Tony Trailer[edit]

A Kevin Nealon sketch. Debuted January 21, 1989.

Portrayed by Dana Carvey, he was an embittered archetypical grandfather figure with white hair, glasses, and a sour sneer. He would appear as a Weekend Update commentator complaining about the state of the world, mainly in regard to many modern conveniences. His complaints always included differences between today and "his day".


All of these rants would end with "And that's the way it was, and we (you) liked it! We (You) loved it!".


Debuted February 11, 1989 in a sketch with Jon Lovitz.
