Who's On First on SNL?

Many of my posts try to give all sorts of background context for a clip, but that would take years in this case.  So just read here about Jack Henry Abbott, here about "Who's On First?" (or checkout this post) and then consult Ben Douwsma's excellent review of this particular episode of SNL (with host Robert Conrad, from January 23, 1982).  Then watch this clip and, if you still don't find it hilarious, rinse and repeat.  On a side note, this was the first episode after the firing of Michael O'Donoghue, who had been a writer on the original five seasons of SNL, and came back to help in season 7 (but clashed with then-producer Dick Ebersol). #SNL4kidz
