Ep 12. Susan Dey/C+C Music Factory

In Saturday Night Live season 17 episode 12, actress Susan Dey hosts the show with musical guest C+C Music Factory. The episode opens with a sketch about young couples attending a 1950s sock hop, where they engage in awkward conversations and dance moves. In another sketch, Dey plays a woman who is constantly moving her furniture around, driving her husband (played by Phil Hartman) crazy.

The Weekend Update segment features Dennis Miller delivering his signature political commentary and jokes about current events, including the release of Oliver North's secret tapes and the Gulf War. There is also a humorous segment about a group of guys who go on a ski trip and end up getting lost in the woods.

One of the standout sketches of the episode is a spoof of the popular game show "Jeopardy!" In this version, the categories are all about famous people named Gary, but the contestants (played by Dey, Mike Myers, and Kevin Nealon) struggle to come up with the correct responses. The sketch is full of hilarious misunderstandings and mistaken identities.

C+C Music Factory performs two of their hit songs, "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)" and "Here We Go (Let's Rock & Roll)." Their high-energy performances get the audience dancing and singing along.

Throughout the episode, Dey shows off her comedic skills in a variety of sketches. She plays a soap opera actress with dramatic flair, a woman who can't stop sneezing at her own wedding, and a troubled teen who talks back to her dad's new girlfriend. Dey's versatility as an actress shines through in each of these roles, and she proves to be a great host for the show.

Overall, Saturday Night Live season 17 episode 12 is a strong installment of the long-running sketch comedy show. With Susan Dey's comedic talent and C+C Music Factory's lively performances, it's a fun and entertaining episode that is sure to delight fans of the show.
