Unsolved Mysteries Spoof on Saturday Night Live - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Awsi Dooger · 05-14-2006, 03:50 AM

Did anyone see it? I caught only the very end, with one of the main actors dressed up as Robert Stack in his trench coat, imitating his voice and then the UM logo on the screen at the end.

I think it was a new episode of SNL since they had Al Gore in a couple of segments and the topics mentioned were current.

Was it on last night, May 13th? I missed it.

I saw that segment last night. Yes, it was a new episode, but it will likely be repeated in two months (at the earliest).

This wasn't the first time Darrell Hammond did an impression of Robert Stack on SNL. The first time was in 1998.

I have to say I missed that one.

Another time SNL spoofed UM was in 1994 with Dan Ackroyd playing Robert Stack. The transcript for the sketch is at:

I was wondering if anyone here was gonna post about this. LOL I caught the whole sketch & thought it was pretty funny.

Saw the show (actually hosted by Julie L Dreyfuss of Seinfeld fame) but missed the segement? Dern it..

See Lifetime there must be people who watch it if NBC is parody-ing it!!!

Time for new shows and full season dvd releases!!!!

I saw the SNL skit too. I was glad to see them doing an Unsolved Mysteries spoof despite the fact that new episodes stopped airing a few years ago.

Ahh! I fell asleep too quickly! It is strange that they are parodying a show long out of producting but nevertheless, it was one of NBC's finest outputs.

Heck, there was even a time where we could say that about SNL ;-)

While I love that SNL is doing parodies of Unsolved Mysteries, I still think the best spoof of UM came from Robert Stack himself. You guys have seen him in BASEketball, right?

My personal favorite is where he's all like, "We still have no f***ing clue where this guy is..."

What rules am I breaking? Do tell.

Well since this is TJ's board his rules go and as its been mentioned on here before he doesn't want people to post links to download clips because it could potentially get SO in trouble. Thats why your posts concerning that were deleted.

Well the subject of not posting links to download clips has been discussed here at length so I didn't feel it necessary to send you a pm explaining why.

That's three straight posts with the first word being "well." Let's feature some variety amidst the awkward tension.
