Throwback Thursday Comedy Showcase: A Classic Coffee Talk Episode with Mike Myers and Helen Hunt

Today we're going back to 1993 when Mike Myers was performing his Coffee Talk sketches on Saturday Night Live.

In the sketches, Myers plays a stereotypical Jewish middle-aged woman with an exaggerated New York accent who sports long, painted fake nails; much gold jewelry; gaudy sweaters; large dark glasses; and big hair, which she constantly adjusts. This character was a spoof on Myers' real-life mother-in-law at the time, Linda Richman.

In this episode, when Linda brings family friend Helen Hunt on the show, they chat about how Helen is a quarter Jewish and how Holly Hunter had it easy in The Piano since she didn't have to memorize lines.

Enjoy!

Wacky Wednesday Comedy Showcase: A Classic SNL Coffee Talk Episode with Mike Myers as Linda Richman

One of Saturday Night Live's most popular recurring features was the Coffee Talk series featuring Mike Myers as his former mother-in-law Linda Richman.

Back in May 1993, SNL started a show with a cold opening skit featuring Myers as Linda getting farklempt because her daughter Robin didn't show up on Mother's Day. She took three calls from Coffee Talk listeners and unleashed a volley of Yiddishisms in the process, while challenging the callers to "talk among yourselves" about two topics.

Enjoy!
