Fans praise Julia Louis-Dreyfus's acting ability on Seinfeld and recall her SNL appearances, debating the quality of her earlier sketch comedy work.
JLD (Elaine) is also a goddess. In trying to keep this a "seinfeld" line, I will refrain from saying that Helen Hunt is a goddess.
Even though she is.
JLD is, in the words of my friend Joe, "perfect." And I can't seem to disagree much.
Does anyone remember her on SNL?
My 2 (or 3) cents

Yes, I do... and all I can think of is how distinctly unfunny these episodes were, which is why I find it strange that I like JLD so much now... go figure
Yes! She did this fabulous seen with one of the other women where she was on a talk show playing a hardcore feminist, real rough veneer, but whenever she and her co-hort said a word at the same time, the same word, they'd do this little ritual thing:
Jinx. Buy me a coke. Hinky pinky inky stinky flush it down the kitchen sinkee. Alley Oop Alley Oop. The king of france wet his pants, right in the middle of a ballroom dance, nn-nn-eee-eee-eee-nn-nn-eee-eee-eee eee-eee, HUNH!
After 12 or so years, I still remember this, I don't know why.
It was hysterical.
Anyone else remember this?

Oh God yesss!!!!! When I first saw that skit I was on the floor cracking up like a maniac. SNL that time wasn't all that funny, I thought, but that skit was hilarious. Especially toward the end, when the talk-show host indicated that both women were not to speak at the same time so that they wouldn't go through that routine. Then they both coughed at the same time, looked at each other as if to say, "Hey! We said something at the same time! We have to do the routine!" and the host is yelling, "No, that doesn't count!! No!!!" but the two women start doing it again ... ! Hell, I'm laughing right now just thinking about it!

Nope. You're the only one. ;-) (BTW, I imagine you mean "scene", not "seen" in your first line.)

My fave skit ended with Ed Begley, Jr. running up to her, putting a hand on each of her breasts, moving them up and down a couple of times and running off. Can anyone out there summarize exactly what all the skit was about?
