The velvet ropes to keep parishioners at bay are hilarious.

He even took dance away from the town. What a meanie!

Lithgow is sheer genius, the consummate actor. I've enjoyed every one of his movies and the series 3rd Planet from the sun. It may be along time before we see another of his like! Thanks John, when I'm blue I look for your comic talent. You also play a fascinating dark side in "Something evil this way comes"

[veromoreno-diaz]

I John Lithgow. He is extraordinary :-) awesome actor and fantastic comedian

[-Xaverius]

Who else want's this to become a real tv series

[robmarconi]

Victoria must've been a little cold 😂

As clergy I can relate to this sketch. Sometimes it feels like you have to be social worker, psychologist, marriage counsellor, and friend all at the same time.

I used to know a family who were Methodists. They were super condescending and arrogant. Lithgow really captured the vibe.

[normdeplume]

Dana Carvey doing his best Rick Moranis impression.

[kamatemateLIVE]

I see a bit of Dick Solomon coming through

[thekcsugethe_kc_suge]

One of the best all around episodes in the history of the show

[philipterzian]

Except for the giant Last Supper print, more like the Episcopal clergy of yesteryear than a Methodist -- especially with the accent and dog collar. Love the rope line.

[peteraleksandrovich]

He brought even small, throw-away roles to life.

[relm.]

Imagine him exorcising some demon. lol

[kelvintorrence]

I loved 3rd rock from the sun, they where all great in that show.

[JdWi-]

LOVE JOHN he’s so hilarious and talented!!!😅😂🤣😆

[Kasino]

Lithgow would have been a great as the Narrator in Rocky Horror

[dottimcafee]

I had an alcoholic Presbyterian minister just about like this dude

[matthintz]

Hahaha, - look at the rope line to keep people away!

[BetterLifeAhead]

This would work great as a British show
