To those who are confused Conan wasn’t a cast member he was a writer. He was just an extra in this skit.

it's amazing that the door guy will become the longest-serving talk show host in history.
he have 3 major show called Late Night with Shawn, Tonight Show starring Shawn & his current show on TBS, Shawn.

[Tee-OhBee]

The fact that he had hosted SNL 5 times before Philadelphia, Forrest Gump, Toy Story etc came out, is crazy to me.

when conan is the coat check, you KNOW its an exclusive club

[BernieMadoff-qvin]

I think we can all agree that Steve Martin completely owns all of the 5 timers sketches.

[D-Loop]

It's funny to think that back then people would never have guessed that Conan would become one of the biggest best night talk show hosts.

It's a hell of a skit when Jon Lovitz, Conan O'Brien, and Ralph Nader are your BIT players.

"Oh please, call me Mr. STEVE Martin" So good... This is easily one of the best SNL sketches, it's so perfect

[jychilly]

Me watching this show in 1990: "Wow, everyone in the sketch is super famous!! ...Well, except for the doorman guy."

One of the greatest and original sketches in SNL history. They couldn’t have done it without the iconic cameos. Think about the logistics of trying to schedule Steve Martin, Paul Simon and Elliott Gould together for this moment—plus rehearsals. So many hidden gems here too. Elliott laughing as Jon Lovitz runs off the set with “my muffins!” Paul with the quip “say hello for me” when Tom takes the red phone. The audience had no expectations of what was coming, so they probably had no idea it was actually Paul Simon when he first introduced himself to Tom—that initial hesitation like “is that who I think it is?” Then a huge ovation. Once it was established that we were getting cameos, the audience was ready to erupt. So well done, and everyone nailed their lines and marks perfectly. I can’t appreciate this skit any more than I already do. Just incredible.

Conan O'brien needs a friend sent me here. Again.

[athenageorgiadis]

I'm here after the "Conan Needs a Friend' clip to see Tom Hanks name him Stephen just to see Conan call himself Sean 😂

"I'll have the Chevy Chase and easy on the HAM" JFC

Was there ever a time when Steve Martin didn't have white/grey hair?
No, right?

"Call me Mr Steve Martin" Classic.

[TheeSocialPariah]

I love Tom Hanks and Steve Martin always steals the show.

Who’s here after seeing the latest SNL where Conan comes back??

[orbison]

Interesting fact is that Paul Simon met his future wife, singer/songwriter Edie Brickell on this show, since she was that night's musical guest.
