Ed Glosser, Trivial Psychic: Limited Usefulness - Saturday Night Live

Ed's psychic readings are limited in their usefulness. Aired 10/24/92

That delivery of "I don't know, " is pure gold. 🤣

[LxPxRxPunk]

"You dont get it...youre wasting coffee!!!!" Best part.

I will always have a fondness for Christopher Walken's shaken "Dead Zone" stare when he grabs someone's hand. My mom used to impersonate his shaken stare when she grabbed my hand. It was something that always made us laugh. I miss her and her goofiness so much. 😔

[rwhirsch]

walken does an amazing impersonation of himself.

Walken gives more intensity and truth to a comedy sketch than most actors do in a serious drama. He could read the phone book and scare the bejesus out of you.

[andrewkelly]

The best hosts always give 110%. He just goes all in for every skit, and I love it.

[Davilla]

For the past 35 years, every single time I’ve gotten an ice cream headache I think of this sketch

[tyrant-den]

"YOU... are going to die tomorrow."
"But I thought you can only predict trivial things."
"Yeah."

[AstraVex]

_"Forfeiting a darker base, "_
is the best start to a sentence ever! 😂

[wysoft]

There wasn't any better guest host on SNL than Walken. Every single episode he was on was comedy gold. Dude carried every skit on his own shoulders

[jamesdrynan]

Funny to see Walken lampoon his Johnny Smith character from The Dead Zone. The movie itself was one of the best adaptations of a King novel. Excellent actors and Cronenberg's direction made for a quiet horror tale. No one who saw the film will ever forget Walken's delivery of one line. " The ICE is gonna BREAK! " A real winner!

[adamdesanti]

What a classic. Great premise, so well executed, Walken's delivery. And the 6 seconds of complete dead air as Walken searches for the line "you're gonna leave the coffee in the cab!" I laughed several times, usually it's just a smile or a chuckle with SNL.

[rickarchambault]

Best line is at the beginning 'I..DON'T...KNOW!" as only Christopher Walken could deliver it.

[marcguerra]

Walker is a national treasure. Anytime he’s on SNL, he just lights up the screen and delivers the laughs 😂

[Nick-zusn]

The sketch, the MAN, the sound effects....undeniable perfection!

[jockoadams]

"Ya gonna get an iiiicee cream headache." Its the most Christopher Walken line of the sketch.

[hehaka]

"Ed I don't want you to takes this the wrong way but you're giving everybody the creeps" lol I always get a kick out of Phil Hartman's delivery.

[ikkhltd]

Dead Zone is one of my favourite movies of all time. So glad SNL used it as a basis for a skit.

[KingoftheJuice]

The thing is, Walken always has an otherworldly expression. It's who he is.

[GarretGrayCamera]

I remember watching this the night it came out and laughing so hard. There's so much going on. I love how they all jump when he jumps and how he clutches the people while he's having his visions. The final punch line with Chris Rock was perfect, a perfect way to end it. No one breaks, no holding back laughter, all pros.
