The Best of the Clinton scandal is a very funny collection of skits overall. This is mainly due to the fact that Darrell Hammond simply has a field day playing the President, getting the looks, mannerisms, pathetic attempts at apology; all down to perfection. As he mentions at the offset, he couldn't have asked for more prime material to work with. Some of the highlights include a series of T.V. personalities attempting to land Monica's tell all interview, including Barbara Walters, Howard Stern, Larry Flynt, Phil Donahue, Oprah(done very well by Tim Meaodows), and others. There are also scenes with John Goodman as Linda Tripp; a role that he was perfect for as well. There's even a Ladie's Man skit, where he does a demonstration of how he would have seduced Monica if he were in the President's shoes. The best thing about this tape is that for the most part it sticks to the topic. The last SNL video 'Game Show Parodies' was so all over the place that I was thinking this one may have had the same problem, but it didn't. A good one for the collection.

This is one great "best of." Every skit is so funny. I think if you love political humor, you'll love this one. It's worth viewing.

This was a hoot but I wish they showed more of the Linda Tripp skits with John Goodman, those were some of the best!

I found this along with a couple more "Best of" tapes at a local Wal-Mart for only $3.88 each. This tape is great well worth the price. I loved the Clinton sketches.

It was alright, but I wanted to see more of the skits with
Tripp in them. They cut a lot of them out of this, but it
was fun to watch anyway.

Darrell Hammond's "Bill Clinton" and John Goodman's "Linda Tripp" have to stand as two of the funniest comic performances even done on the long-running television show.

They bring tears to my eyes and probably do the same for the pair parodied.

Another great "best of" video. This one is great, a good reminder of all that happened on the show during that time. A must have to complete your collection.
