View Interview
Robert Smigel on one of the funniest sketches he was involved in on The Dana Carvey Show about President Gerald Ford that never aired until Smigel and Dana Carvey revived it later for Saturday Night Live; on the inspiration for the sketch which was hearing news anchor Dan Rather pre-recording an obituary for Ronald Reagan (who was then still alive) which they overheard; on this experience inspiring them to do a bit with Dana Carvey portraying news anchor Tom Brokaw announcing that President Gerald Ford had died; on having to fight to get the sketch aired on SNL; on why he had trouble getting his sketches on SNL; on finally being able to get the Gerald Ford sketch on the air only when Dana Carvey came back to host Saturday Night Live in 1996
