Saturday Night Live season 21 episode 15, titled John Goodman/Everclear, brings together one of America's favorite actors, John Goodman, and alternative rock band Everclear for a night of comedy and music.
Goodman, who is known for his roles in popular TV shows and films like Roseanne and The Big Lebowski, is the host of this episode, and he brings his trademark humor and wit to the SNL stage. With his larger-than-life personality and impeccable timing, Goodman delivers some of the most memorable sketches of the season, including a hilarious spoof on the classic thriller Silence of the Lambs.
In one of the standout sketches of the night, Goodman plays a census worker who visits a family of eccentric hillbillies in the backwoods of America. From the father who insists on smelling the census worker's breath to the daughter who refuses to bathe and tries to seduce him, the sketch is a side-splitting parody of rural American stereotypes.
Other sketches from the episode include a fake commercial for "Crystal Gravy", a new product that promises to make your Thanksgiving feast even more delicious by adding a shimmering, translucent glaze to your turkey and mashed potatoes. The commercial features Goodman as the spokesperson for the product, and his deadpan delivery only adds to the absurdity of the concept.
The episode also features musical performances by Everclear, who perform their hit singles "Everything to Everyone" and "I Will Buy You a New Life". The band's raw, energetic sound is a perfect match for the SNL stage, and they bring the house down with their electrifying performances.
Overall, Saturday Night Live season 21 episode 15 is a classic episode of the long-running comedy show. With John Goodman at the helm and Everclear providing the musical entertainment, this episode is a must-watch for any fan of classic SNL humor.
