That joke would have flowed better as "HBK, Mr. Religious, probably learned how to speak that jive from Reverend Slick" or something so that you weren't answering your own question with it's suitable punchline. Also, since the skit itself was a bit of an Airplane! reference, a good "Surely those two might have tickets." "Yes, they might, and don't call me Shirley" would have been appropriate, albeit overused.
"It looks like I picked the wrong day to stop watching Heroes" would also be acceptable.
