It was great to see Norm McDonald. He added a lot of greatness when he was on SNL.

-$69.00 would put Sean in first place, right?

He cheated so he could make a joke about the number 69. Please keep up.

Tom Hanks was brilliant. Thought we were watching Forrest Gump there again for a sec. What an amazing actor he is. And hasn't Sean Connery been bald for the last 30 years?

Compared to the older Celebrity Jeopardy sketches, this is pretty weak.

I personally found the Lawrence Welk skit to be the best of the bunch:

Among the 2009 inductees into the Rhode Island Radio Hall of Fame last night was 91-year old Dominick “Don” Pardo, who’s voice is known to millions for his role as the announcer for NBC-TV’s Saturday Night Live and countless network television game shows. Pardo began his career at WJAR/Provi­dence (now WHJJ) in 1938 before moving on to a 60-year career at NBC Television where he was one of only two individual­s — the other was comedian Bob Hope — who held lifetime contracts with the network. Officially retired four years ago, Pardo, who now lives in Arizona, has been flying back to NYC 20 times a year when “SNL” staged original shows. McVay Media News/Talk Specialist Holland Cooke, who was at last night’s event, reports that Pardo said this weekend’s season finale of the late night comedy show will be his last. “I think that’s enough,” Pardo told a packed house who attended the festivitie­s in West Warwick, RI. Cooke was lucky enough to capture the above photo memory with Pardo to add to his considerab­le scrapbook of classic moments in broadcasti­ng.

Could someone be good enough to post this to you tube so I can watch it? I live in Canada and it is blocked both here and on the N.B.C. website.

Thank you very much for your kindness!

Ferrell is nothing like Alex Trebeck, the girl is nothing like Kathie Lee and
even Tom Hanks is nothing like Tom Hanks, so why bother do this
juvenile sketch?

I'm gonna give you a nickle, go buy yourself a sense of humor.
