Christopher Walken's "Census" SNL Sketch on iTunes


Abstract:
Live, from New York, it's Saturday Night!

You'd think that they would have changed it by now to the actual title of the show...

Body:
I've often been tempted to download shows like The Office on iTunes, but I've been holding back since I don't have a video iPod and I think the resolution is too low for the amount of money they charge. However, there was one video I couldn't pass up. I just downloaded SNL's Census, starring Christopher Walken and Tim Meadows. Oddly enough, the only other video I've paid for on iTunes (excluding videos that come free with albums), is another Christopher Walken video. I downloaded it as a test when they first started charging for music videos. Remember, they used to be free on iTunes, although the catalog was a lot smaller.

The Census sketch is probably my all-time favorite on SNL, as it works even better on repeat viewings than Walken's other classic, "Cowbell." Another favorite is from the 2000 election in which Al Gore claims that the ballot was the "single most confusing document in our nation's history."

You can find more SNL material here. May I suggest The Best of Christopher Walken?
