Sad fact: Macaulay Culkin's father was such a tirant during his guest appearances on SNL that he forced him to memorize every line for every sketch. He wouldn't allow show runners to provide cue cards for the kid. Scripts are given with only a week to rehearse along with the occasional rewrite, sometimes hours before going live. It's just messed up because that's a lot of pressure and stress to put on a child. He really was so talented.

@@chandlerscigarettes listen to the marc maron wtf interview or any others. I've only heard about the culkin father as being a pos. The father despite being a failed jealous performer himself, demanded the best from Mac. Didn't let him use cue cards for snl because apparently professionals don't need them. Kieran has said basically that he was lucky to not make as much money as Mac because it was Mac that got all the pressure from their father at home and on sets.

I was a child who ordinarily wasn't allowed to stay up that late, but was granted special permission that night because I liked Macaulay Culkin. I laughed so hysterically that I was worried I would be sent to bed for being too loud (we had an upstairs neighbor, so it was important to keep the noise level down at night.)

Maybe it's because it's been a STRESSFUL few years in our world but, watching this for the first time in decades, I found myself _really moved_ by how concerned and empathetic Stewart was for his nephew. We'd all benefit from an Uncle Stewart letting us know that we're okay, and the bad things in our lives we didn't cause aren't our fault. And y'know somethin'...? ...Chicken Dumplin'!

I work with kids, so it is new and hilarious to them now!
A kid in my class came to school saying around the time the show aired, and I had no idea where they got it from. Now I know.
I've been in therapy and I found it very helpful. Because of this experience I cant help but find the humor in this. Sometimes we can take ourselves too serious.
I've heard stories about all of the really horrible stuff Macaulay Culkin had to go through in his childhood. I thought I had a screwed up upbringing but it's like they say there's always a bigger fish in the sea there's always someone that has it harder than you do. I feel really bad for him and considering what he had to overcome in his life and now he apparently has a beautiful child that he absolutely adores I am very happy for him. I've struggled with addiction for most of my adult life and only just recently realized that I've been addicted. It's very hard at times. I will say one more thing though, I never had any validation until just now about the whole guess what chicken butt thing. That was something that was going around my school in the 90s must have been between like, 94 and 99. The joke was guess what? Chicken butt. Guess why? Chicken thigh. It was stupid but that was definitely a thing where I grew up in the 90s kids were saying that all around school. I feel old.

Ur forgetting the "guess who .... chicken poo" at the end lol. Yep I was 9 in '94 & have the same memories. It was guess why .... chicken pie" with some people though. Good times.... really really really miss those days & my mom :/
I thought this was uber cute then i read the comments. To think that child who is under pressure during that scene had to play the role of a well cared for child with a sympathetic adult..
I'm gonna go around and say "you know what? chicken butt" from now on xD lol so cute~

I watched the movie the other day, and Stuart’s nephew is Kyle, Kyle’s dad isn’t around, and his mother is an overeater. I’m surprised by the continuity. 🤣

this genuinely made me laugh
There is a Stuart Smalley SNL sketch where he's at his family's Christmas dinner and it is absolutely hilarious. The comedy in that sketch was something I could really relate to and like all brilliant comedy, there's an element of truth that makes it that much more funny. That's why I came to this but I wish that sketch was here. Anybody remember that? It was so amazing - my favorite holiday vignette. Or maybe I'm getting the character mixed up with another. Anyone know, let me know! Next up, looking for Jay Leno's cat's New Years Eve Party as seen on the Tonight Show - that too was priceless!
The kid had a way better idea of what the meetings are for. Stuart turned it around at the end. Some real brilliance here though.
What a good uncle.
This was ahead of its time
This was so cute! I miss Stuart! We all need him now more than ever.

Anyone notice that during this season, Al Franken pretty much used his natural voice for Stuart Smalley? In later seasons, he would do his character with a higher nasally pitch.
I watched these as they aired starting when I was like 9 years old. I have never been able to see Al Franken and anything other than Stuart Smalley. I wonder if he did affirmations when he was being forced to resign from the House.
