Here's an unaired SNL sketch featuring Will Ferrell as Neil Diamond, quite possibly my favorite recurring character ever on SNL. This sketch starts slow, then has some absolute gold a couple minutes in. And if you haven't seen the follow up to The Landlord--the one with Ferrell and writing partner Adam McKay's daughter Pearl--check it out down below. Pearl rules. And she's also Jeremy Piven's niece. Go figure.

The State is coming to DVD!!! This was probably the show that most reflected my humor as an adolescent. Special shout-out to Dmo for giving my tape of State stuff to James Mentkowski's son and never getting back.
