I separated my shoulder doing a pratfall on SNL in the 90’s. Sometimes it talks to me . Today I did 25 push-ups. My goal is 40 - I will slowly work my way up- If/when I do 40 pushups I will post a video so you wont think I’m a lying sack of shit.

This was my very first sketch on my very first show on SNL. Same for Phil Hartman and Jan Hooks . They were so great. I think we all were a bit nervous. I was actually terrified. Fun fact: My character has a bit of early Garth in him.
