Cold Open | senators question Clarence Thomas (Tim Meadows) & give him some harassing tips | |
Opening montage | In the original live East Coast broadcast of this episode, Don Pardo’s timing is wildly off throughout the entire opening montage. He announces everybody’s names either way too late or way too early. He especially has a rough time during the long list of featured players. When the shot of Tim Meadows comes up, Pardo completely blanks and just stays silent during the shots of the next few featured players (Sandler, Schneider, Spade). Then after the shot of David Spade, Pardo tries to catch up by quickly spitting out “Adamsandlerrobschneiderdavidspade” in rapid succession without taking a breath, leaving out poor Tim. The version online is the West Coast tape-delayed “live” airing from that night, in which they replace Pardo’s botched announcing with his flawless announcing from dress rehearsal. | |

Weekend Update with Kevin Nealon | Chris Rock says Clarence Thomas is guilty of nothing more than bad pick-up lines; Victoria Jackson’s erudite term limits commentary turns out to have been ghost-written; and Phil Perry (Rob Schneider) voices athletes’ thoughts during baseball highlights |
