      No, I havent seen it in 40+ years and it is no better now than at the time. This is the season after Lorne Michaels and the original cast left. It was painfully bad. Later in 1981 they started letting Eddie Murphy into some skits, Lorne returned but it is a wonder this season didnt get it cancelled.

      This is about as funny as a burning orphanage. It's not offensive or anything and Lennon was fine with it, but they forgot to write some decent jokes for the skit and obviously thought that merely dressing them up was enough to make an American audience laugh.
