Dick in a box

Lorne Michaels: “I think that YouTube is great, because if you do something like ‘Dick in a Box,’ someone in Pakistan can see it.”

Perhaps no other network show has gotten more out of the free video-sharing Web site than Saturday Night Live. Indeed, at the very moment the long-running program seems to be emerging from a years-long slump, producing sketches—not just lip-synch bloopers—that people actually want to share, discuss, and watch again and again, YouTube has been there, doing more to re-establish the show’s cultural relevance than any honcho at NBC.

If you have never seen the skit before, you can watch it in my video section here.
