Jack Handey was an SNL writer, “Deep Thoughts” was a series of one-liners that aired between sketches in the early 90s.
Loved finding out he was a real person and was a legendary writer.
Oh shit, I always thought it was a fictional name that the writers used for the random stuff that come up during the writing process. Didn't know it was a real person!
Holy shit, he created Toonces!
This has completely changed everything I ever held dear and holy.
I always thought handy was a Hartman character and was him reading.
To find out it was neither Hartman's character nor his voice is .... everything was a lie.
Hartman did the intro.
