Shia LaBeouf is a pretty good actor someone should put him in a movie.

Shia looks like Inigo Montoya

The show that they are spoofing is "Match Game." Shia is impersonating Doug Henning- a hippie magician who was big in the 1970's. Armisen is impersonating Paul Lynde, Also impersonated are Brett Somers by Amy, Fannie Flagg by Kristen, and Nipsey Russell by Kenan.

i think his whole ploy was to act innocent and hide in the body bag, so when they find his DNA he can say it was because he was laying on him.

Shia is actually pretty funny

The combo of Amy Pahler and Fred Armisen is hysterical.

So weird seeing Hader being the straight man.

This was one of SNL's best skits ever! Fred Armisen's take on the guy from Hollywood Squares is perfect and Amy Poehler's drunk lady with the hoarse voice was magical!

THIS IS WHERE THAT GIF CAME FROM?! Lmao

Shia's shimmy at the end when the credits roll, is everything.

I'm an old man, so I'm laughing at this parallel universe version of Match Game.

Back when Shia was just "that kid in the transformers movie"

If you are over 40 this sketch is your daily childhood tv routine lol

Fred Armisen's Paul Lind impression is beyond hilarious! Lol

Armisen killed me. Holy damn....'I'm ma-h-a-ha-hariiieeed' *shakes*

This is my favorite game-show SNL skit. I love the concept, the execution, and every actor has so much character.

Fred's manic blend of Paul Lynde and Charles Nelson Reilly is so frenetic and wild. Amy's Brett Somers is a scream; she's clearly having a blast with it. I grew up occasionally tuning in to Match Game on TV and enjoyed its naughty humor; they got away with some stuff at the time. Shia here as Doug Henning is quite good. Henning was a magician who had a Broadway show in 1974 (titled "The Magic Show" ... how creative, LOL). Martin Short did/does a fun impression of Doug. And, yeah, it's very strange having Bill play the character who is not a big personality-- considering he is a wiz at celebrity mimicry.

We want Shia to appear as that magician again!!!!!

I absolutely loved the guy in pink shirt and mustache. Too bad I don't recognize him as he is not famous.

Shia LaBeaof is hilarious in this!

4:19 But wait! He's not dead! (Shia Surprise)

I saw Doug Henning in his wonderful "The Magic Show" on Broadway and he was exactly like Shia portrayed. Our family ran into him in the parking garage after the show, and he still had as huge a smile and magical personality as he did on stage. He passed away in 2000 and is missed.

Whenever I was home sick from school as a little kid, I'd be propped up and under a cozy blanket on the couch, with a grilled cheese sandwich, tomato soup and ginger ale on the coffee table, watching Match Game and The Hollywood Squares. Ah, the 70s. RIP, Paul Lynde and Charles Nelson Reilly, you hilarious old queens.

armisen's laugh kills me everytime :D

Shia's character should randomly show up in sketches every month.

I am genuinely curious about who killed the host.

Shia has always been underrated, he was amazing on Even Steven's, and he's even greater now.

I LOVE FRED ARMISEN IN THIS HAHA

Yes, Fred Armisen I think was supposed to be Charles Nelson Reily, but sounds exactly like Paul Lynde here!

How in all this time have I never seen nor even heard of this sketch? Speaking as a child of the 70s, I'm entranced.

They really nailed the flavor and feel of a late 70's, possilby very early 80's, gameshow/quiz-show!

"I have a secret life!" "Oh, it's no secret!"

Amy Poehler is so funny in this one, I love her so much omg

This has to be one of the best SNL sketches of all time :-D

Love this I was a 70's child. Grew up on these game shows

This is so funny on so many levels. I love the sparkly unicorn on Doug Henning's shirt. Match Game was also known for their "liquid lunches."

That's the best Paul Lynde impression I've ever seen--love you, Fred!!!

So this is where the famous Magic Gif came from

Fred is doing a combo Paul Lynde and Charles Nelson Reilly

This is Shia LeBeouf's best role in his whole acting career EVER.

I know Shia has gotten all weird and shit, but he's hilarious in this one :D

A solid skit from start to finish. I wish they were all like that.

