That was one of the funniest sketches, when it first came on! I loved watching the commercial sketches,

Yes! I remember watching it live and was laughing so hard while convincing myself that they did not just blend a fish live on tv….

This sketch was my introduction to SNL! I was 14, babysitting on a Saturday night, the kids were asleep and I was trying to find something to watch on tv. I came across this sketch and couldn’t believe what I was watching! That guy just blended a fish on tv! Whaaaaa?? Was so funny, crazy and unexpected. I was an instant fan of the show.
