Comedy was a big part of my childhood. Not a day goes by that I don’t remember fondly some or other bits of comedic brilliance from sometime between, say, 1975 and 1985.
Today, I found myself – for reasons I don’t entirely remember – reminiscing about Chevy Chase’s and Garrett Morris’s brilliant recap of the news for the hearing impaired. I was able to find one clip on YouTube to share with THGITW while we were talking about this. But at the end of my day, with a few moments in front of my computer, I found this one, which is better. Because it combines two of my favorite Saturday Night Live memories – Garrett Morris’s interpretation of the news, and the death of Generalissimo Francisco Franco.
