SNL Classic! Behind The Scenes Of “The Continental” Sketches

Whenever Christopher Walken hosts SNL, he does a recurring character…”The Continental” which is always shot from the woman’s Point Of View by a hand held camera.

Here is “The Continental” sketch from February 22, 2003. This special video shows us what the studio audience is seeing as well as the home audience by way of a box insert. I think the cameraman is Michael Bennett, and Wally Feresten is the Q card man. Enjoy! -Bobby Ellerbee

    Nicely choreographed! I’ve only seen brief clips from the original 1950s version of “The Continental,” but Walken’s spoof hits the mark! Funny they should go so far back to spoof something. They generally don’t do that today..
