The Continental (TV skit)
|
|
The Continental is a recurring skit on Saturday Night Live featuring Christopher Walken. The premise is that Walken is a "suave ladies' man" who in reality can't say or do anything that keep the women from giving him the cold shoulder. For instance, he invites a woman to wash up in his bathroom. Once she is inside, Walken -- who is watching through the mirror -- lights a cigarette, and becomes visible to the woman. These skits are always shot from the woman's point of view, so we never see her face, just her arms as she pushes him out of her way.
