Gerald Ford Shot Dead Today at the Senseless Age of 83

Of all the characters Carvey did on SNL this is my favorite and one of the best sketches ever. In this sketch from '96 Carvey impersonates Tom Brokaw recording possible news events that may occur while he is on vacation. Mostly invovlving ways that Gerald Ford has been killed. It was the first thing that I thought of when I heard the news of President Ford's passing.

This sketch does not poke fun at our recently deceased president only the absurdity of the situation.

Hail to the Chief!

Actually, that was the first thing I thought of too!
