Neil Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 2nd City was such a wild TV show. Brilliant but they just go from one crazy thing to another. Wildly creative. Who else would insert a Christmas song to the tune of Mame? Lucy is very hard to imitate. People who do older Lucy exaggerate the gruffness of her voice, but I have to grudgingly admit that Catherine O'Hara has a few of older Lucy's expressions down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 When did this air? Never heard of this. Was Lucy alive? I remember her liking Katie and Allie parody but don't recall her reaction to SNL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted December 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 When did this air? Never heard of this. Was Lucy alive? I remember her liking Katie and Allie parody but don't recall her reaction to SNL I looked up SC TV and deduced this ran some time in the 82-83 season, the only one that featured both O'Hara and Martin Short. SC was syndicated from 1977 to 81. On NBC late night Fridays (12:30 to 2am!) from 81 to 83, then on Cinemax for one more year. I hope she did NOT see this.

She had a good sense of humor... and it wasn't so much disparaging as it was pretty on the mark! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
