Watching this video makes me realize how much he looks like Will Sasso. Maybe Will could play him in a mocumentary. Wait, maybe this IS Will Sasso! Dun Dun DUUUUN!!!

I think improv and sketch comedy groups are all springboards from stage to radio, radio to stage, stage yo television, radio to television, television to radio, to other television and ultimately the big screen. Any good YouTube sketch comedy? I've yet to really explore that, I guess Vine is funny sketch comedy. A bit too fast, over and done for me though. Cyanide and Happiness count? Web comics? Cracked? Anyway, on to television, which remains the fascination:

The first years of SNL are phenomenal with Chevy Chase, Dan Akroyd, Bill Murray, and Gilda Radner. And before that a lot of those guys were together on the National Lampoon Radio. (Speaking of radio, Dr. Demento?)

And there's also SCTV, jesus -- John Candy, Martin Short, Harold Ramis, Eugene Levy, Rick Moranis, and Joe Flaherty. Flaherty's vampire killed me as a kid. So funny, but really I haven't watched it since I was a youngster.

When I was growing up PBS played a lot of BBC television. Benny Hill amongst them, such a naughty show. I think I was barely allowed watch. But I enjoy the show as much as its mostly about old horny men and women with big tits.

What do I think about Upright Citizen Brigade? I would choose to be an Agent of U.C.B. before S.H.I.E.L.D. Great as both an improv group and sketch comedy for television. Amy Poehler and Horatio Sanz are awesome, and I love them on SNL as well. Assssscat

Cast transfers, right? Sketch comedy groups are like sports teams. Mark McKinney on SNL, etc. Daily Show anchors from Upright Citizens Brigade. SCTV to SNL, etc. Every sketch comedy floods into SNL. Did you watch Nickelodeon's All That? Kenan and Kell.

Mr Show is on my to watch list. I love David Cross in his stand up, as Tobias Funke on Arrested Dev, and as Todd Margaret, which is fucking RIDICULOUS if you haven't seen it. It's not sketch comedy but it might as well be. It's like a British comedy with brash Americans thrown into the mix. Chaos ensues and many, many, many laws are broken, including the usage of weapons of mass destruction and murder. Dark comedy.

Oh, I know a good dark sort of sketch comedy: The League of Gentlemen? It's sort of like if Simon Pegg produced Monty Python. They say things like "Rape our dead mouths". Psychopaths, murderers and crossdressers.

Now that we've ventured off the beaten path, what are your thoughts about the short run comedy central show Stella? Michael Ian Black, Michael Showalter, and David Wain. All three from a funny sketch comedy series called the State. I think I've sifted or promoted some sketches from that series.

And I can't not mention MadTV, you know what? Uh uh, a list about sketch comed without MadTV, ridiculous. I'm running out of steam though, because I'm typing too much, but MO Collins, Orlando Jones, Bobby Lee, Phil LaMar (who does DC comics cartoon voice over work), Aries Spears, and Will Sasso. Damn.

And lest we forget (Thanks, Rudyard), Little Britain -- Britain, Britain, Britain, if it weren't for Little Britain I would scarcely know of the country.

I'm sure I've left off some other great sketch (In Living Color!!), but these came to mind and as I started to think of my favorite cast members and comedians, I began to realize how they all fit in the grand scheme of things. I'm going to watch some Fire Marshall Bill clips now.

Will Sasso says it better.

Your video, Arnold Schwarzenegger Driving by Wil Sasso (Pt. 1 - 14), has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

Good'ol Cherenkov radiation, it's such a nice hue of blue isn't it. Neutrinos are definitely odd little sub-atomic particles with "flavors" that may move faster than the speed-of-light according to the recent experiment(s) done by the OPERA team. Of course it's already been partially re-tested, basically looking for "extra"--you could say Cherenkov radiation, caused by the release of energy by these extra fast neutrinos. Specifically, they're looking for extra electrons (matter/anti-matter pairs, as I say below) being released which should eventually release a few anti-matter electrons in the process, called positrons--which when it happens the electron and positron would appear as a couple.

But, the Gran Sasso physicists involved in the re-testing of the OPERA team's experiment have yet to see even one event which is theorized to occur. This puts a very large noose on the OPERA teams finding, and makes it look more likely that what happened is a measurement error of some kind.

This has little to do with the video, but I thought I'd add it it in for the hell of it.

Wow, I actually agree with @Winstonfield_Pennypacker for once.

[Edit] And I'm glad they got Wil Sasso to play Curly, couldn't have made a better choice IMO. Loved him on MAD TV.

Yup Sasso was the best. I like just about everything he did on Mad TV. Loved his Steven Segal parodies: http://www.videosift.com/video/Steven-Segal-Kung-Fu

Will Sasso was very funny on MadTV. Here's my favourite sketch of his: http://www.videosift.com/video/Kids-Say-The-Stupidest-Things

just a heads up: that's will sasso, not frank caliendo.

Will Sasso got a new job?

True but this video is older. However was discarded before the other one, so yeah it is a dupe, nice catch.
