    One of the funniest skits to ever appear on SNL was based upon an Art Linkletter show from the 50s. Art asks the audience if they would like to come up and play a song on the piano. After cajoling this little old white lady to come up, she says she will play her favorite song. So she does and it lasts about 25 seconds before they pull the feed. One word was changed from this brilliant skit by the under rated Garrett Morris.

    In the 70s, we all cherished ethnic humor still having witnessed the greatest political satire of all time, All in the Family, shock the nation and the world every week. This type of humor now rarely makes it to prime time with the possible exception of Dave Chappelle. Enjoy.
