Former Wolverines Lampooned on SNL

Submitted by BursleyHall82 on

Jay Feely was just on the Jim Rome Show talking about the time he was the subject of a "Saturday Night Live" skit in 2005. I had never seen this before.

Tom Brady, of course, has hosted SNL, and he was parodied this past Saturday for his press conference:

Which leads me to ask: Have any other former Wolverines made it into an SNL skit? Harbaugh HAD to have been on there, right?

Is an alum and writer (was a cast member last year) and wrote this sketch last year.  link  The "Best of the White Guys" of the NCAA tourament features several U of M players from last season.

O'Brien rowed crew while at U of M.  He wrote for (created?) the anti-daily, which was the every-three-weekly before there was an every-three-weekly (might be before some your times).

Also, when he and his roommates knew that a real estate agent was coming to show their house to possible renters for the next year, they would pretend to be sleep, lying naked on top of ther beds then BAM, the agent plus prospective tenants would walk in, "wake up" O'Brien and crew.  Their landlords loved them.

or at least that character with the long cape.  And Derek Jeter has been on (and was quite good), and has probably been lampooned in skits.  (He didn't graduate, but he considers himself a Wolverine.)

And UofM grad Andy Kurtzman was another UofM SNL writer (from the semi-old days).

[And I have to stop starting sentences with "and" (and using so many parenthetical phrases).]

Wasn't David Alan Grier a semi-regular at least on SNL in the late 1990s, a couple years after "In Living Color" went by the wayside? I don't think it was for more than a couple seasons, but he hosted and was also in several sketches in that time period, I believe. I think he might have done the one episode where they lampooned Bryant Gumbel - for some reason, that stands out to me.

I recall that game as a Giants fan and thought Jay Feely was the worst field goal kicker ever. Never seen this SNL skit before but its funny to reminisce about it now.

I'm not positive, but I assume Ann Coulter has been mocked. Michael Phelps has hosted and been mocked, and other Wolverine swimmers in the Olympics may have been as well.

I don't remember Harbaugh being parodied or hosting SNL.

He was on a celebrity version of Family Feud though, with other NFL players in the 80's (maybe early 90's?) when it was hosted by Ray Combs.
