Tonight’s “SNL Vintage,” originally aired Feb. 17, 1990, features Tom Hanks and Jon Lovitz as the Girl Watchers, Phil Hartman as Donald Trump, Mr. Short-Term Memory and Tales of Ribaldry. Look for Conan O’Brien playing a stage manager and “Better Call Saul” star Bob Odenkirk playing an orderly during Hanks’ monologue segment. This marked Hanks’ fourth stint as host; his next would get him into The Five Timers Club.
“Railroad Alaska” is not to be confused with “Alaska: The Last Frontier,” “Gold Rush Alaska,” “Alaska State Troopers,” “Tougher In Alaska,” “Flying Wild Alaska,” “Alaska Gold Diggers,” “Alaska Wing Men,” “Ultimate Survival Alaska” or “Sarah Palin’s Alaska.” (Hear that? If you listen very hard, you can hear Delaware weeping.)
Returing tonight:
Railroad Alaska (10pm DA)
Sex Sent Me To The ER (10pm TLC)
Among scripted non-repeats, the 11:30 p.m. airing of “Attack on Titan” was number-one last Saturday.
Why no “Doctor Who” on the list below? For the first time this season, the Time Lord drama failed last Saturday to perform strongly enough to crack cable’s top 100.
Saturdays, Sept. 20-Oct. 18, 2014
