#27: Cobras and Panthers, Season 22
Even though his firing from SNL made headlines, Norm MacDonald was one of the comedic greats. One of his more memorable skits on Saturday Night Live has got to be the “Cobras and Panthers” skit, which mimics a West Side Story musical number.

MacDonald plays the only person in the skit who doesn’t understand how everyone involved knows the words to a song he has never heard before. He says what everyone else usually thinks during a musical, “How’d you come up with a song so fast?” This hilarious disbelief is one of the most memorable skits in the show’s history.
