Wacky Wednesday Comedy Showcase: Gilda Radner and Steve Martin Spoof Original Astaire-Charisse "Dancing in the Dark"

In 1978 Saturday Night Live ran a spoof of the famous Central Park dance scene between Fred Astaire and Cyd Charisse in the 1953 movie The Band Wagon. It featured Gilda Radner and Steve Martin attempting to do the same steps as Astaire and Charisse. 

But instead of grace and elegance in the dance, Radner and Martin prance clumsily around the floor and stage of the nightclub set.

If you don't remember the original Astaire-Charisse number, we're including a video clip of the classic dance just below the SNL version.

Enjoy!
