Does anyone have the SNL spoof?

You know the one where they made fun of Cats and the only happy member was the host who was tugger and he was acting all feminine? I've never seen this video clip and I've been looking for it. Could someone please post it? Pray

I've never seen it online anywhere. I have it on video, but I don't have any means of putting it on the computer. Sorry. I wish I could. Sad

I would love to share it with anyone who hasn't seen it, because it's probably the best Cats parody I've ever seen. Smile

Maybe it's on youtube.com in the numerous archives.

I've never seen it online either, but it IS amazing.

"Is that...from the makeup?"
"Maybe. But I think it's because he's rotting from the inside."

*grins* Oh man, what I wouldn't do to see it. I remember someone posting something of a transcript of it: the dialogue and actions, etc. One character/actor was actually curled up in a fetal position, rocking back and forth..? Chanting "Jellicle Ball" over and over? If not, that's okay, because the image still amuses me, had it happened or not. Laughing

(Don't ask. I get images/dreams/thoughts mixed up with reality.)

Don't worry, Rahlee. You're right. It was Will Ferrell dressed as Macavity sitting on the steps rocking back and forth chanting, "Jellicle Ball" over and over. At the same time he's nursing open wounds on his face with cotton balls and occasionally whimpering, "Ow..." That's where the quote Bal wrote comes in.

James Van Der Beek (as Tugger): What's wrong with his skin? Is that from all the make-up?
Chris Parnell (as Skimble): Yeah, that or..... he's dying on the inside. We all are."

Laughing

Oh Parnell... my love...

I'm in the same boat as Rahlee (the Kentucky boat!)... I'd give anything to see the skit.

Okay, so I was really bored after I got home tonight, so I thought I would type up a transcript of the SNL skit for those who haven't seen it. I know it doesn't compare to actually seeing it on video, but it's the next best thing. I don't think anyone has typed it up yet, anyway. Maybe I should submit it to a Saturday Night Live website for their episode guides. I can't imagine typing up transcripts for a living, though... Oy. Laughing

Anyway, here it is. Enjoy!

(Slideshow of Broadway Cats photos, “Memory” playing in the background)
Andrew Lloyd Webber (played by Darrell Hammond): Cats… 18 years… 11,000 performances… 7 Tony Awards…
(Cut to "Andrew" sitting in the balcony of the Winter Garden Theater)
Andrew: Hi, I’m Andrew Lloyd Webber, and I wrote the music for Cats. I’m rich. But now, with this new home video, you too can experience Cats, now and forever. This cassette commemorates the 11,000th performance of my timeless classic, plus, you’ll also get a glimpse of some rare backstage footage. Now, let’s take a look at the magic that’s behind… the magic!
(Cut to Winter Garden dressing room. "John Stacy," played by Chris Parnell and dressed as Skimbleshanks [sans wig] is sitting at a mirror)
John: Hello, and… welcome to the Winter Garden Theater where we’re doing the 11,000th performance of this great… thing… Cats. Now and freakin’ forever. I’m John Stacy... and for the last seven years I’ve played (puts wig on) Skimbleshanks, the Railway Cat. Yup, I’m a grown man and that’s my job. Okay… (camera pans dressing room) This is the makeup room where men and women, many of whom are highly trained and intelligent, transform themselves into cats. All right, let’s just go downstairs and see what else we can see.
(Cut to backstage area, John walking past hanging Green Eyes)
John: Hey, look at these. (Presses button to illuminate Green Eyes) Zzt, zzt… very effective.
(Walking towards “Kathy Trumble,” played by Ana Gasteyer)
John: Um, over here, we have Kathy Trumble who’s been our stage manager for 14 years. Say “Hi” to the camera, Kathy.
Kathy (disinterested, playing with a Game Boy): What’s this for?
John: It’s, uh, for the home video thing…? Hey, shouldn’t you be calling the cues?
Kathy (sarcastic): Oh, right! ‘Cause we’ve only done this 11,000 times and something could go terribly wrong!
John: So, do you, uh, have any anecdotes?
Kathy: Oh, go f*** yourself!
John: Thanks, Kathy. (turns to the camera) You know, my parents think I’m gay… Thanks, Cats.
(Cut to more backstage scenery)
John: Behind us here we have the big boat from the… boat scene…
("Freddy Patek," played by James Van Der Beek and dressed as the Rum Tum Tugger, comes down the stairs and interrupts)
Freddy: Hey, John!
John: Oh, hey!
Freddy: What’s this for?
John: Hi, Freddy. (to camera) This is Freddy Patek. He’s brand new to the cast and thus still has the capacity for joy. Say “Hi,” Freddy.
Freddy: Is this for the, uh, video thing?
John (nods): Mm-hmm.
Freddy (excited): Oh my god! This is so cool! I swear, I’m the luckiest guy in the world to be playing the Rum Tum Tugger… on Broad-WAY! (strikes a “Tugger pose” and hisses)
John: Anyway… Let’s, uh, see what some of the other cast members are doing backstage. Uh, here we have a few Jellicle cats playing some cards, enjoying some beverages. Hey, guys.
(Pan to cigarette-smoking Munkustrap, played by Tracy Morgan, and Bustopher Jones, played by Horatio Sanz, sitting at a makeshift card table. Bombalurina, played by Molly Shannon, gets displaced to a seat in the background by Freddy, who scoots in talking to Munkustrap and Bustopher)
Freddy: Jellicle cats, listen up. I’m trying to organize this cast game night slash fondue party at my place. It’s gonna be so much fun. We can all bring a different dessert and, uh, we can play Scattergories and Celebrity and I JUST GOT Legends of the Fall on DVD. It’s gonna be so cool, whaddya say?
(Silence, then Bustopher screams and wrings Freddy around the neck in anger. A fight almost breaks out, but John rescues Freddy and leads him away)
(Cut to Freddy and John walking up stairs)
John: All right, let’s see who else we can find back here. Uh… Oh! Here we have Marty Barrett, who has played the role of Macavity in all 11,000 performances. How we doin’ there, Marty?
("Marty," played by Will Ferrell and dressed as Macavity, is sitting on a step, rocking back and forth, and nursing open wounds on his face with a cotton ball)
Marty (chanting): Jellicle ball… Jellicle ball… (whispers) Ow…
John (patting Marty on the shoulder): You break a leg out there tonight, Marty.
Freddy (concerned, whispering in John’s ear): What’s wrong with his skin? Is that from all the makeup?
John: Yeah… that, or… he’s rotting from the inside. We all are.
("Memory" starts to play in the background)
Freddy (sad): Oh… (smiles painfully at the camera)
John: That’s gonna be all from backstage here at Cats, now and forever… and ever.
(Freddy attempts a hiss at the camera)
(Cut to Andrew Lloyd Webber on the balcony again, this time surrounded by John, Marty, and Jennyanydots, played by Cheri Oteri)
Andrew: Cats! Own it now and forever on home video!
(John lazily hisses at the camera)
