    You can tell that Simon was a new SNL character at that time, because when he asked the audience whether they wanted to see his drawings, at first they didn't respond. In later Simon skits, when he asked, the audience promptly applauded enthusiastically

      Haha I was actually curious to know which one this was in the order when I was watching it. I did NOT catch that audience thing tho. Good lookin. But yeah, overall it just felt like an intro. “Intro to Simon” if you will…

    If anyone can remember, Myers did a Sprockets skit in 1990 where he had "Dieter's Dance Party." He read a list of music tracks on the charts and one of the tracks was "Mommy's with the Angels by Simon."
