RDA back on Saturday Night Live

Richard Dean Anderson and Will Forte

Did you see Richard Dean Anderson appear on Saturday Night Live‘s MacGruber sketches (a.k.a. Pepsi Super Bowl commercials) a month ago (story)? Still holding out for a MacGyver/MacGruber crossover that is … what’s the word … funny? Wait no longer.

Anderson — Stargate‘s General Jack O’Neill — returned to SNL this past weekend, appearing (with a much-improved mullet hairpiece) in another three MacGruber sketches. Watch them below, courtesy of Hulu (U.S. viewers only).


The new sketches gave Anderson more of a chance to be front-and-center, and to play up the relationship (literally!) between his venerable 1980s character and Will Forte’s spoof.

Will MacGyver make another return to SNL? Catch the show Saturday nights at 11:30 p.m. Eastern/Pacific on NBC. Anderson appears in Starate: Continuum, which makes its U.S. television debut Friday, April 3 on the SCI FI Channel.

(Thanks to Morjana for the tip!)

  • The Pepsi one WAS funny. This one was desterbing on many levels. Gross, I would have stayed out of it if i were RDA.

  • Good to see RDA. The Pepsi one wasn't funny. And, if I remember correctly, disturbing on many levels. This one was great - clean and mean, but I would have stayed out of it if it weren't for Will Forte since it wasn't great.

  • I think they need to keep them coming. Perhaps even a MacGruber/MacGyver movie?...Well maybe I shouldn't go that far.

  • I like RDA and I think he is great and all...but this is below him. This was much worst than the Pepsi one. Immature and unfunny. Will Forte is terrible in my opinion. This is...heh.

  • i had even more fun with this than the pepsi ones. it was great seeing rda and i laughed! :D

  • Universacred - don't worry, you're not missing much. It's nice to see him but these are all dumb... just like the rest of modern SNL.