Shia has always been hilarious. I think he just wants to try different acting styles so everyone doesn’t type cast him.

4:30 All I heard was Sam Whitwicky and Mutt Williams (Henry Jones The Third)

would like to see some comedy movies with shia he is rly good

One of the greatest sketch premises of all time.

i wish every skit was of this quality. compared to the usual skit on this show this one is superior.

2:46 if you come here for the GIF, this is for you

Fred's Paul Lynde impression is spot on!

It's 2020 and only now did I see the source for the magic Shia LaBeouf meme comes from

Amy and Fred are perfect in this

Paul Lynde impression is so good

I've watched a lot of Match Game and this is stupidly accurate XD

"Mouth whoopie" lmao!!

Fred makes magic everytime

This is the first time in a while Shia brought me back to his Even Steven days….he’s really good with timing.

That was a pretty fantastic Paul Lynde impression despite Fred not playing Paul Lynde.

Love how Kenan is also in classic SNL

Now that was hilarious. I love everything Fred Armison does. I used to love Paul Lynde so much. He was hilarious on Hollywood Squares.

As individual character performances go, this is pure gold.

Shia is doing a spot on impression Doug Henning. Look him up and you'll see.

This skit lives in my mind rent free

One of the most famous GIFs in internet's history

I've always wondered where this meme was from. Hilarious😂 2:45

So much gold! This was a golden era of SNL IMO

Some of the greatest SNL actors randomly together in a very silly and hilarious skit. The sole tolerable appearence of Shia LaBoeuf on... earth. This is just perfect.

if any one was ever to make a movie about Frank Zappa, he would have to be played by shia la beouf dressed like this!

Oh it's no secret! This is 70's gold.

Freds Paul Lynde impersonation is off the charts

By far one of the best newer era snl skits

You know you seen way too many match game episodes when you know exactly the celebrity each cast member is trying to portray even though the names are slightly changed.

2:38 For some reason the way he says “coat pocket” has really stayed with me all these years

LaBeouf is hilarious and Fred's shoulders XD

Shia has always been one of the best actors out there.

i'm 52, and this is just spot on funny as fucking hell to me. i remember all those shows from the early to mid 70's. just didn't understand how funny they really were as a little kid... and goddamned DOUG HENNING !!!

Everytime Shia mouths “magic” it gets funnier and funnier

Thank you Drew for putting me on to this sketch!

Shia was the best.

🤣😂🤣😂 Worthy or rewatching again & again!

I’m ashamed to say I haven’t had a chance to know who the woman in the blue dress is, but man she was hilarious in this to me. When she peek-a-boo’d from her eyes and then her chest, I fell out of the bed 😂

If you don't know the game show "Match Game" from the 70s, you couldn't even begin to appreciate this!

HE looks like Freddie mercury with the moustache lol

Top 10 greatest SNL moment of the past decade

Fred Armisen is doing an excellent Uncle Arthur impression.

This sketch really caught the essence of Match Game. Amy did so well as Brett Sommers and the guy that played Paul Lynde cracked me up. Shia was spot on as the magician; I didn 't see this episode, and I didn't even realize it was him. Hader is great in every character he plays. I would have loved to have seen his take on the host, Gene Rayburn.

Wiig's intro is pure genius.

I wish this one was 3x longer. Shia playing that magician I could watch all day man.

bill's little dance at 4:40 is the cutest thing

"i have a secret life" 😂

i love amy's laughing 😂

....I literally cannot stop watching

The magic guy is the best! lol xD

I WATCH THIS LIKE EVERY DAY FOR THAT GUYS LAUGH HAHHAHAHAHAHA

Shia bringing some high art to everything he does

I seem to have lost my card, do you mind checking your left coat pocket 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Lolz, Shia's Doug Henning is spot on 🤣

When Shia came into mainstream recognition back in Constantine and iRobot I believed that the guy had the chops to be as good an actor as some of the best in the business, he had some missteps along the way but I think now he's on his way to proving me right.

I can’t stop watching this it is hilarious 😂

I know Armisen was supposed to be Charles Nelson Reilly but he could've passed for Paul Lynde . Either way he was hilarious....

The nonstop cackling kills me
