Ironic Sans has an interview online with Louis Klein, a *really* dedicated Saturday Night Live audience member who was waiting in line for this 528th show.
The interviewer met Klein 15 years earlier while waiting in line for SNL tickets, and decided recently to go back and see if Klein was still as dedicated as ever.
From the interview:
I seem to remember that 15 years ago you told me Tim Kazurinsky mentioned your name during a Weekend Update segment.
No, no. Not Weekend Update. It was in a sketch that he did. The Guru
sketch. His name was Havnagootiim Vishnuuerheer [pronounced
“havin’-a-good-time wish-you-were-here”]. What he was doing was he was
answering Unanswered Questions of the universe. So he invited everybody
in the country to write in unanswered questions that they had, and he
picked one of mine, and all of a sudden I’m at dress rehearsal and he
says, “Louis Klein from Ridgewood New York wants to know, does God wear
Pajamas when he sleeps?”
And what was the answer?
The Guru says, “No he doesn’t. All he wears is a t-shirt. and on the
t-shirt it says I created the universe and all I got out of it was this
lousy t-shirt.” That was a Flip Wilson show in December ‘83.
Did they mention your name on any other episodes?
Yes, they did. And Jamie too. This was in April of 2004. Will Ferrell
was the host. And he was doing the Pepper Sketch, where Will was
putting pepper on Will Forte’s salad. And the character’s name was Dr.
Louis something, and his wife Jamie. In honor of my 500th show.
Who was the writer that wrote you into the script?
Will Forte.
Great find man, thanks.
