Friday Nite With the Church Lady

I thought with all that frightening religious right talk  this week, we deserve a break on this fine Friday nite.

Those Gen-Xers who followed Saturday Nite Live in the ’80s, would have remembered Dana Carvey and all of his characters. My favourite was the Church Lady. No matter which star she’s on with or what is happening, it was always a knee slapper.

It was so hard to choose videos.   But here are some selections.  The first one is a definitely a keeper with Jim and Tammy-Faye Baker following their scandals and being booted off the PTL.

The next one has variety: Danny DeVito getting one over the Church lady, Anne Landers discussing pre-marital sex and Church Lady allowing herself to be touched by Willie Nelson.

How about this keeper with a drunk and ‘Father’ Chevy Chase

This last one  is with Sean Penn while he and an Iranian are guests of the church lady and needless to say, no one particularly likes each other to say the least.

I hope you enjoy this trip down memory lane.

Happy Friday Nite all!
