Jeopardy annoyed me. The answers are supposed to be given in the form of questions, but they are not really. People just say "what is" before the answer. So "Who freed the American slaves" would be answered, "What is Abraham Lincoln." Which is not at all a grammatically correct way to ask a question to which an answer is a person.

Bronwyn Douwsma's "Existentialist Weightlifting" blog says the sketch was written by Tom Davis, Al Franken, Jim Downey, and Robert Smigel. (I can't post the link to that blog here, but it's pretty easy to Google.) I agree that they certainly did a great job writing for Steve Martin. The first three of those writers wrote for SNL during Seasons 2 through 5 when Martin hosted his first 8 times, so I guess they'd learned something about writing for Martin. Smigel didn't come along until Season 11, but he's still one of SNL's greatest writers ever.

@@squirelova1815 You should go volunteer to clean floors in covid wards in hospitals. You would understand that it's real, it's devastating, it's highly potentially deadly, and it's very very contagious if you did that. Please go do that. It's your opportunity to see the truth... IF you can handle the truth.

@@christianorr1059 I absolutely bet that @Squire Lova WILL NOT go volunteer to clean floors in covid wards in hospitals. It's easy to believe something is fake if you never come face to face with it, but much harder if you can see people struggling to breathe with an intubator down their throats. Reality is hard to face sometimes, and there are people who like to hide from it not only by avoiding it but also by loudly claiming it is something that it's not. That's how Demented Donny ended up elected. Too many people just wanted to hide from reality and he encouraged them to.

I like how after "Gold Rush" she just starts listing random dates

Nora Dunn was quite underappreciated

I'll bet Sean Connery would have swept this game. He was a man of uncommon knowledge and a Jeopardy expert.

Usually Phil Hartman was the go-to guy for game show host roles, though Jon did host the game show "Who's Dumber?"

If this is not the greatest SNL sketch ,I don't know what is.

Basically the quality of trivia on carnival cruise line.

In the year 2020, this is so UNFORTUNATELY accurate. God help our Republic!!

That's what she said! Just playing the game as it should be played.

Four score and seven years ago was probably the best beginning of any speach from Jimmy Carter.

this is rather accurate

Even back then they knew the educational system was a joke

Common Knowledge actually IS a real game show, on GSN. Reruns are still airing. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Knowledge_(game_show)

"It's not what you know, it's what you THINK you know."

I LOVE the look on Kevin Nealon's face when Jean gives her second incorrect answer & he's thinkin' : "I got this game in the bag."..

This is actually a legit idea for a show, with the purpose of pointing out the biggest mistakes people make

While known for impersonations, a variety of characters and Garth, Dana Carvy’s turn as a high school doofus may be his finest moment🤣. And God, do I love Victoria Jackson❤️

Playing a ditsy high school student really exercised those acting skills.

The Hamilton question reminded me of an SNL sketch (Common Knowledge) of a similar trivia show. The questions were created by a team of top academics, but the answers were provided by local high schoolers. Brilliant!

It is 2022 and I never saw this sketch before. What a gem, hilarious.

Steve Martin looks the same from 34 years ago

Just to clarify, are you saying SM looks the same today as he did in 1987?

Steve Martin really should have had a game show

I miss this old snl. Grew up sneaking to the basement and watching it with my brother

I'm 64 and I don't think I ever depended on a TV Guide. I've been binging on Third Rock from the Sun for about ten years. It is great to hear when I come to many times at night. White noise with familiarity. Right back to sleep just like dreaming.

This made me remember one time when Jimmy Kimmel in his show asked American to say where USA is on the map, and lots of them got it wrong. I was really shocked.

Kimmel is a douche.

I have watched a lot of SNL. This skit is more valid now than it was when it originally aired.

"It's not what you know, it's what you think you know." How appropriate to today.

Steve Martin: "It's not what you know. It's what you THINK you know." Joey Fatone: "The show that asks those practical everyday questions that everyone SHOULD know."

Steve Martin is the best comic of his time

I mean really, not even close. He had to be paired up with a great writer and a script written with him in mind, and then he had some good moments. Also, he is still alive so your are saying he's the best comic of the last 70 plus years? Are you serious?
