Father Guido Sarducci didn’t report the news.He reported whatever he felt like — and somehow made it sound official.Don Novello introduced the chain-smoking “Vatican insider” on Saturday Night Live in the late ’70s, delivering calm, deadpan commentary about popes, scandals, and the world… usually with no real answers.Sunglasses. Priest collar. Total confidence.And lines like: “Tomorrow in Italy, it’s either gonna rain… or be nice.”The joke wasn’t the story.It was how seriously he told it.This was SNL when one strange character could stop the whole show — and become legend.#FatherGuidoSarducci #DonNovello #SNL #SaturdayNightLive #ClassicSNL #WeekendUpdate #1970sTV #SNLLegends #VintageSNL #ComedyHistory
