contestants and hosts

This collection of skits from Saturday Night Live doesn't have many good laughs, but there are some redemptive performers.

In "Jackie Rogers Jr's $100,000 Jackpot Wad", Billy Crystal does an accurate Sammy Davis Jnr, and Martin Short is a campy buck-toothed host. In "Dysfunctional Family Feud", Phil Hartman is amusing as the Dad. In "Celebrity Jeopardy", Ben Stiller is hilarious as Tom Cruise and Jimmy Fallon does a good Adam Sandler. And, in "Jeopardy 1999!" (based on a cross between Star Trek and Space 1999) some of the questions have wit. I also liked the line about the prize Dial a Blank Electro-Shock Kit - "So effective, you won't remember you own one".

Also the take-off "Death Row Bloopers and Practical Jokes" has some (admittedly) poor taste jokes, which gave me a chuckle.
