Title: Well-deserved
Review: Jon Lovitz first came on the show during the notorious 1985 season, which had an incredible accumulation of acting talent (Robert Downey Jr., Joan Cusack, Anthony Michael Hall, and Randy Quaid, to name a few) but that didn't necessarily apply to sketch comedy. Lovitz, though, shined, as did Dennis Miller and Nora Dunn, and they were the only three to make it to the next year. For the next half-decade he would prove to be a versatile comic diva, bringing a wide variety of characters to the show, including the Pathological Liar (should be self-explanatory); the prince of darkness, Mephistopheles (who seemed to wind up being sued on the People's Court far more often than one might expect); Michael Dukakis (and uncannily, too), and others. Lovitz finally gets his long-overdue recognition with this DVD, and I'm grateful, since he is probably the most underrated performer ever to be on the show. At least with this DVD, SNL is moving back toward its roots, which is a positive direction since it has such history. Anyway, bottom line, this is a great DVD to have.

Title: Classic!
Review: I got this for a friend after I saw it and I had to watch it again before I sent it to her. Time to make the doughnuts! Each sketch was great! I get 500 letters a day telling me you are the worst actor, and I have to agree with them...ok here read this line..."Aaaaauuuuuggghhhh!" Ok be there next Tuesday....gosh, I should get it out and watch it once more. Really great stuff! And make sure to listen to the commentary, lots of insight!

Title: One of the funniest
Review: Jon Lovitz is definitely one of the funniest men alive. He is so naturally funny - that you laugh even when he doesn't intend to be funny. That is talent, but also his guts reacting to this world - and your guts reacting to him.At once vulnerable, lovable and impressionable, he stays in your memory. His characters are top rate and makes you laugh with him and at his endearing facial gestures.Can't wait to see him in the movies and as the star of his own TV show.C'mon Hollywood - find a vehicle for this great one.

Title: SNL doesn't utilize Jon's comedic talent
Review: My fault for buying anything connected to SNL. I quit watching it many years ago. After Belushi, Aykroyd, Radner, et al the show wasn't worth watching. It definitely wasn't written to showcase the comedic talent of Jon Lovitz. Jon is one of the funniest people around when he does his thing. This is a waste of money.

Title: Some but Not All of the Best from Jon Lovitz on SNL
Review: "The Night Hankkah Harry Saved Christmas" is almost worth the cost of this DVD, but where is "The Night Haunkkah Harry Saved Easter?" Oy Vey! Some Lovitz scenes with Victoria Jackson, Mike Myers, Will Ferrell and Mel Gibson are excellent, but other are weak and seem to have been randomly chosen as filler.

Title: Jon's Day, (or DVD), in the Sun
Review: Maybe he never made it to the big bigtime, but Lovitz could do it all on SNL and seemed game to try anything. These highlight DVD's are a nice treat if you had an SNL favorite cast member, and there's lots here for Lovitz fans.

Title: Get to Know Lovitz
Review: As always, pristine service and product by Amazon. Solely, in the interest of perspective, and fortunate to be Mr. Lovitz 'Stand-in,' once upon a time, I was blessed to discover other characters Jon Lovitz was working on. Fast forward twenty-seven years later was a joy and I look forward to Amazon carying more Best of Jon Lovitz. Thank you:)
