Tom Brady/Beck
Sat, Apr 16, 200590 mins
This episode of April 2005 opens with Chris Parnell posing as beleaguered House of Representives Majority Leader Tom Delay. The opening credits roll and musical guest Beck and host Tom Brady are announced. Tom Brady soon takes the stage, and is soon joined by most of the cast to sing an outrageously egotistical song about himself. A fake commercial for an alternative to Viagra is show next. First skit then has Tom Brady at a carnival midway trying in vain to throw a football through a hole in the wall about six feet away. After that, Darryl Hammond impersonates Dr. Phil McGraw, and grills insensitive husband Tom Brady because he has no "emotional intelligence." Next is an involved episode of "The Falconer," which has the Falconer and Donald switching bodies. Tom Brady has a small part as a lost hiker. The TV funhouse segment is a mock industrial training film entitled "Sexual Harassment And You." It is filmed in 1950's style, and features Fred Armisen and Tom Brady as office workers who know the wrong and correct ways to approach women in the workplace. Next, Tom Brady appears in a genie costume to promote "Tom Brady's Falafal City," an Indian restaurant that he supposedly owns. Beck performs his first selection at this point. Following Beck is the "Weekend Update," with Tina and Amy, who are joined by a surprise visit by Jiminy Glick, an alter-ego of Martin Short. Next obnoxious and hyperactive "tween" Caitlyn torments her step-dad and her "Uncle Scott," played by Tom Brady. Then comes a fake episode of VH1's "Behind the Music," detailing the phenomenon of the 1985 Chicago Bears and their hit, "The Superbowl Shuffle. Tom Brady plays a head-banded Jim MacMahon. Another Beck performance comes at this point. The next skit features Maya Rudolph as a inebriated lounge singer, with Tom Brady accompanying her in a way not unlike Kenny G. The final skit has Tom Brady playing himself as he is challenged by Seth Meyers as Peyton Manning and Keenan Tompson as Donavon McNabb's mother. Lastly Tom Brady thanks Beck, the cast of SNL, and says goodnight.
