She deserved an Emmy for not reading cards on SNL like all SNL cast and hosts do. Also, she's an amazing actress, in general. I've been her fan since, "The Flying Nun. 🥰

@Nerd_in_Norway she was this good beccause "Jesus was with her" 😄😂

I was waiting for her to deliver the line... "You like me, Jesus! You really like me!"

Her transition at 6:07 is gold

Some actors really act on the show: she was, Gabriel Byrne did, John Goodman, Alec Baldwin, Steve Martin, Richard Pryor, Candice Bergen...

Upvote for actually knowing her name, unlike seemingly every other person on youtube. (It's Field, not "Fields")

as gifted as underrated. She can deliver spectacular performances. Great actress

One of the reasons she's so good is that she's versatile.

@@YeshouaNitzhareth she isnt underrated..and stop abusing that word so much ffs!!

@@emillyyelen5169 wow don't be that angry ;) It is only a way to say that she should've deserved more recognition for her talent. It is well known that she (like many other great actors -l. di caprio f inst.) has been kinda ignored and relegated to tiny roles for years ....roles in which nonetheless I think she was stunning.

Did butter fall from heaven to help the rice not stick?

@@betha.6279 I like rice that's a little sticky.

Imao

It's good to pray over small things...because if you pray over smaller things it means you aren't waiting until bad things happen to pray..but...praying over rice...that's a stretch

@@williamgullett8071 Come on though.... praying to let the rice not get sticky.... people back in - say, 30 AD - had far more important "small things" to worry about on a day-to-day basis. I wish my life was so carefree and flawless that was the type of thing I prayed for. It's more of a mockery of "praying" than anything else, but of course someone will take the joke and actually defend it.

Seems as google getting constantly hilarious questions and helping about not very important things .😂

Those little facial movements also completely sold the skit.

I suppose Santa Claus is your idea of God the father also huh? Wrong

@@jjphank they're on a par.

He was also blessed with painty things artistic talent. He wasn't blessed with a loving heart to a "good wife", though. Oof. What a tragedy.

@@fmargaret2825what good wife? She was an addict and he was moving on to protect his children. She then shot him.

Thats Sally Fields. She won the Oscar for best actor

Absolutely. Both of them were great. You see why Sally has so many accolades.

@Craig Johnson, totally agree. Hartman is the best Jesus ever.

@@jessedupuy4124 I'd say she deserved that Oscar. And maybe another one for this skit.

Yes! Every word of this.

*Hey! Depending on the stairs and the vacuum, that might have been a serious accident!*

She forgot to ask for a good parking spot as well.

These are the things people pray for when they have no trust at all that their god will get anything right or show any kindness unless they pray for it. I think the least anyone should expect of a god is that they can actually handle things without being asked or told all the time, like a stubborn child.

No adulterer shall enter the kingdom of heaven, why do you think his wife shot him?

@@tsfurlan- Er … King David? Bathsheba? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

@@tsfurlan That flies in the face of Christianity, which teaches that the path to heaven is through the redemption of sin by accepting Jesus Christ as your savior.

Wow--I guess Donald Trump isn't entering the kingdom either. What a shame. Plus isn't there that thing about it being easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter heaven? Please alert today's Pharisees that they're backing the wrong horse!

😅😅😅😅

Indeed! Such a tragic loss. 😥

Yeah, he was hilarious.

There is none quite like phil hartman was!!

Brynn couldn't handle living in the shadow of her husbands spotlight and it had a tragic ending. I grew up with him on SNL/The Simpsons/News Radio and I even remember him on PeeWee's Playhouse.

When you marry a nut job (Brynn) like Hartman did .........

I knew people were going to be commenting on that. 😆

Praise be 🙏🏼

Phil Hartman really nailed Jesus! LMAO

He was great in the skit where he was Jesus he and wanted to talk to Dick Clark.

Ouch...no pun intended.

Too soon?

@@ralph3333🤣

it was a really good “i know”

Even Jesus says, `'~'` 0nly Sally could conjure the level of commitment and emotion to sell that bit." We are ever so lucky and grateful to have her amongst us!

So true.

