Who can forget D*ck in a Box?
I was disappointed that Bill Hader wasn't there.
No offense. But this deserved a much better narration
Dan looks like James Garner as he ages.
I did not see Dana Carvey as well. Did I miss that?
Too bad Dan Aykroyd wasn't there. He was the youngest original cast member, I believe. So versatile. I've been watching since season 1, when I was a nerdy 15-yr old. Where did all that time go????😢
good lord, not a good voice over
I was more upset that JT didn't make it poor Jimmy and Andy they didn't have their partner in crime
There were other hosts and cast members missing. This video should have listed more than just these three.
I hate her voice. It makes it hard to watch the videos. Mainly the way she pronounces things. She is specuuulllll.
This narration is very odd
Boooooooooooo
Inside sources have said Hader chose not to come because his gf Ali Wong could not get a ticket.
I don't recall seeing Mike Meyers either
The frig kinda voice is reporting on this? Sounds robotic and like the person has no clue what they’re talking about.
