Belated RIP: Tom Davis

I’m not a big fan of SNL’s alleged golden age, aka 1975-1980 but I remember Tom’s participation in the “Franken & Davis” sketches. The two were a pretty clever duo through their cameo in Trading Places and they still did some bits together when Al was a host on Air America. My favorite was an American Indian explaining his people’s creation story to the televangelist, I think it was Pat Robertson.

Tom’s career was spottier due to drugs yet I’m glad his relationship with Al was patched up before his death.