I was going to say the same thing. She really is a great actor. RIP Phil Hartman. :(

@@sandrajohnson2489 yeah, dangit, Phil rocked.

Thank you for your insight.

Same!!

@@beatweezl me neither what year?

@@rsprockets7846 No idea, sorry.

​@@rsprockets7846 it says it right in the description - 1993.

​@@beatweezlIt was around Christmas time back in 1993.

Do you know what happened with P hartman and His family in 1998??? Co incident?

and both are as real as each other. she might as well pray to troy

Amen!

to 💀

Mary Tyler Moore, Courtney Love, Bette Davis, Lindsey Graham...

Frankly, I found Sally Field's performance to be even more boring than it was gratuitously screechy.

I know...she was so intense...

My thoughts exactly....and Phil was pretty darn good too!

You nailed it.. started feeling bad for her too

Agreed. The thing where she put her sweater over her face made her shame so palpable. And she nailed that pitiful-sobbing-morphs-into-angry-defensiveness thing.

Yeah, I see what you mean.

This is literally the only religion you're allowed to make fun of.

@@IndyShade Should be encouraged more actually.😂

I don’t think this was irreverent. It actually took Christianity and Jesus seriously, for the most part. Obviously, some humorous takes by the Jesus character but it treats her over zealous faith with a certain amount of kindness.

​@@IndyShadeWhat does that even mean, "allowed"? Cuz if you mean facing no repercussions or voices crying bloody murder, then you haven't been paying attention to Conservative Evangelical Christians in America for the last Fifty years or the batshittery they get up in arms about which makes them the target of comedy. It's called being obtuse, silly buffoons. Maybe stop with the "Harry Potter is witchcraft" or "There's a WAR on Christmas" stuff. Also... Ya'lls have never not made your voices heard so... What's not being allowed? This thinking is why MAGA Goofballs can't be taken seriously.

I would agree. It actually makes a good point. There are many things we are capable of handling ourselves. Actually in many cases that is preferable. @@mikerileyii

"[...] After Sunday School Special [...]" would have worked better.

@@kanyefuck7018 some kids were forced to go to church after school. So this works fine actually.

So true.

Have you seen the episodes of third rock from the sun he was in?

@@w.s.soapcompany94 I used to watch a lot of 3rd Rock but I’m blanking on that I would assume he was as great as Troy McClure in such films as Johnny can’t walk straight and Better start locking the liquor cabinet?

Yes, his loss still hurts to think about. I was so shocked when it happened, hoped it was some crazy hoax, but sadly it wasn't.

I feel the same way. Don’t know why his death was and has remained so impactful to me. I still feel genuine sorrow over it.

It would be an Emmy since it's a TV show but yeah sure why not

Wow. Blasphemy upon blasphemy. Woe. Woe.

@@connectingdots3574 I know it's hilarious!😂😂😂

😂😂😂😂

good stuff.

Praise the Lord

@@irenemax3574 for my mom being such a religious person, she gave me the evil eye 🤨 luckily Jesus stepped in. Plus I brought her McDonald’s for lunch. Praise Jesus and McDonald’s!!! 🙏

@@jesserivas1387 Personally for me, religious people are mentally stunted, that's why them and Conservatives go well together, can't think outside the box.

I am impressed by your knowledge. How did you come by this info?

😂😂😂 oh God it must Be tiring, oh well, Dear Jesus I hope the rice doesnt get sticky

And it is said that whether the Express takes you to the very top or the very bottom, either destination is eternal. There are no smoke breaks.

@@ernestpaul2484 it is said by fools who govern their lives based on 2000 year old magical tales

@@gavincrump9831 To each his own. Funny you should acknowledge the general timeline though. Your criticism of another's belief is really funny or maybe more ironic also.

N-tox there is a Jim Carey movie where he becomes God and is overrun by constant prayers in his mind and on the computer. It's hysterical!

;) Lol... Jesus is like, 'man Phil you nailed it and you don't even know the half of it!'

Wholesome.

I KNOW it happens with me because I pray to Jesus all the time! I am SURE it gets on His nerves, LOL!!

