Saturday night life brought in the big guns for the end of the year, and while we still have a few episodes left in December, it was nice to have Steve Martin as well as Martin Short there to take as part of the holiday season. We got a new sketch based on Christmas song it’s not for the faint of heart. Especially when the coins start flying around the city.
The sketch begins when Scrooge, played by Short, wakes up after a night of visitations, all the spirits are gone, and he is ready to be a different person for those in town he has made miserable. This is the same setup we know from real history Christmas song. He wakes up, runs to the window and asks the young man what day it is, and when he finds out that it’s still Christmas and he didn’t miss it, he rejoices that he can still help Little Tim and his father. , Bob Krachit.
And that’s exactly what’s happening in Saturday night life sketch. Scrooge gets up, runs to the window, and when the boy asks how he can buy a Christmas goose for the Crachit family, Scrooge tosses him a coin. Which then flies right into the eyes of a small child and blinds him.
It sets in motion a sea of coins that just fly around and blind people because the coins seem to have a mind of their own. Martin appears around the middle of the sketch as the Christmas Present Ghost and is happy to see that Scrooge has changed but is shocked by what is happening. He tries to help and explains how you are supposed to throw coins so that they don’t hit someone in the eye and instead blind and then kill another young man when he throws an icicle at him to heal the wound left by the coin. in his eye.
The entire city ends up dying from random coins and a freaking horse. So the Christmas miracle went completely wrong. Moreover, the coin that Scrooge tried to give to Baby Tim eventually knocked out his crutch and pushed him into the sewer.
