Obituary: ... there they go !

(when it was actually funny)
Steve Martin, Eddie Murphy, each a national treasure.
Martin was stellar in Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid and his musical intro scene in Little Shop of Horrors.

Murphy's Beverly Hills COP very well done.

- far less so now.
I can't be objective about it.
I may never know if SNL simply drooped.
Or if in my advancing years my critic's nose has turned upward.
 
Number 14 - that's Father Guido Sarducci #17

That was then.
This is now:

On CBS-TV The Late Show Father Sarducci predicted the outcome of the papal selection conclave scheduled for commencement today.
Sarducci predicts the conclave will re-select Pope Benedict the 16th.
CBS host Colbert reminded Sarducci that B16 is dead. BUT !
Sarducci explained, it's like Elvis. Dead perhaps, but it hasn't diminished all the Elvis sightings.

Sarducci further disclosed, this new old pope will be named Pope Benedict the 16th the second.

There you go, straight from the vatican in New York City !

note:

Obituary: ... there they go !​

is for remembering the passing of those that have served with distinction.
Comedian Sarducci still alive, is reprised here not merely for a smidge of comedy relief in what would otherwise be an intrinsically grim, dour thread.

President Trump presides with the style of a "reality" TV host, deliberately unprepared, relying on his own extemporaneous style.
Sarducci's comedic stylings are quite similar, but without the megalomaniacal overtones.
