Harry Shearer’s spot-on Mike Wallace in this early 80s SNL snort is second only to Martin Short’s Nathan Thurm, Esq, but the whole of the piece is an absolute pitch-perfect 60 Minutes send-up.

Hold to the now, the here, through which all future plunges to the past.
I will never forget Thurm- his sweaty brow, his unclean eyewear pregnant with deceit, and of course his desperate cigarette. There is so much about him that’s funny, but my favorite tick is his futile takes directly at the camera.
Speaking of Martin Short, Jiminy Glick is one of the funniest characters of all time.
That is all.
