Unfortunately I have only a vague recollection of this skit, but I
think it was an SNL skit that featured David Alan Grier (he would have
been hosting) as a bandleader from the first half of the 20th century
(It may have been another black comedian but I'm 80% sure it was David
Alan Grier). I believe the premise of the skit was that he was an
Uncle Tom in terms of the lyrics that he sang with his band, and they
ended the skit with a historical footnote along the lines of "only
black person to ever be lynched by other black people". Can you find
me the transcript of this skit?

Thanks

I think you're remembering a 1995 SNL skit called "Black People," in
which David Alan Grier portrayed bandleader Charles "Honeydew"
Wilkins, a shuffling Stepin Fetchit stereotype.

Please take a look at the photo here, and let me know if I've got the right show:

Sorry, but I haven't found a transcript. I hope another Researcher
will be able to help you.

Clarification of Question by unclejimbo9-ga on 24 Dec 2005 20:43 PST

Not sure if this is in limbo now -- my account says that it "Needs
attention". Do I just hold on and wait?

unclejimbo,

Your question is fully open to other Researchers. I unlocked it, since
I could not find the transcript that you want. The "Needs Attention"
notice just meant that an acknowledgment of my previous message was
sought by the system. Every time a "Request for Question
Clarification" is sent by a Researcher, you'll get an automatic "Needs
Attention" thingie, even if no actual question was being asked by the
Researcher. The only reason I posted my previous remark as a "Request
for Question Clarification" was so that you'd be sure to see it. When
information is posted in the "Comments" section (as I am doing now),
customers who have opted not to be notified of comments sometimes
don't see the remarks.

I hope somebody can turn up your transcript. That was a very funny
skit, and I'd like to see the transcript myself!

Best regards,
pinkfreud
