I found it!! I love the particular way she smells her fingers at 1:27. This is my favorite Libby Wolfson skit. Her fingers just happen to be near her nose and she smells SOMETHING, but takes a little longer than usual to smell and look at her fingers. I love to do this at parties. One can only wonder what her fingers smell like. Thanks for another favorite, Franny. Andrea Martin is a comic genius.

@rachel112263 Hey Rachel: this has been up since November 10th! LOL! Oh God, Libby is so wonderfully neurotic.

Well done...thanks for all the SCTV posts! My favourite was always Dusty Towne's Sexy Holiday Special!

Right - Micki Moore...wow, that's stuff you'd be subjected to as a Canadian child at home with a cold in the afternoon. There's one of these shows where there's a guy on as a guest that Libby's really into, competing with Sue Bopper Simpson for his attentions...funny as hell

@MKUltra3: The actual show this skit is based on is called 'You're Beautiful' and it was hosted by Micki Moore, on City TV.

For those who don't know the SCTV backstory, Sue ''Bopper'' Simpson was supposed to have been the widow of the ''Big Bopper,'' the DJ who died with Buddy Holly in a private plane crash. Only the brilliant SCTV writers would have thought that up.

I know a woman who talks/has the same mannerisms as Libby.

Comic gold again from SCTV.

"I got you something...you're big one is coming at Christmas"

classic

Anybody remember the real 70s era show on City in Toronto that was a multi-pillowed feminist-era laff riot? Called 'You Are So Beautiful' or something like that?

And now back to being a Jew.....
