Why is Christopher Walken the "Patron Saint of the Cowbell"?

[Jara sang]

I've never seen the skit.

[GCP]

1. "This track needs more cowbell"

Talking about "Don't fear the reaper" in a SNL skit I believe.

[Jara sang]

3. Walken was in the sketch?

7. Da

10. Yeah. He Played The Superproducer for BOC In The Skit

Another great line: "I put my pants on one leg at a time, just like anybody else. The difference is that once my pants are on, i make hit records."

14. Watch Horatio Sanz's head in that skit

I couldn't stop laughing when I noticed.

A lot of subtleties. Jimmy Fallon's inability to stop laughing is funny too.

4. I knew I found a "home" here when...

I saw all the cowbell jokes.The only one that has come close to that sketch since then is "The Barry Gibb talk show"

[LynneSin]

6. I love the Barry Gibb talk show

that's another classic - but Cowbell is the best :D

[Patiod]

13. I don't know - the one where he was talking to a census-taker

made me cry.

15. I'm very much in the minority here--but that sketch SUCKS!

The last SNL cast that was funny had Eddie Murphy in it.

16. "You'll all be wearing gold plated diapers"

"What does that mean?"
