you people watching comedy channel reruns need to get a life

the ironic part of that skit was, he wasn't good, he wasn't smart, and no one liked him, that's what made it funny

I was beginning to think you had no sense of humor, but you actually got the joke that is Stuart Smalley.

Careful there, you're not rejecting him.

ok, he was perfectly cast for one role, someone who's no good, not smart and people don't like... but after he played that role 2 times he had no where else to go

Because I'm good enough,
I'm smart enough
and dog-gone-it people like me.


Best skit by far is the one with Michael Jordan!
Great stuff

I'm dating myself, but I think it was the 88 presidential race, he played Democrat Paul Simon. "And that's why I wear.... the bow ...tie" Hilarious.

So LC, do you not like him because of his work on the show or his politics?
