Thanks for the hilarious memory. I'd forgotten this one.
Too bad you couldn't find the video. I love when Mrs Mel shows up with her chainsaw. The homicidal look on Mrs Mel's face is priceless. You can't beat Gilda.
Sandy: This was '75. Even the transcripts from those days make me laugh.
Cal: If I wasn't on dial-up I would. I might bring my computer to the library and use their wireless to check out some old clips.
Video is here, for anyone who wants to see it: http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/mels-char-palace/2725
And now I'm hungry for steak.
You know what's great on steak??? Ranch dressing. It's awesome.
