[indyvknife]

he's looking at cue cards you morons

[Zeusest]

@indyvknife Your right indyvknife. There was a behind the scenes to SNL when I learned that the script is many times rewritten right up 2 the beginning of the skit. So, there is not the time required 2 remember the lines as many if not all the A-list actors r used 2 doing. In some cases it detracts from the focus & other times it shows just how LIVE the program actually is. At any rate,

[a7lajasuka]

Why the hell are they not looking at each other

[a7lajasuka]

i love how christopher is doing the impression of himself hahahah

[zackdoesblogs]

I love how Walken never looks anyone in the eyes when he's on SNL. Oh, and how funny he is.

[imthetube44]

@zackdoesblogs I kept wondering, why is that? whats he looking at?

[xphobe]

You recorded this by camming a TV screen? Really? This is the 21st century - get a video capture card.

[javenetti]

What's.....what's Walken looking at?

[Zeusest]

@javenetti The cue-cards. There was a behind the scenes to SNL when I learned that the script is many times rewritten right up 2 the beginning of the skit. So, there is not the time required 2 remember the lines as many if not all the A-list actors r used 2 doing. In some cases it detracts from the focus & other times it shows just how LIVE the program actually is. At any rate,

[ronniemurga]

a clear sign that SNL has gone down the shitter. they sound more like a bunch of hasidic jew mad scientists than frank white

[alansmisclass]

That was hilarious! Especially the girl with the doll.

[Zeusest]

@alansmisclass I agree! Amy Poehler's such a funny comedian/actor and a little spooky! Amy Meredith Poehler play /ˈpoʊlər/ (born September 16, 1971) is an American comedian, actress and voice actress. She was a cast member on the NBC television entertainment show Saturday Night Live from 2001 to 2008. In 2004, she starred in the film Mean Girls with Tina Fey, with whom she worked again in Baby Mama in 2008. She is currently the lead of NBC's comedy Parks and Recreation.

[Zeusest]

She has been nominated twice for both the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for her performance on Saturday Night Live, and for the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for her performance in Parks & Recreation. Thanks Wikipedia!

@lovelikerazorblade Now that was funny! Kenan Thompson, a Nigerian foreign exchange student named Oleki. When he came to live with them, Oleki—who has absorbed all of the Walken Family traits—could not speak any English. But now (he says) he "talks like a normal teenaged American boy." That is simply good writing! I bet they had fun writing this sketch.

[spongedom96]

wow its like ya lookin right through my noggin!

[botOxymoron]

I love this xD Its like a contest of WHO CAN BE MORE WALKEN.

[wachiinn]

why does walken ALWAYS reads the lines so obviously

[johnkendall123]

Yeah really sad.. you stupid pricks.. these guys WORK al their lives on movies, and shows to entertain you dumb bastards sitting on your couch!! You don't have half the fucking talent anyone one that stage has, and if you did, you would be up there, so shut the fuck up, and give your mum a foot rub you douche bags.

[Zeusest]

Not sure about the tone John, but u do have a good point. The SNL actors have worked their entire lives 2b the best of the best. Then, they have 2 pass through layers of talent scouts & ultimately the quality of control Lorne Michaels. He would not put SNL player on amateurs. He is SNL and SNL is who he is. It would not have lasted 36 seasons with 702 episodes with many major motion pictures, books, dozens upon dozens of characters that r known worldwide without a quality standard of excellence.

[Zeusest]

@johnkendall123 WOW! It's like your looking right into my Noggin! Wow!!!

[TheGB1950]

They all have his hair due.

[RudiKongurinUB]

Jay Mohr should really be in this skit.

[thomashester2]

@RudiKongurinUB and kevin spacey

[kodyxxbrewer]

Good impressions but it sucks that the cast of Saturday night live can't memorize lines because all they did during that skit was read of a teleprompter. Pretty sad

[AdmireRoxtars]

@kodyxxbrewer well, If you look at all the skits with the real Christopher Walken you would notice that he reads of of cue-cards or a teleprompter all the time. so they are just parodying him :)

[kfsfkakf]

It kinda sounds like Walken is doing an impression of himself

[Zeusest]

Yes demiselenarocks10, you are right. There was a behind the scenes to SNL when I learned that the script is many times rewritten right up 2 the beginning of the skit. So, there is not the time required 2 remember the lines as many if not all the A-list actors r used 2 doing. In some cases it detracts from the focus & other times it shows just how LIVE the program actually is. At any rate, SNL is & has been always at the top of my favorite TV comedy programs! THX 4 the comment demiselenarocks10!

[TheBoondockSaint17]

@Zeusest dude you are so wrong. Seth meyers has said that is just how walken does it.

[demiselenarocks10]

it looks like Christopher W. is looking at cue cards behind the one guy at 0:30 - 0:59

:) no offense

[Shaddowkhan]

Wuwow Firurst..... good stuff funny skit
