I thought I had Darling in there. He actually appeared twice.

It's the 25th anniversary of the night in 1997 that Todd Hundley led a parade of major leaguers out of Chris Kattan's closet on Saturday Night Live, and the Ringer tells the sketch's oral history, featuring remembrances from Todd Zeile, Gregg Jefferies and Cliff Floyd.

Jefferies: During rehearsals it was easy, but then all of a sudden that red light comes on and it's like, holy cow, it's legit. In New York we would do commercials, so I was lucky with that. But that was the first time I did anything like that. When I first got to New York, I think I was 19, they wanted me to host Saturday Night Live. And I said, there's no way. I turned that down. I was terrified with that. Floyd: I think maybe I took a drama class, just to pass some class in high school, but nothing to the extent of reading a card and actually having a camera on you and trying to act out and remember one part: “Hey, you got any food? Where's the food?” Whatever I said. It felt like the script was a page long where there was only four words, and I was sweating my ass off trying to remember when to do it and how to do it. I was just saying to myself, “If I can't memorize this, I mean, good luck.”

Was this past mission the one that launched you to the Moon?

Awesome. Just awesome.



I enjoyed that oral history of the Hundley sketch, but that ain't goin' to the moon.

Half of this is worthwhile.

Is there a Mets loving big shot thread anymore?

Chris Christie should hire someone to dress him. He looks like 10 pounds of sausage stuffed into a five pound casing.

Considering George's issues (I'm not sullying the name of President Matthew Santos), I'd wager that was just bandwagoning to curry favor with a bloated GOP “outsider that acts like an insider.”

[Lefty Specialist]

Considering George's issues, I'd bet he's actually a die-hard Yankee fan. Or has no concept of baseball whatsoever.

Similar to Hillary's conveniently-discovered-when-she-was-running-for-NYS-Senate NYY fandom.
