Simon would be funny in SNL skits, but is so annoying on Frasier. Also, the characters of Kirby and Poppey seemed more like SNL skit comedians than sitcom.
Another thing about Julia Sweeney I vaguely remember is she made fun of Chelsea Clinton on SNL and Hillary was not at all amused.
I am sort of a buff of the old SNL shows and I remember the one with Clinton's inauguration... Madonna (as herself) was singing happy inauguration ( the same way Marilyn Monroe sang happy birthday to Kennedy) and in a booth were Clinton, Hilary and Chelsea (I believe it was Julia Sweeney who played her although I am not sure) Madonna kept winking at the booth and (fake) Clinton thought it was him, turns out it was Chelsea. I don't know if it was an implication that Chelsea was gay. I don't follow that kind of thing all that much but the bit was funny enough.
