@@MorganOtt-ne1qjYes! Don Novello wrote a very funny book, "The Laszlo Letters," and it was very clever. He wrote letters to famous people and big companies and published the letters and the responses he received.
Im gussing you rode the short bus to school. Is there someone that looks after you? Can we talk to them? This is unfunny poison, how the fuck is this cancer one of the best of anything, ever? What is wrong with you?
Classic, timeless and priceless humor! Just another reason that I'm glad I'm old enough to have seen it first hand. Watching it now still makes me belly laugh!
How awesome is this... Found this on Wikiepedia !!! Novello created the character in 1973, after he purchased the outfit (consisting of big floppy black hat, white clerical collar, and a long, red-trimmed black coat with cape) for $7.50 at a St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store.
We used to run home from the bars on Sat night to watch SNL, in it's real Hey Day of the late 70s. Of course we would head back for last call, but it was a ritual to grab a small Coors keg head to someones place and watch the show. The early cast could never be replaced for the amount of talent among the group. Any one of them could have been the shows star over the years.
I was a kid when I watched this air for the first time. The last part of the bit became an instant family classic that was retold every time we ate corn on the cob.
I loved him ever since he was discovered and added to the cast of the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour with Dawn French (share a little tea with Goldie) Officer Judy, & Pat Paulson, all very underrated actors/comedians! Officer Judy later became Super Dave Osborn played by Bob Einstein.😂 Sadly Bob Einstein passed away in 2019😢
What a great time in America, a weekly 1 1/2 hour reward for the weekly grind. A fantastic host, an awesome band or musician, truly funny skits, Mr. Bill and ending with everyone saying goodnight.
I had quite forgotten about Guido Sarducci. His spots were always highlights. Sarducci is such an established person, with a life far beyond just SNL, that he is rather like Sir Les Patterson...ready to appear and provide insight when cultural moments call out for it! A multi talented man, who did a lot of different things. He worked on SCTV as well.. Producing I believe. I remember reading the Lazlo Letters when I was young and finding it very funny indeed. Very glad he has had a long life.
Father Guido Sarducci - my hero 😎😂! Yes, I saw the original broadcast of this - I laughed for 3 days 😂, and used to perform the sketch for friends at parties 😋!
That was the golden age of SNL. Remember Belushi, The Czech Brothers, and Gilda Radner's Rosanne Rosanadanna ? That was the very best of SNL. It has really never been as good.
I am a devout 72 year old Pre Vatican II Catholic and I find this HYSTERICALLY FUNNY and supremely satirical. Being able to laugh at yourself is a form of HUMILITY. Having been to ROME and experienced the splendor of a canonization (St. Mother Teresa) I can understand how this all looks to non-Catholics 😉. In addition, Fr. Sarduchii is the forerunner of the Catholic ‘media clergy’ of today 👍🏻
I once opened for Father Guido with a band called the Geyer Street Sheiks in St. Louis around 1997. He put on a fantastic show and the entire front row was all the highest members of the Catholic Archdiocese in St. Louis at the time.
SNL was great when I was too young too watch it.( It all went downhill after early 90s. ) I'm lucky to know who Guido Sarducci is 😅 This episode is a couple years before my time.
My favorite interview was the time he was talking about the Vatican elevating people to sainthood. An American woman had in fact been made a saint recently and Fr. Sarducci was claiming that it was only because the Vatican was sucking up to the U.S.A. This woman had three confirmed miracles which were necessary for her to become a saint by Vatican law. He claimed that in Italy people have 40 and 50 miracles a day but do THEY get made saints? No! And then he went on to say that he had heard that two of this woman's miracle were only card tricks ... and that's when I lost it and they had to pick me up off the floor laughing.
Jeffrey Holmes - where is that link? So classic! I am looking for that very video right now! I swear YT took it down. I saw it 6 months ago, but sadly it appears to be gone! I’m guessing someone got their panties in a wad and complained. 😭 Edit: I found the Pope in da Pizza Contest on Vimeo. Enjoy all! vimeo.com/59509411
