anyone ever saw the SNL Sketches with Dan Ackroyd?


the reason i ask is if you noticed he gets 2 of the 3 names correct when he calls the agents names. He says "Lee,enrico,youngblood" when it's "youngfellow" i'm not sure if this was just his way of making fun of youngfellow's name,or if Dan couldn't remember his name and just adlibbed "youngblood" or what,but anyway if anyone might know the answer let me know.

I remember them fondly, but as far as I know none of them are on any SNL videos.

rusty it's on Season 1 on DVD when Desi Arnaz hosted.

I remember those Dan Aykroyd/SNL, Untouchables spoofs vividly! They were priceless! I think Dan really wanted to be a cop instead of a comedian. He kept playing cops and spoofing them, like in Dragnet (the movie and the SNL sketch). I also wondered the same thing: Why "Youngblood" instead of "Youngfellow"? Possibly because of copyright rules, or maybe it just sounded better.


Ness: "Rico, get the car"
Rossi: "Why do I always have to get the car?"
Ness: "Because you can't act!"

I'd seen all those Aykroyd sketches before actually seeing "The Untouchables", so it took me awhile to get through an episode without laughing. I still tend to bark out "Lee! Rico! Youngblood!" when a MeTV episode starts to drag.

Desi ends that show with a hellified version of 'Baba-Loo'.

One of the most exciting segments ever on SNL.

Short Cut, Draw Blood

Where can I find it? I saw it on SNL live but not since. I tried google but no luck.
Thanks,