I mean I pray but it's just the nightly prayer and maybe once a week at that. Not every other second although I could do it every night.

If someone can get into Heaven on the strength of being a fine actor, Phil is there!

Look what happened to him and his family in 1998.

I'm an Evangelical and I thought it was funny. Probably not as funny as some others though. I don't pray for every little thing but if I did, Jesus could take it.

The only people watching this skit are the ones who are dumb enough to leave a comment. . .see!

@Meadow Pinkelle why is this a weird comment. Sally Field is such a good actress that I felt so much empathy for the character she was portraying that I felt the embarrassment she was feeling. how's that, just so you understand better.

You are 100% correct. I have dealt with them many times. It's just irritating.

very sad. whats scary is that these people vote.

Nope. It's a purity ring. The only vag he's touched is mother Mary's.

Sad foreshadowing for the actor alas

I mean considering every Nun is his bride, not so much settled down as haremed up.

Please don't let my wife shoot me in the head.😇

@@jenni4claire His wife at the time would kill him four years later.

A luke warm faith isn't faith at all, however.

I have the impression it was not sacrilegious. There was no offense to him, so far as I noticed.

@@daimonmau5097 I would agree. What I loved about it was how seriously Sally took it when Jesus is telling her to tone it down. She felt genuinely bad, embarrassed by what she had done. What is funny is that she is someone who really does want to do the right thing, and Jesus ends up feeling a little embarrassed. The best part? There is a story in the Gospels where a woman gets Jesus to heal her daughter by, essentially, shaming him! Mark 7:24-31 and Matthew 15:22-28. In the context of the culture, the woman called Jesus out. So I appreciated that this had some gentle humor, really.

@@andrewofmo1091 yes,gentle humor with him is no problem to be done. In a almost perfect world, comedians could do some jokes here and there, just not too frequently. I looked at what this story was, it was a famous one, but it was not a "I called you out" situation. Jesus decided to not help her for the stated reason, and the woman was REALLY good on her answer and showed that she really believed in him, so he changed his mind. I think it's somehow when you (if you are catholic) ask for him to heal your son, and he doesn't do. But then you ask again in a REALLY better/strong way, and he does.

His life and genius was not in vain, God Bless him! I am very sad he died in such a violent way!

Actually it's not sacrilegious the Monsignor actually talked about people that do this. People who do this are demeaning what prayer is about. If any one is sacrilegious is people trivializing prayer. In the Catholic church prayer is something taken very seriously and respected. You're asking God's help.

Houseguest. Corny but endearing

So right!

Makes me so sad, and a little angry.

@Pavu Narts I doubt it. Too many people knew the truth about her addiction and behavior.

What he did while he was still here is enough... we all have our time and our purpose... his passing was tragic but I think he did more in his lifetime than most of us will ever get to do.

I hear that. I am part of a catholic Irish family on dads side, was raised irreligious but we did celebrate catholic holidays and the influence was still there. I have seen this myself and told my sister about this sketch recently

Oh, yes indeed. I consider myself a devout Christian, and truly love Jesus, but I am bugged by people who have to reference Jesus in virtual every paragraph they speak, as if they need to reassure themselves or convince others of their faith. How about more gratitude and less beseeching over minutiae, to start with.

It always struck me as a bit irreverent to pray for unimportant things. If hyper-frequent prayer is important to you, most or all of that prayer should be in thanks, rather than for help.

I have used this sketch (by memory!) in quite a few sermons. When The Lord says we should *Pray without Ceasing* THIS is NOT what He meant! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

@@dr.braxygilkeycruises1460 Okay a pastor thinks this is funny, now I KNOW that it's alright to laugh! XDD!!!

Read what happened to him and his family in 1998.

She's a professional actress!

And 2 Oscars already

Nah, i disagree. No amount of prayers to Jesus could help her land an acting gig.

@@anniesok868 just me reflecting some of the other comments about how good her acting was in this clip. I do know Sally Field is one of America’s greatest ever actors. 🙄

@@anniesok868 I'm sure he's kidding.

In my timeline it's Sally Field

@@tubular618 I wonder if Sally Fields and Christopher Reeves ever did a movie together.

