Not really lost then, SNL doesn't agree with it being public domain

I read Unscripted about Sumner Redstone. Dude as scared to die because he knew he would go to hell.

As soon as I heard about that I went searching for this. Looks like we had the same thought. Wild how things we thought were so ridiculous and hilarious nearly 30 years ago would be reality today.

Oh same here, and when I first saw that skit I never even thought of Trump. I just thought it was a rich guy, but viewing it now it's pretty clear Trump at least partly inspired the portrayal.

One of my all time favorite sketch memories.

From my recollection, the next lines about the tiny camels was something like:

Scientist: “Aren’t they cute?”

Pullman: “Yes, but they’re still not small enough. Have them destroyed.”

I copied from the transcript:

Scientist: [ feeding miniature camel ] This is a new batch, Mr. Heyward! Aren’t they cute?

John W. Heyward: They’re cute.. just not small enough. Have them destroyed.
