Episode description
This week on Saturday Night Jive we watched Harry And The Hendersons from 1987 starring 3-time SNL host John Lithgow and the immortal Kevin Peter Hall in a bigfoot costume. This film left George in a world of wonder while Ben is too jaded and cynical to enjoy such whimsy. Rick Baker won an Oscar for making a terrific character that for some reason the marketing department decided to hide from all advertisement. You won't see Harry on the poster or in the trailers, you have to pay money to see this. What happened? The movie didn't do well commercially but it did inspire a TV sitcom that lasted 3 seasons (somehow) which we get into the weeds with. Is John Lithgow our greatest living actor? Did Harry just run out on his family? These questions and more on this week's episode. Enjoy!