@@jedijones 😁

@@tubular618 😏

This sketch has certainly sparked a bunch of debate... What do you think that hidden message was?

@@sharonjarvis-young710Always Keep the Jesus plates clean. Jesus can visit anytime. 😁

@@rodgerbenson6929... Well, according to this logic ... it looks like I may be in trouble... I barely have any matching dishes and Jesus plates are hard to come by... do you you think Jesus will forgive me... Do you think Jesus would be okay with just paper plates? I actually think he'd be okay, you know... because I think Jesus is cool like that. ;)

There’s a way that seems right to a man But Ends in Eternal death- Proverbs something! Death is a continuous state because you sin against eternal God, you get eternal punishment! It’s also the same verse where we get the law of entropy from in science Genesis 2:17, The first sin cursed the whole universe into dying! Adam and Eve ate from the fruit and they were promised they would die that day and adverse and they did not die in a finality state they started dying spiritually and physically; death is a continuous state, you’ll never be annihilated in hell! You need to escape hell now there’s no 2nd chances on judgment day!

Yep....to me the hidden message was all those sickeningly hollow words after each mass shooting...."..All our thoughts and PRAYERS are with you.." ...and then no actual human response to address the repetitive serial gun violence. Great segment, great acting!

Your prayers have been answered...

Jesus would like to have a word with you...

Excellent point! DeNiro on SNL is always surprisingly stiff, to me.

She's not reading the cue cards. She did the work and committed her lines to memory. That's what a trained actor does.

@@charlie-obrien SNL is sketch performing, not acting. From what I've read, the performers need the cue cards because the lines will get changed nearly up until showtime. For some reason, though, the 80s cast rarely appeared to be looking at the cue cards.

😂

yea most of them are praying for politics

Justin Credible good Lord, no. Let me tell you, I love Jesus, but it bugs me to be around people who can’t get through a paragraph without out “praise His name,” “He is so good”, or referencing Jesus in some other way. Like they need to assure themselves and convince others of their faith.

Justin Credible I am a well educated person who was an atheist for years. I have heard every argument for and against faith and have my own very good reasons for my own faith. Take care.

Justin Credible Justin, you wouldn’t believe me if I told you. It was certainly proof enough for me.

@@tonibauer2949 I am an Atheist who was once Christian and, my opinion is, no one should badger anyone about their faith or lack of it. I wish you peace.

@nimrodian will do.

@nimrodian and Gidget.

Smokey and the Bandit.

Her biggest TV roles she’s a young adult/teen Gidget and the Flying Nun

See my comments a bit redundant considering the other responses

She's amazing !!

Rockomax 👍

Lol

😀

🤣 amen

You wish ....

kindly of course. and theologically sound.

Great physical comedian for sure

Wayne T Did you get mental help?

Wayne T keep doing it , he already cares enough to know the number of hairs in your head, he already gives you the breath , and he loves that , and totally welcome

I get you Wayne T and agree with you. Faith is about pursuing nature and life flow, and doing the right thing at the right time, not stalking Jesus and taking advantage of Him, or asking Him to be responsible always for our lifes so we can remain unconscious, irresponsible and dumb.

Wayne T its just a comedy skit, was funny and sweet haha but Jesus appreciates every single little thing you pray about to Him, that's the beauty of it

Lol religious people should be locked up in a mental institution

You could choke on it.

Good one

He be lke nevermind bruh I found one

My mother used to pray for parking spots. She was just like this.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

That’s what God will say to every pagan sinner, “oh you wanna come into heaven? well you didn’t wanna invite me into your life so you’re not coming in!….. gooooooooooo to hell!” And hell is where you’ll go! The party is canceled due to the fire and you may be by yourself. God says,” if you ignore me I’ll make sure you’re ignored” so you need to read the Bible people, because hell is worse than what you think, in your soft western mind!

I am glad it confirmed your bias.

It's not our fault that the Bible belt is a real thing.

Yeah, but where in the Bible does it say you should be so obsessive and superficial?

This is not about what the bible says but whether these kinds of people really exist in the bible belt.

kuribo1 jesus still loves. If he would be still living
