KU’s last chance to win on road this year comes (gulp) at TCU

Saturday marks the Kansas football team’s last chance in 2015 to end a losing streak away from home that currently stands at 37 games.

However, the winless Jayhawks don’t figure to have much of a shot at avoiding consecutive loss No. 38, because they have to play at No. 13 TCU. And the high-scoring Horned Frogs just lost their first game of the season.

This one figures to get ugly, so if you’re a KU football fan, you could always cheer yourself up by contemplating your answer to our question of the week below.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

Apparently Donald Trump hosted Saturday Night Live this past weekend. Do you (or did you used to) watch SNL, and if so who are your all-time favorite cast members or hosts?



Last week: 5-1 | Season: 45-15

Favorite cast member: Dana Carvey, of
course. I challenge you to watch his
CURRENT youtube clips from appearances
on the late night talk shows. He’s
still funny and a great impersonator.
Also Phil Hartman was one funny guy.



Last week: 3-3 | Season: 45-15

John Belushi, Bill Murray, Tina Fey
… anybody old.



Last week: 4-2 | Season: 44-16

Dana Carvey, especially when he was
“Church Lady.”



Last week: 4-2 | Season: 44-16

I’ve watched a few re-runs here and
there. Chris Farley and Will Ferrell
were always pretty funny in any skit
they were involved with.



Last week: 4-2 | 43-17

First, a tip of the hat to those in
the top 10 — Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray,
Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Mike Myers,
Chris Rock, Gilda Radner and Dana
Carvey.

But let’s be clear, this is a
two-person race between John Belushi
and Eddie Murphy. It’s close, but
Murphy gets the nod. Belushi was
surrounded by comparable talent like
Murray, Aykroyd and Radner. Murray
worked with Joe Piscopo, Tim
Kazurinsky and the significantly less
talented brothers of Belushi and
Murray. Still, Murphy put SNL on his
shoulders and carried it like Michael
Jordan carried the Bulls in 1986.

Every character Murphy played worked.
My favorite SNL sketch, [The James
Brown Celebrity Hot Tub Party,][2]
showcased Murphy’s immense talent.

True genius that is just a little
better than Samurai TV repairman.



Last week: 4-2 | Season: 42-18

Since I’ve worked almost every
Saturday night since the show started,
I’m probably not qualified to answer.



Last week: 3-3 | Season: 40-20

I’m not sure the original cast can be
beat: Aykroyd, Belushi, Curtin,
Morris, Chase, Newman, Radner.
Although, as much as I loved SNL in
those years, I almost think I liked
SCTV even better, with the likes of
John Candy, Eugene Levy, Dave Thomas,
Harold Ramis and Martin Short. Ah, the
golden years of comedy television …
{sighs wistfully}



Last week: 1-5 | Season: 39-21

When SNL was in its heyday of the
modern era, Chris Farley and Adam
Sandler were as good as it got. And it
just so happened that both dudes had
unforgettable skits on my favorite
episode ever. Paul McCartney was
either the host or musical guest and
Farley’s interview with the former
Beatle was pure gold. “Um, remember
when you were in the Beatles…” On
that same episode, Sandler did his
rendition of “Red-Hooded Sweatshirt”
and the tune still slays me to this
day. Great stuff from a couple of
comedic geniuses!



Last week: 3-3 | Season: 37-23

I don’t watch SNL but I’ll catch the
popular clips online. My favorite
right now is Jay Pharaoh. I went to
one of his shows last summer.
Hilarious. However, I was a big fan of
“All That” on Nickelodeon, which was
like the kids’ version of SNL in the
’90s.



Last week: 3-3 | Season: 34-26

It’s pretty clear your favorite cast
member depends on how old you are. For
me it’s Will Ferrell, and it’s not
even close. His ridiculous impressions
of George W. Bush, Harry Caray Robert
Goulet and Janet Reno are off the
charts hilarious. And he was
phenomenal at just playing random
weirdos, such as: the guy who played
cowbell in Blue Oyster Cult, a random
angry dad (“I DRIVE A DODGE STRATUS!”
or “GET OFF THE SHED!”), Mr. David
Larry on Dog Show, the bearded creep
who is overly affectionate in public
with his “love-ah”, or a guy named
Terrence Maddox who poses nude for art
classes. Will Ferrell is the G.O.A.T.
