Does anyone remember "Find The Pope In The Pizza" contest from SNL

https://vimeo.com/140059003

It was a contest that Father Guido Sarducci had in the 1970s with the original cast.

I actually tried it about 10 years ago and sent it to the address on the TV. I never got any return or any reply. Ha!

I still remember noogie air raids and can't wax the floor without getting hungry for dessert ( and that yummy topping).

Lots more. Try puppy uppers and doggie downers. No pets were drugged in the filming ( I hope)

You know one of my faves from many of my posts.



And Garrett Morris singing "Dalla Sua Pace" from Don Giovanni by Mozart.

I couldn't remember if Honorius II was a pope or an anti-pope. That was a great portrait of Clement III though!
