Saturday Night Live - Albert Brooks - "Fall Preview" (1979)

Views: 8046

Ok, this one doesn't have any local material in it but it's still worthy. It's a hilarious send-up of Television previews for some shows that certainly wouldn't have gotten the green light: Medical Season, The Three of Us, and Black Vet.

Albert Brooks is awesome. 8-)
