I personally don't have an answer to that, but then again I was the weird child at 7 watching cartoons Saturday morning and then SNL at night....the shenanigans on that show are deep, deep burnt memories coupled with Monty Python's Flying Circus on PBS (again, way too young to fully absorb) but probably shaped the type of unconscious humor my person embodies.

Chevy was funny and his behind the scenes performance didn't interact in a way that was fully appreciated by the regular American audience.