I went to a Halloween party when i was like 21 years old as Giudo Sarducci and my girlfriend went as a pregnant nun. The joke was on me 2 months later she was really pregnant...LOL
Don Novello (Father Guido Sarducci) wrote one of the funniest books ever called "The Laslo Letters". He wrote to politicians, corporations, and prominant people. And then printed the responses in a book. He wrote Richard Nixon and never got a response until Nixon resigned. He had his letter on the left page and the response on the right page. Over the top hilarious! Get it if you can find one.
We used to watch this when I was 15 yrs old. Me and my best friend got a riot out of calling each other Father Guido. He got me a job in his uncles butcher shop. We were in the Delaware River tubing one sunny day and our tube was going flat. It has huge boulders just under the surface that batter you if you start to go under. I panicked and started freaking out. He told me get ahold of yourself we have to swim for the PA side. We made it, he saved my life. A year later he died in a motorcycle accident. I never told anybody about that and it's bothered me for years. missed you my whole life. RIP TIMMY
Don Novello. Donald Andrew "Don" Novello (born January 1, 1943) is an American writer, film director, producer, actor, singer and comedian. He is best known for his work on NBC's Saturday Night Live from 1979-1980, and again from 1985-86, often as the character Father Guido Sarducci.
If you look at the length of this segment versus now, our collective attention spans certainly have dropped. I just love the character of Father Sarducci.
I loved his cameo appearance in the film ‘Casper’. Having watched him on TV guest spots, I recognized him right away - - but those who had not ever seen him before, they wouldn’t have understood why he got such a big laugh.
Father Sarducci- total genius. Too funny. SNL in the late 70's had the most amazing collection of talent.
That's for sure 👍
It was the best. It brought tears from laughter; that and Monty Python.
And the writers were talented, unlike now.
Don Novello! 👍
@@MorganOtt-ne1qjYes! Don Novello wrote a very funny book, "The Laszlo Letters," and it was very clever. He wrote letters to famous people and big companies and published the letters and the responses he received.
PRICELESS! Love Father Guido Sarducci!!! 😁🤣😂🤣. “The Shrine-mobile!”😂❤
Finda the Pope inda the Pizza ! My favorite!
He was absolutely classic. One of the best characters on a show with a lot of real talent. Man, was it funny back then...
WAS funny (past tense) SNL has become more and more LAME each and every year, since.
The problem with the show as I see it today in 2024, is that they lost the "edge", the creativity, the willingness to push boundaries.
Don's got the Italian accent nailed down . I could watch his Father Guido Sarducci skits all day .
I loved his weather forecast: "It might rain, it might not. It depends on the weather." At least that's how I remember it.
One of the best SNL characters. Father Guido and Jane rocked the boat!
Im gussing you rode the short bus to school. Is there someone that looks after you? Can we talk to them? This is unfunny poison, how the fuck is this cancer one of the best of anything, ever? What is wrong with you?
One of the most original and truly funny men in comedy. "Where's that old walk on water spirit"?
Don's character was not only brilliant, but he wrote very funny bits and always made me LMAO.
Same
God,the whole original SNL cast was amazing! Miss those days. Every Saturday night you just HAD to watch SNL; it was the talk of the week.
He really is amazing as this character- what a classic
One of the most likable comedians. He was never abrasive.
Father Guido & Rosanne Rosannadana were quite the characters and both my favorites.
Heyday of SNL.
Never mind...
Same
No
AMÉN
I loved Father Guido Sarducci!
He looks my dad and my uncle too😊👏☝️
cant afford to go to the walk on water nvm
tdsm19 Thank You 🙏 🚬
Classic, timeless and priceless humor! Just another reason that I'm glad I'm old enough to have seen it first hand. Watching it now still makes me belly laugh!
Never gets old ! This group was the best!
He’s on the subtracting side.
I remember him saying "you gotta pay for your sins. And in a cash.
a 35 cents, a 35 cents, a 35 cents, a 35 cents...lol
yeah, masturbation is only thirty cents - but it adds up! LOL
That’s what I was looking for. Do you know how to find it?
@@karrimisky You should be able to just google it, or find it at youtube.
@@karrimisky Ah, here it is, a daily motion:

