The talent comes in making this so real with the camera, sound guy, and cue card guy there making it so unreal. Walken is a true talent. Continental is one of the best skits on SNL ever.
i love this christopher walken skit he did so awsome he hosted snl 3 more times.... one of the best actors ever... he could do it all comedy, horror, gangsta, love, everything... u guy's gotta see the other snl skit with christopher. i think its called LOVERS with Will Ferrell
@zeroeman Yeah - love that one too! But then - Will is my all time hero anyway - just think of Harry Caray, Blue Oyster Cult (The cowbell sketch), The H. is O., Neil Diamond, Spartan Cheerleaders, Family Portrait, Robert Goulet or Mr. Tarkanian... and not to forget his movies: Did you watch "The Other Guys"?
@maraseque ,,,, yes i did.... and to tell you the truth. i thought it was gonna be bad but it ended up being a funny as movie.... the rock and samuel l jackson were funny as well ......
*LMBO* This was always one of my favorite sketches (right up there with Darrell Hammond as Jesse Jackson) but I never imagined the camera guy wearing a wig!!! Seeing it from this vantage just made Walken even more hilarious!!!
One of things that makes Christopher Walken so great on SNL is that he almost always reads his lines. It just wouldn't be as funny and awkward sounding if he didn't read them. What a guy!
The creepiest, weirdest , very comical and one of the most talented actors to perform on SNL. I suspect that he could have danced "The Continental" (given the right partner).
Don't you think they took most of this from Jerry Lewis' impression on the Colgate Comedy Hour? Look it up! It's funnier than this and Jerry is SO MUCH cuter :) I have it on my favorites and I watch it all the time.
I have to admit you're right - Jerry is the godfather. Still I really appreciate the outstanding choreography and writing of the SNL skit. As for cuteness - you're the expert.
yeah, my parents said it sucked back in the early 90s for a few years. they just need another all star cast member. another will ferrel. they can't ONLY rely on kristen wiig and the digital shorts
All these are brilliant, is SNL being bitches about the copyrights or something? And while we are at it, I want to see "Relapse Guy" with Chris Farley, its nowhere to be found :(
Thank you ! I love it . I've been waiting for any Continental video , but this one is amazing. What a wacky dude.He's got a nice crib. He must be doing something right.I think I'll pour myself some Champagnia and moisturize. You never know who may be knocking on the door .
I think "The Looney Tunes Show" (the recent 2011 show) recently parodied this skit (not as great as the original, if I may add).
