There have been many great character4s on SNL over the years, But I think That Father Guido Sarducci has got to be the best!

Don was a genius. his "find the popes in the pizza"bit still cracks me up

[Maniac]

“Like Martin Luther they’re still mad at him.” And I’m dying :)

I am so happy that Guido finally made Pope. It's a huge improvement.

[SweetColo]

Gosh I miss his skits. They always made me laugh!😂😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️

[redrust]

40 years ago. Still insanely hilarious!

[markpettinato]

😂 His skit on “ The Last Supper Check” still has me in stitches!!! 😅

Funny he used the Godfather reference. Don Novello had a small part in Godfather III, and when they went to the Vatican to shoot, he was not allowed in as he was on the list from an unauthorized SNL sketch they had shot or at least tried to shoot from several years before that.
He was just brilliant as this character.

Was fortunate to see him perform at a small, on-campus club in 1970. The guy was hilarious! Still have his book, The Lazlo Letters!

I always loved Guido. I remember the "Finda da Popes inna da Pizza" contest.

[ts-eump]

Will ALWAYS love "Father Guido Sarducci"-have for decades-will as long as I have a memory! TS

[segifford]

Father Guido Sarducci is hilarious. I really love his comedy. I wish he would guest star on snl again!

I went to Catholic schools for 12 years and Guido was right. 'Monsignor' is a big deal. Better than a priest, but not the responsibility of a Bishop. And he never got the promotion. (this was a genius bit)

[viaggi]

After 45 years I still remember this character. When SNL was funny. I am taking lunch break and walking around the office and out of the blue I am thinking of father Guido Sarducci.

[worldissuesmatter]

You can call me Maurice….Steve Miller reference for sure.

[TinaMaxwell-mqrl]

Never will be another Guido Sarducci ❤

[Novastar.SaberCombat]

To this day, I have *NO* idea what talented, genius performer portrayed "Father Guido Sarducci", but if that guy wasn't the PINNACE of perfection via performance, I just do not know what would be. His natural, conversational, yet utterly comedic and compelling deliveries were always outstanding.

[markgrove]

Novello as Guido...ALWAYS funny. The cig/ashtray motif, the nods; I think he wrote his stuff?? Anybody know? HAPPY NEW YEAR folks!