I loved Father Guido, I went as Father Guido for Halloween, it was a great costume, but this was in 2008, and no one under 30 had any idea who he was
Sad that no one under 30 got to enjoy such great and innocent humor!
If i had been there I would have been one of the killer bees lol
If Don had been there he would have forgiven them for not knowing, blessed them and told them to go to confession for the next year.
. "Coming and going planet." Brilliant comedian
How awesome is this... Found this on Wikiepedia !!!
Novello created the character in 1973, after he purchased the outfit (consisting of big floppy black hat, white clerical collar, and a long, red-trimmed black coat with cape) for $7.50 at a St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store.
Father Guido was amazing if you can find them go back and look at some of his skits. He is hilarious!
Where is father?
Dont forget he was in Casper too
Absolutely one of the best characters on SNL.
Very underrated character,.....hilarious.
One of Don Novello's best characters.
I haven't seen the list of ratings by character.
I wish I could see some of his other characters, who are they and where can we find them?
Boomers have bow discovered that regrettable phrase
Underrated by who?
Where’s that walk on water spirit? LOL!!
...Where's 'a that walk'a on'a the water spirit???
😂🤑😂
Ha! I heard that and said to myself 'I need to remember that one...I'm gonna use it sometime'. )

Amen brother.
Miss those days
I remember watching the very first show while in college. I guess that means I'm old.
Things a little slow for ya at the bar are they
@@paulj.stavrou4332 Things a little slow in your life are they? What a dumb comment.
I always love Father Guido.
Plus, his voice made me want some Amore' Pizza

Always enjoyed his perspective to the viewer, also Gilda Radner’s Rosanna Dana Bandanna ,deserving a mention too.
@@stanleydolan5609 - Rosanne Rosannadanna.
@@MossyMozart thanks
I didn't know that Don Novello or Dawn French were on the Smothers Brothers!
Thank you for sharing. Always looking for the Classic Comedy Greats!! Peace2U
2019 this is still good.
.....also reminds me that i'm getting older.
Ya still funny now.. ❤😁💯👍
2021-- still laughing! And we do need the shrines right now! ;-)
Still funny in 2023.😄
This guy was always hilarious as Father Guido 😂🤣
What a breath of funny and fresh air to hear and see Father Guido Sarducci again on SNL! Hilarious!
What a great time in America, a weekly 1 1/2 hour reward for the weekly grind. A fantastic host, an awesome band or musician, truly funny skits, Mr. Bill and ending with everyone saying goodnight.
My favorite character from SNL. An all time great.
Don Novello played this to a genius level.
Loved his crash course for a college degree. Too funny.
My favorite SNL character. Never fails to get me laughing

Ahh Father Sarducci .. 😊💖
I was a teen when Father Guido was on Laugh In - LOVED him then, love him always!
“Where’s that old walk on water spirit?!, Proctor & Gamble wouldn’t take it sitting down”. 😂 classic
Loved this character.
He is absolutely hilarious. He invented this great character and whats more,Don is really Italian. Bravissimo Guido Sarducci.
Who can remember Father and find the pope in the pizza 😂
one of the all time comedians in an all time skit. Thank you.
Oh God so hilarious we saw this when it was on live tv and I tell you classic tv. Classic.
I happened to come upon an SNL with Father Guido Sarducci and realized how funny it was back then.Now I'm watching old SNL skits.Love it
I like how he collates both Astronomy and Astrology as kinda like the same thing, "we've been involved with Astrology and Astronomy for many years".
Such a fantastic find! I loved Classic SNL, the newer stuff sucks!
Where is that old walk-on-the-water spirit? Oh my god, I died...
I need to make that my catch phrase.
Damn, I remember this!! I was 17!! Amazed I can remember anything from those years! The weed intake was way past anything recommended by anyone.
This was the best SNL! Father Sarducci, church lady, Rosanna Rosanna Danna! Omg 😂
That was the golden age of SNL. Remember Belushi, The Czech Brothers, and Gilda Radner's Rosanne Rosanadanna ? That was the very best of SNL. It has really never been as good.
I am a devout 72 year old Pre Vatican II Catholic and I find this HYSTERICALLY FUNNY and supremely satirical. Being able to laugh at yourself is a form of HUMILITY.

