I think some of the most brilliant bits on SNL were the times Bill Murray portrayed a lounge singer , singing to people at a resort who were disgruntled from being stuck inside on a rainy day.
He nailed it. I've witnessed those singers at some events I went to in New York: a mediocre performer who presumes he is really captivating everyone in the room.
As I watched Murray perform, I found myself sitting on the edge of my seat, in awe of how spot-on he was! In fact, I had the kind of reaction that professional comedians have to comedy: I did not laugh, but instead I just stared at the screen and thought, "This.....is.....funny!"
