs his back again ] Oh, my God, that hurts!

Manager: [ runs on stage ] What’s up?

G-Dog: My back! It hurts when I do the Nasty!

Manager: G-Dog, you know how important this gig is. It’s New York City, it’s the big time! Now, bad back, or no bad back, you gotta get out there and do the Nasty!

G-Dog: Look.. yo, Phil, the Nasty can wait. I need a doctor, and soon!

[ cut to Medical Center, Dr. Elizabeth Cook, Chiropracter’s office, G-Dog lying on a hospital bed ]

Dr. Cook: ..and your X-rays came back negative. Does it hurt when I do this? [ rubs his back ]

G-Dog: No, doctor, it only hurts when I do the Nasty!

Dr. Cook: What is this “Nasty” you speak of, and how is it done?

G-Dog: Uh.. I.. I can’t do it.. Phil, work it for her.

Manager: Well, it goes like this.. [ dances ] “Do the Nasty! Do the Nasty! Do the Nasty!”

G-Dog: See? It hurts just looking at him.

Dr. Cook: You know, this may sound crazy, but.. maybe your problem is in your mind.

G-Dog: You mean.. psy-cho-so-matic?

Manager: Who, whoa, whoa, wait a second.. G-Dog, you better get your head on straight, brother. ‘Cause if there’s no Nasty Dance, there ain’t no Moolah Dance.

G-Dog: Well, maybe deep down inside I’m fighting to express myreal desire.

Dr. Cook: I’m no psychiatrist, G-Dog, but maybe you should listen to that inner voice.

G-Dog: Yeah.. I need to listen to it. [ ponders thesuggestion ]

[ cut to marquee reading “TLC ALL-FOR-ONE GORDON JONES Formerly G-DOG” ]

Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen – Gordon Jones!

G-Dog: [ onstage ] Okay, dig this! [ starts singing ]

“I just want to be your friend!

Girl, how you doing?
How’s your family?
How’s your little sister
Did she learn her ABC’s?

It’s nice to talk to you
Did you read the book I sent?We can do a lot of things
You listen to me think
Mainly just be friends.

How’s your boyfriend, I hope he’s good
I just want to be your friend!
Let’s go antique shopping, like I know we should.
I just want to be your friend!

Do the Handshake! Do the Handshake!
Do the Handshake! Do the Handshake!

[ the crowd throws vegetables at the stage and boo G-Dog off the stage ]

Manager: That’s it, Gordon! You’re finished in show business! I’m serious, your career is over! I’m serious, your career is over! Over! Over! Over!

[ the sequence fizzles out and is revealed as a dream – Tim Meadows wakes suddenly from this nightmare ]

Tim Meadows: Oh, no! Oh, my God, it was a bad dream!

Cheri Oteri: [ wakes up next to Tim ] Tim, what’s wrong?

Tim Meadows: Cheri, I had this horrible dream that I was in a sketch with a good premise that went nowhere!

Cheri Oteri: Well, that’s okay! It was just a dream! Don’t worry – Lorne would never let a sketch like that on the air. [ turns to her other side, where Lorne Michaels is lying awake ] Would you?

Weekend Update with Norm MacDonald

…..Norm MacDonald
President Bill Clinton…..Darrell Hammond
Lenny the Lion…..Colin Quinn

Announcer: Weekend Update, with Norm MacDonald.

Norm MacDonald: Thank you very much. I’m Norm MacDonald, and now the fake news.

Our top story tonight: Charged by critics with failure to create an exit strategy for Bosnia, a defiant President Clinton, toay, insisted that he has one ready. Should the situation deterioriate, he’ll have all 20,000 troops airlifted to England and smoking pot within 24 hours.

Last week the president vetoed a Republican bill to balance the budget.. and he used a pen that belonged to former President Lyndon Johnson. Clinton has also been working his way through John F. Kennedy’s vast supply of condoms.

In business news, Chrysler has alleged that former chairman Lee Iacocca gave away classified documents to other corporations. According to a spokesperson, Chrysler is deeply concerned that other manufacturers have learned the secret to building crappy cars.

Norm MacDonald: “An American President”, Rob Reiner’s new film starring Michael Douglas and Annette Bening, opened in theaters last week. Here with his review is “Update” movie critic and 42nd President of these United States, Bill Clinton.

President Bill Clinton: Thank you, Norm.. thank you, all. Rob Reiner’s latest film tells the story of a young, idealistic president, who has not only a hostile Congress and a nasty Republican contender to deal with, but also has to raise a 12-year-old daughter on his own, because, you see, his wife is dead. I love this movie!

Norm MacDonald: You really liked it that much, Mr. President?

President Bill Clinton: Norm, from the moment we learn the premise about theyoung president with the dead wife, of the the viewer just falls hook, line and sinker. I mean, Rob Reiner has tapped into what must be every young American’s fantasy: to grow up, to become President, to have your wife die, and be left with the trappings of the office free and unattached. [ laughs ]

Norm MacDonald: Was there anything you didn’t like about the movie, Mr. President?

President Bill Clinton: Well, I thought some of the performances were unconvincing, particularly Martin Sheen as the President’s Chief-of-Staff. He’s done better work.

