This still kills me all these years on! Grew up watching WGN where they show almost every home Cubs game and Harry Carey was a legend!
Wil's Harry Carey will always be one of my favorites.

Very difficult to do that and expressions with the voice and he does it TOO well.
You gotta love how every great comedian has their own style and contributes their own trademark to comedy. Will's style I can never get enough of, it was so random and off kilter and you never knew what he was going to say. Many may not agree with me but to me he's a comedic genius.

That was Harry Carey, not Will. You never knew what Harry was going to talk about next. In the middle of a ball game he would start telling some rambling, incoherent story...usually because he was stone cold drunk by that time.

Will is a comic genius. He can make any celeb laugh.
"...Also, if we didn't dream, our brains would devour themselves in madness and paranoia...the Viet Cong knew that. That's why they used sleep deprivation as a form of torture." If Will just improv'd that...that's flippin epic.
Ferrell should to a space parody as harry carey. A feature film trilogy.
The late 90s were absolutely a golden age for SNL.
Joan Allen is trying so hard not to laugh during this. I'm impressed with how well she kept it together.
It would seem that Will Ferrel improvised the whole skit. Yeah can tell by her reaction

Harry : Hey Linda, when are we gonna finally get over to Mars? Linda : Well, there is a manned expedition being discussed ... Harry : No, I mean you and me !
I taped this when it was live, and then watched it many times. This was a good episode. Back when you could rely on SNL to give you an hour and a half of weekly entertainment. I gave up watching full episodes around 2006. When I remember to check for sketches from new episodes on KZread, I only play about a quarter of them, and only about ten percent of the ones I play do I watch all the way to the end. For me the heyday was about 1998-2002, though there have been good sketches and performers since then.
yup...that impression is just as funny as I remember. Most things from my early teens haven't held up as well. Go Will! Cubs win!
“It’s a simple question.....do you wanna go to mars with a dead guy and a sandwich”?? Lmao!!

I was looking for this skit yesterday, or the day before. Couldn't remember the name of the character. Lo, and behold here it is in my feed!! Great, hilarious stuff!!!
This doesn’t seem funny at first, but it’s one of those bits where the longer it goes, the funnier it gets. Will Ferrell is the master of these bits.

The one with him and Jeff gold bloom is my favorite skit ever lol
I bet whoever invented the shuttle made a lot of money! Then he tried inventing something else but it wasn't as good.
This was funny enough but nothing like the one with Jeff Goldblum. They caught lightning in a bottle with that skit. My favorite ever.
This cracks me up!
Man Will Ferrell is the funniest guy ever! I bust out laughing with anything he does
Twenty years later in 2018, and this is still funny as heck .
One of my fav characters!!
Oh poor Joan, you can just tell she is looking around at the cue cards like what do i say to this...
Soo fu**ing funny I can't believe I've never seen this and now I can't stop
Couple of effects shots from 2001: a Space Odyssey in the intro (from the Star Gate sequence).
ZHe did this impression for his audition. I'll never forget seeing this air.

Joan teeters on the brink of laughter thorughout the entire sketch
"i'm still gonna eat a planet"
"Join us next week when we'll be broadcasting from the center of the Sun." "This just in, apparently the center of the Sun is 8 billion degrees Fahrenheit. That's hot! So, I guess we'll be broadcasting from here."
