![]() This was followed by the classic fake ad for Oops! I Crapped My Pants which was an adult diaper that could hold up to a gallon of fecal matter that was marketed to people who were too old to know what their bladders were up to.Other than that, it was the same old parody of the real show and other than Tracy Morgan’s random outburst, I’ve never been a big fan of either.

As for the actual sketch they used this future motif to allow Oprah to interview the key players in the 1998 Bill Clinton sex scandal between our president and his intern Monica Lewinsky with the freedom of knowing Bill’s second term was already done so they could say whatever they want. This week's show started with a parody called Oprah 2002 that took us to the, then, future where the first joke was that it seemed like Tracy Morgan was portraying a future fat Oprah but it turned out he was just a pork chop eating announcer who introduced Tim Meadows as the Oprah that we’re used to.The Season 48 Who Wrote That Sketch Thread!Ĭheck out SNL Transcripts for some cool info on SNL and a whole lotta transcripts.