Norm MacDonald: Uh-huh. And what did you like best about the movie?

President Bill Clinton: The dead wife.

Norm MacDonald: Ah. Now, Mr. President, one thing I wondered about in the movie: would it really be possible for a president to sneak a woman into the White House.. what with all the staff and security, and not have any of them talk to the press?

President Bill Clinton: [ tense ] What did you hear?

Norm MacDonald: Nothing, I didn’t hear anything.. But you know, with that huge staff, surely one of them would talk to the press.

President Bill Clinton: No, seriously, did you hear something?

Norm MacDonald: No, no, I didn’t hear anything. I just wondered if that part of the movie seemed plausible to you.

President Bill Clinton: That’s good.. well..

Norm MacDonald: So, anyway, Mr. President, on a scale of 1 to 10, what would you give this movie?

President Bill Clinton: Norm, I give it a 10!

Norm MacDonald: Wow, that’s more than you gave “Tank Girl”.

President Bill Clinton: I love this movie! [ laughs ]

Norm MacDonald: Alright! President Clinton, everybody!

In a surprise move, O.J. Simpson has offered to give an interview to CNN, with “absolutely no ground rules”. But interviewers Greta van Suster and Ann Roger-Cossack have asked for one – “Dont kill us!”

Across the Great Plains, harsh weather and hungry boll weevils are the cause of one of the worst cotton harvests in years – or so the Germans would have us believe.

Doctors at the University of Pennsylvania Hospital are hard at work developing a new operation to remove an appendix without anesthesia. The operation is exactly the same as the one with anesthesia, with one key difference – it hurts like a bastard!

The New york Public Interest group has unveiled its list of dangerous topys for the upcoming Christmas season. Topping the list this year, Baby’s First Circular Saw.

This week in Minneapolis, the Minnesota Obesity Center offically opened. Its goals – to find ways to identify behaviors that lead to obesity. Also, it’s a good place ot meet fat chicks.

Norm MacDonald: You know, many of the nation’s zoos are facing severe cash-flow problems. Some have even closed. Here to speak for the displaced animals is the King of the Jungle himself – the Lion!

Lenny the Lion: Hello, my name is Lenny, I’m a lion. I’ve been in an out of the zoo since I’ve been 15 years of age. I’m currently due to stand trial for the attempted murder of an ocelet, even though I have a signed letter from my therapist that says I am a natural predator. I’m not trying to make excuses, but I come from a violent background. I watched my father kill a giraffe when I was 2 years old. Two of my brothers were in a pride, they were eventually killed by poachers. I have one sister who lives in Kenya – I haven’t seen her in 20 years.

In the meantime, I’m living in the park, I’ve been stabbed, I’ve been hospitalized with hypothermia – I mean, look at this coat! This doesn’t keep me warm! I’m trying to get into a natural habitat, but there’s a 2-year waiting list. I’ve tried to get a job with the Ringling Brothers, but they won’t hire me because of my record. I’ve been in the system ever since I was brung over here. I did three years in the Columbus Zoo for stalking an ostrich. I’ve done time in the Bronx, in Central Park.. I was in San Diego during the riots. I am currently suing the ASPCA, because when I was transferred to an animal shelter, they shot me full of elephant tranquilizers – I mean, come on, man, do I look like an elephant to you? I became an addict – I just kicked for the ninth time, but I’m clean now.

I don’t want handouts, I will pay back anything you give me.. Marlin Perkins owes me a residual check, it’s at my mother’s house in back in Nirobia – I swear! When I was coming up there in the 70’s, it was different – everybody got along, panthers, cheetahs.. my sister went out with a tiger – we didn’t care, he was a cool guy! So, listen, if you know anyone who’s hiring, I can defned your home.. if your kid’s having problems in school with bullies, I can take care of it for you. Thank you for your time, I appreciate your attention, fur is murder!

Norm MacDonald: The Lion!

Finally, in Connecticut, a mailman on his route was bitten and dragged by a Rottweiler that held on even after police shot it five times. Officers rescued the shaken mailman, who finished his rounds, went back to the post office, and shot ten people.

Norm MacDonald: And that’s the way it is. Enjoy your Sunday, folks! Thanks!

Only the bird’s claws are visible — therest of the bird is off-camera above Nancy and Bill.We hear an occasional screech from the bird and thesteady flapping of its unseen wings. Disgusted andannoyed with each other over their predicament, Nancyand Bill’s entire dialogue consists of theircontemptuous and sarcastic quoting of oneanother:]

Bill: “Just pull out – push out thoseegg-shaped boulders so we’ll have moreroom!”

Nancy: “Oh, look, honey! It’s a giant hangglider!”

Bill: “Oh, honey! We’re so lucky! It’s a bird!And it’s coming right toward us!”

Nancy: “Run for the car! And get the camera!Quick! Like a rabbit!”

Bill: “Whatever you do, try not to scare himaway!”

Nancy: “Maybe if you hold out a piece ofchicken, he’ll come and take it — right out o’your hand!”

Bill: “Honey! Come out of your hiding place!It’s perfectly safe!”

Nancy: “Stop running! It can’t see you when youstand still!”
