Steve J. Rogers 0 Report post Posted December 6, 2005 There was one that I wonder what they were thinking When Dennis Miller joined the Monday Night Football crew, SNL HAD to do a bit. Well Will Farrell ended up doing Dan Fouts, and I guess Fouts is such a straight, no frills, no schtick commentator the only thing Will ended up doing was making Fouts "Captain Obvious" where his comments were the most basic comments of football. Like "Well if the quarterback is able to give the ball to the running back, or throws it to a receiver or tight end, they will score a touchdown!" Well the audience must have been filled with shills that night because it got quite a few laughs. Either than or they all had no clue who Dan Fouts is and thought that really is what Fouts is like Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dandy 0 Report post Posted December 6, 2005 Fouts was made fun of similarly in "The Waterboy." Perhaps it is an accurate exaggeration of him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MDH257 0 Report post Posted December 6, 2005 I remember wondering why they didn't wait a week because Jimmy Fallon played Miller, but the next week Dana Carvey was hosting and he does a great impression of DM. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mecha Mummy 0 Report post Posted December 6, 2005 Jimmy Fallon is actually a pretty decent impressionist. I was always surprised that they didn't quite use him to his fullest potential in that respect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Special K 0 Report post Posted December 6, 2005 (edited) Actually, the Monday Night team says lots of things like that too. I've heard Madden say many times something like the following: "They've really got to run here. They've been having success all day with the running game, and they'll have to keep doing so." *Play-action pass, first down* "See, what they did there was really smart!"

Did Barron fuck your dog or something? I like that sketch too, but Jaysis. Edit: What are the name of some sketches with whoever doing his Tony Danza impression? That's the only thing I've seen on SNL in two years that's made me laugh, but GOD it made me laugh. How many Lance Armstrongs would it take to beat Neo in Matrix Reloaded? I say three.
