Best Ever Saturday Night Live Skits Featuring Christopher Walken

My votes for some of the best ever Saturday Night Live skits involve the timeless and talented actor, Christopher Walken.

My very favorite is a Saturday Night Live skit called "Connie Stinson Talks," in which Christopher Walken plays a Jerry Springer-type television talk show host. The day's topic sounds simple enough. Connie Stinson is about to talk with men who are considering dumping their wives or girlfriends because they have gained weight.

The first guest comes out and admits that, yes, when he first met his woman, she was a little overweight.

"She was FAT!" Christopher Walken yells. "But she got fatter. And you said, 'Uh-uh, no way. Hasta la vista, fat hog!' Right?"

The guests are all clearly startled by Walken's approach. They simply wanted their wives or girlfriends to lose a little weight, to care more about their appearances.

But Walken is relentless. "You wanted the fat hog to lose weight, and one way to achieve this would be to sew the fat hog's mouth shut. Is that what you thought?"

"Good God, no!" says one of the guests. "I just thought she should limit her intake of sugars, or something."

When the wives and girlfriends take the stage, Christopher Walken attributes these terrible insults to the men. "Jodie says you're a fat hog!"

The women protest, arguing that they are content with their appearances and their men should be, too.

Walken responds, "Go girl! You're saying, 'I may be a huge, steaming hunk of fat hog, but that's me. Take it or leave it, buddy!"

Another classic Saturday Night Live skit featuring Christopher Walken is the one that gave rise to the saying, "More cowbell."

The Saturday Night Live skit is a parody of VH1's Behind the Music, and it is a scene that is purported to be from the recording session of Blue Oyster Cult's "(Don't Fear) The Reaper." Christopher Walken plays producer Bruce Dickinson.
