That's from Muppet Babies, right?
I wish they'd air Muppet Babies again, just so i could tape that episode. I remember laughing as well, because i vaguely knew what the $25,000 Pyramid was. LOL! It was then, i finally realised there was an opening in the circle. I had no frikkin' idea how they got in and out of that thing! (I was young at the time.)
Question: In that show, was there any actual gameplay? I remember they spent time over at the desks, and at the WC.

Are you sure he was Hindu and not just very, VERY gay?
[/quote]
Actually, he may have been both. Chris Guest's character was named Rajeev (or something like that).
--- Quote ---Sammy (describing a jalapeno pepper): \"This is a hot, spicy little number...\"
Contestant: \"Rita Moreno.\"

That was funny. What was also funny (funny being in the eye of the beholder) was Jim Belushi as Captain Kangaroo getting tremendously peeved when contestant Mary Gross couldn't get his clues.
As for me, I liked another SNL sketch--the Coneheads on FF:
Bill Murray (as Richard Dawson): Name something people bite.
Laraine Newman (as Connie): Mmmmm--the big one.
Or this moment from a Letterman viewer mail segment--letter writer wants to know when was the last time Dave and Paul (a.k.a. Mr. S) had a fight and what it was about:
Dave: OK, I think it was about a week ago, and it was because Paul wanted to do a band solo and I wouldn't let him do it.
Bill Wendell: OK, let's see what Paul predicted you would say. He said (as Paul unfurls card a la NEWLYWED), \"Wouldn't let him do a band solo!\"
(Herb Alpert music plays, game show bells SFX play as Paul jumps up and down in celebration)
Funny stuff.

Fedya:
In the \"Jackie Rogers Jr.\" sketch, I also liked how they couldn't get \"bagel\", but get \"filet mignon\" almost without saying a word.
Does anybody else remember \"Hollywood Rubik's Cube\" from Fridays?
Track Man 876:
I liked most of the sketches from In Living Color (A show that I really miss):
Win Lose or Draw on the Prison Cable Network
Newlywed/Dating Game
Love Connection w/ Robin Givens & Mike Tyson. Their was also a funny game show reference in this sketch. Chuck Woolery (Played by Jim Carrey) said to Mike \"Maybe I'll see you on Scrabble sometime... Yeah right.\" Mike (Keenen Ivory Wayans) replied with \"Ecstatic: E-X-K-I-T.\"
Tom & Tom on $100,000 Pyramid
The Game Show Family
I didn't really like their sketches from the final season (93-94), so I won't bother to add them.
