    I find it pretty hard to believe that anyone on the SNL writing staff watched a CBC comedy show. I mean, unless one of them was stuck at their cottage with a 1970’s TV and half-working rabbit ears and had no choice I mean.

      I'm pretty sure there are some writers who still worship at the altars of SCTV and Kids in the Hall, so maybe?

      Canadian comedy is revered by American comedians and writers. This Hour Has 22 Minutes may not be as famous as SCTV or Kids in the Hall but I bet insiders know it. It’s actually pretty funny.

    I live 25 miles or so from the Canadian border, and our local cable system carries the CBC station, so we often watch “This Hour Has 22 Minutes.” I consider their humor far superior to SNL’s.

    Fifteen years ago, Rick Mercer showed up at a George W. Bush campaign rally in my hometown a few days before the Michigan presidential primary. He told Bush that “the Canadian Prime Minister, Jean Poutine,” had just endorsed him. The PM at the time was Jean Chretien, and foreign heads of state don’t endorse candidates in American primary election, but Bush fell for it, hook, line, and sinker. Priceless.

      It’s not the first time they’ve been accused of this. Similar premises happen but after a while, you bordering on Mencia territory.

        It’s a pretty clear rip-off. They didn’t even try to hide it.

      In fairness, if someone asked me to make up a joke about drawing Muhammad it would have probably been something along this vein - there are only so many jokes you could make up about the topic that would not be overly inflammatory. I would not want the joke to involve someone actually drawing him, because most of us don’t want to be killed over a joke**.

      **The vast majority of Muslims would never kill someone over a drawing, but extremists are like a drunk uncle - always showing up at the worst time and making everybody else look bad by association.

          People who like SNL don’t care where their laughs come from because they’re bereft of a sense of humor.

                Is that what Muhammad looked like or is it just a recreation? It... kinda just looks like Jesus with a green headscarf.

                I thought Mohammed shaved his mustache and only grew out his beard?

                I remember reading he got into an argument with some Persian ambassadors about it.

              This was pretty terrible but I always appreciate how Bobby Moynihan sells a character.
