KB’s Geek Out Moment Of The Day Of Which Probably Doesn’t Matter To You
Hulk Hogan and Saturday Night Live Edition.So here’s something you may not know about me: my uncle is a stand up comedian, and he’s actually a pretty good one. His name is Rich Hall (You Europeans may know him better as Otis Lee Crenshaw, a character he often plays) and he was good enough to win an Emmy Award for writing on the David Letterman Show and appeared as a cast member on Saturday Night Live for a season back in the mid 1980s.
Well as you may know, Saturday Night Live’s 40th Anniversary is coming up and VH1 Classic has been airing a marathon of almost every episode of the series (it’s almost over now). On a whim, I searched through my cable box for anything my uncle was in and recorded his episodes from the marathon. The last one had some special guest stars: Hulk Hogan and Mr. T., from the night before Wrestlemania. They were in a sketch together with my uncle and it very well may be the most amazing thing I’ve seen since…..eh since the last NXT special but it was still cool to see.
His Comedy Central presents as Otis was one of the funniest ones I remember. Cool story.
Wait. I have an Otis Lee Crenshaw Comedy Central taping on my phone. Ill be damned.
YOUR UNCLE IS RICH HALL?!?!. I have seen him live 4 times in England. Such a small world but your uncle is one of favourites comedian’s.
You’re ahead of me as I’ve only seen him live once and that was on Christmas Day several years back.
I remember Rich Hall. Wasn’t he on Not necessarily the news? I can’t believe I remember that, unless I’m wrong, in which case I don’t.
Yep that’s him.
