They did a full 'Best of' for Hartman, since he was killed after they wrapped that season.

I thought I remembered them showing an old Franken & Davis sketch when Tom Davis died, but wiki tells me that was in July 2012, so probably not.

This isn't the same, but I seem to recall they shuffled their reruns so they could re-air the Charles Barkley/Nirvana ep on the first rerun slot after Cobain died.

The SNL oldie they showed at 10:00 featured Hooks prominently. (B52s musical guests)

did anyone notice that in the hollywood game night sketch the crowd screamed suspiciously loud when they introduced "nick offerman"
i think at least a dozen people in the audience didn't realize it was not the real nick offerman
― snrub goin up on a tuesday (J0rdan S.), Monday, 13 October 2014 20:32 (nine years ago) link
Coal miner sketch would've been the funniest thing of the whole episode imo.
The reaction to "Nick Offerman" was indeed weird. I didn't even think the impersonation was all that great, either.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 13 October 2014 20:35 (nine years ago) link
hollywood game night was funny imo but "a succession of absurd celebrity impressions" is SNL's most reliable formula

Strange how the last cast member in the alphabetical roll call was Kevin Nealon.

Loved that diner sketch ("Sexual Tension Diner"), plus Nealon and Hartman being goobers in the background.

watching some of these sketches really reminds me how good the late eighties-early nineties SNL crew was acting wise and chemistry wise. I mean everyone is incredible. jan hooks and nora dunn were so underrated too.

Bill Murray did a monologue when Michael O'Donoghue died, then they showed 12-yo Jodie Foster sitting on MO'D's lap.
i have no idea who Nick Offerman is.

In October 2013, Offerman released a book titled Paddle Your Own Canoe: One Man's Fundamentals for Delicious Living, in which he shares his humorous ruminations on life, manliness, meat, and growing the perfect mustache.

not going to give his name in case people still want to play the game, but featured player i uncharitably described as "big-face" was apparently the first featured player to then be made a staff writer since Brian Doyle-Murray. I could see him playing a lot of referees too.
― da croupier, Tuesday, 14 October 2014 18:31 (nine years ago) link
Big Face has done a few on-camera bits on Late Night with Seth, so he may have made the move over there when Seth exited SNL.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 14 October 2014 18:38 (nine years ago) link
he might be hopping all over 30 rock, but he's still in the mix at SNL. Apparently co-wrote that ad for Whites this season with O'Brien.

I think any sensible person has been with Rob Schneider now, whether it be for his movies or for his recent descent into right wing crackpot buffoonery.
