The Steve Martin debt skit is one of my favorite SNL moments of all time.

When I clicked on each of the above clips they all gave me the “We’re sorry, this video is no longer available.”
Where’s the love?!

That Seinfeld & Larry King was greatness!
Barry
Bro, those are great. Seinfield needs to chill. I thought the last episode was a big letdown anyway!
I had forgotten about the Fiesta Bowl. That was greatness. And yes, I teared up at #10. So did my wife.

I agree…number 1 is definitely number 1.

I’m a former military member and a father of 4…the first clip touched my soul. And I absolutely love the gentle man with the enormous talent at the end.
Thank you for posting these.

there is something great about seeing someone with no confidence give it their all and it pay off big. #1 was a good choice.
Faimon
Paul Potts? That’s his name? Seriously? Were his parents fans of the Khmer Rouge or something?
Denny Burk
Dear Faimon,
Yeah, can you believe that? What an unfortunate coincidence (I presume).
Luf,
Denny

Ahhh….Nessun Dorma! One of the two or three best arias ever! I sing it in the shower at least once a week. Great #1, Denny.
D. Taylor Benton
great list Denny, I seriously wasn’t expecting it but I really did cry on #10, man I barely recovered to watch the rest. the Military has always had a special place in my heart, but man that turned me mushy instantly…Glad none of my bros were around..haha, j/k…the rest of the list was superb as well!

Thanks, Dustin. Good to hear from you.
