[edit] Tom Hanks played Garth's cousin (Aerosmith's roadie) in the SNL sketch
Maybe Craig Taylor was the name of the character (I no longer remember), but Tom Hanks played the character. I didn't make the original change, but the change was correct. I'll leave it for now, because maybe there is a justification I'm unaware of (maybe there was another skit that featured an Aerosmith roadie?)-- but I used to love Wayne's World and I've seen this particular sketch many times. It was not vandalism, Tom Hanks was correct. Curtangel 23:33, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
- Nevermind... I corrected it, with attribution. Not the best attribution, but attribution non-the-less... I know I'm being fussy, but that's what Wikipedia is for. Curtangel 23:56, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Bill and Ted
In the Saturday Night Live book "Live From New York" (By Tom Shales and James Andrew Miller) Dana Carvey points out similarities between the Bill and Ted films and Wayne's World.
Carvey: "I remember I always thought 'Aren't we just doing Bill and Ted?' I thought we'd be nailed as doing a Bill and Ted ripoff. But I think Mike's a clever writer, and he put his own stamp on 'excellent' and 'way, no way.' Bill and Ted did precede us, but I guess it didn't matter.
It is interesting to note that both 'Bill and Ted' and 'Wayne's World' feature a goofy heavy metal-obsessed duo who use quasi-surfer dude speak like 'excellent,' 'bodacious' and 'most heinous' etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.245.252.145 (talk) 17:06, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Sketch vs Film
I surprised that Wayne's World didn't lead to the film. It is far more notable. Although based on the original was available to worldwide audience rather than just viewers of SNL. josh (talk) 02:52, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
