SNL: The Best Of Ronald Reagan
birddogger
be your sketch choices? Here's a few of mine:
Cold opening: Robin Williams as Reagan being fed his press conference
lines via earpiece, which later malfunctions so he is repeating words
heard off police/radio/TV transmissions.
(credits – "The Best Of Ronald Reagan", featuring stop-action montages
of Hartman, Quaid, Shearer, Piscopo, Williams, etc.)
The sketch where Ron is trying to play mediator between Nancy and
someone in the Reagan cabinet who dissed her that week (can not
remember for the life of me who it was - George Schultz maybe?). At
the end, Ronnie walks out, and Nancy looks at the guy and says "Do you
think he knows?", implying that they are having an affair.
One of the Piscopo "Reagan's Eye View" sketches with Tony Rosato as Ed
Meese. What was the one where Meese removed the souvenier hat Ronnie
was wearing and said "Take off that stupid thing"? Was that from a
visit to Epcot or something? That was one of the more memorable ones.
"Back To The Future" – Ron Reagan, Jr. goes back in time to convert
his father from a Democrat to a Republican.
Hard-Ball Reagan - Phil Hartman as Reagan, whose clueless nice-guy
public image is apparently just a front for a driven, ruthless,
power-mad and extremely intelligent world leader.
bumper to commerical: slightly edited version of the Ron Reagan, Jr.
sketch at the White House while the folks are away ("Risky Business"
parody).
musical performance: Men At Work doing "It's A Mistake" ("They've gone
and grabbed ol' Ronnie...")
A sketch showcasing Terry Sweeney as Nancy (someone please recommend)
The Nancy Reagan/Barbara Bush sketch where Nancy (Hooks) has trouble
leaving the White House.
"Invasion of the Body Snatchers" (1980) – doesn't feature anyone
portraying Reagan, but it's a document of the Gipper's campaign where
Reagan "pods" are given to voters as souveniers. The pods take over
the voters' minds and persuade them to vote for Reagan. Features Paul
Shaffer as a young hippie singing "Blowin' The Wind" with the lyrics
"The answer my friend, is Ronald Rea-ea-gan, the answer is Ronald
Rea-ea-gan."
Any other decent ones I've missed?
Dr. Tom B. Whatever
going to commercial.

That was the sketch with the Firesign synch, though I can't recall
specificly if he went back in time to convert his father.

One of my favorites from the Sweeney era was when Ron was giving a
press conference and Nancy started daydreaming she was in some
nightclub act singing "That Old Black Magic."

Firesign sync? Not sure what you mean there. Explain please.
He definitely went back to convert his father, and part of the joke
was that he did it in record time. After Ron Sr. adamantly declares
his allegiance to the Democratic party, Ron Jr. gives a quick
explanation of Reaganomics, to which the elder Reagan replies, "Well,
now that you put it that way..."

"It says that on your shoes."

Listen to 'How Can You Be In Two Places At Once When You're Not Anywhere At
All' by Firesign Theater, the 2nd. side, specificly.
