Hugh Laurie as Derek Acorah

a recent (?) SNL sketch (i think). i had no idea most haunted was popular/known in the US. it's not a *great* sketch, as such. hurrah for fart based jokes though, eh?

Yeah, kind of starts getting funny through repetition, though - in a Sideshow Bob and the rakes kind of way.

I'm *amazed* they show Most Haunted in America though. What the hell do they make of it? Without that rich seam of hubcap stealing Scousers jokes, how will they appreciate the essential comic casting genius of the show?

Sorry, this is months old, but I was trying to Google this video, and came across this.

They DON'T show "Most Haunted" in the US, not that I know of, so I was really surprised when SNL did this sketch. I think maybe five people got it.

There are psychic/ghost-hunting shows in the US, but I don't think there's anyone as "special" as Derek Acorah involved.