LOVED Father Guido Sarducci, he should have been on longer, soooo funny! LOVE YA Father Guido!!
I remember when Sarducci had the bill from the Last Supper. Classic.
So do I. I remember him itemizing it too. Great times. This here is also one of my favorites.
What about the spot the pope in the pizza bit he did on snl?
OMG I remember that.SNL was great 70s and 80s.✌10/15/2019.
Actually, he couldn’t afford the bill from the Last Supper, so he ended up buying the bill from the Last Brunch...
He didn’t buy the femur bone of St Augustine because it was chipped. 😁
Find the Popes in the Pizza skit was my favorite Father Guido!
Don Novello! Magnifico!
I remember watching this live. I never forgot it and it's cool to finally find it on you tube - my favourite sarducci bit
He talked about the Popa- mobile, too. Before the Pope had a pope mobile.
And also .... the "Find-a the Popes in the Pizza" contest
" Pope On A Rope " soap
I thought the same. He was ahead of his time.
So he predicted the future transportation of Vatican City!
@@egreenbery Wasn't he given away a badge called "I got a peek at the Pope"?
I once opened for Father Guido with a band called the Geyer Street Sheiks in St. Louis around 1997. He put on a fantastic show and the entire front row was all the highest members of the Catholic Archdiocese in St. Louis at the time.
Does anyone else remember Father Guido’s Spot the Popes’ Faces in the Pizza Contest?
+
Yes!! My favorite routine of his!
finda the popes inna the pizza. classic
Find the Popah in da pizza😂 loved it!
Finda Pope in a pizza?
What a wonderfully loopy sense of humor he has.
"Nothing to sneeza your nose at" got me.
👍
Ok. I was a kid when SNL premiered. Haven't seen this in 40 + years. 3:58 just made me bust out laughing!!

Hilarious! Always loved the good Father.
I loved what Father Guido said about dogs on SNL. ""When dogs lick your hand, its not that they love you, its the salt!"

Thank you so much, so funny brings back memories. Oh and his sun glasses..😁❤👍💯
"Where's that ole walk-on-water spirit?!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Father Guido will go "coming and going" into eternity.
Five-minute university! That routine was hysterical!!!
Maybe you wanna get a masters degree. Got another minute?
I ❤ Father Guido!!
Another brilliant science lesson from Father Guido. Hate to say it but funny as hell.
I went to a Halloween party when i was like 21 years old as Giudo Sarducci and my girlfriend went as a pregnant nun. The joke was on me 2 months later she was really pregnant...LOL
That Halloween every guy was Fr Guido.
Farther Sarducci's the Rosanna Danna two of the best characters ever created on SNL
Agree
Don Novello
(Father Guido Sarducci)
wrote one of the funniest books ever called "The Laslo Letters". He wrote to politicians, corporations, and prominant people. And then printed the responses in a book. He wrote Richard Nixon and never got a response until Nixon resigned.
He had his letter on the left page and the response on the right page.
Over the top hilarious! Get it if you can find one.
Arrivederci Father Guido! Long may your humor reign!
I got to play softball with him back in the 80's.

Very mellow comedy, and righteous... Amen.

A handful of timeless beauties in that segment.

Hes always been my favorite SNL
Comedian. Nobody better! IMO
Legendary SNL comedy sketch!
The last golden era/decade of real comedy!
Father Quido was a hoot. One of the funniest.
My all time favorite. Classic . thank you
THANK YOU! I've been trying to find this one.
I agree,every SNL person was fantastic..miss them
If you look at the length of this segment versus now, our collective attention spans certainly have dropped.
I just love the character of Father Sarducci.
Nobody had smartphones or handheld games back then lol i say that because i even catch myself being on my phone when i wanted to watch tv lol
that's still hilarious🤣😂
The good father always made perfect sense!
Fine-a-duh-Pope-in a pizza! I love Father Sarducci!
I was 15 in 75 and this show was a must see back then, when I wasn't too high to watch it.
SNL was my favorite show back in the 70s.
