Customs - Saturday Night Live 

She could had prevented September 11.

"Who can turn the world on with her smile...."

For all you youngins who don’t know, Mary Tyler Moore, is a national treasure, a tv comedy icon, and trailblazer, the first female producer of her time, who spawned a tv comedy spinoff empire, a brilliant comedic and dramatic actress, and an amazing figure in television history. Did we leave anything out? Oh yeah, she was not only gracious and kind in real life, but a true professional. I know you love her as Laura Petrie, but Mary Tyler Moore went on to make history as one of its most influential superstars.

This is the kind of customs officer that will make you declare contraband that you don't have.

Awww it is Mary Tyler Moore!!! This character suits her well. RIP....

I'm pleasantly surprised to see Ben Stiller in an SNL skit with Mary Tyler Moore. They would later star together in the hilariius movie "Flirting with Disaster." She plays Ben's high-srrung mom.

mary tyler moore killing it, a lot of dialogue and twists, she flew threw it brilliantly and disguised her card reading brilliantly.

The ice cream plot was to get him to "reveal" the contraband sooner rather than later...ingenious

Mary Tyler Moore, a real gem.

They missed the perfect opportunity for Jon Lovitz to play his "Liar" character

I heart these sketches! Mary Tyler Moore, I miss you gal! As well loving this cast!

One of the best comedic performers of our time and a great dramatic actress.

MTM reminds me of Jane Lynch with her hair like this

One of Ben Stiller's rare appearances on SNL...

Never knew MTM was on SNL - Wish I would have caught that episode. Looks like they really packed in the stars so they all got a chance to work with Mary ❤ 🎉

good job throwing the passport in a normal way

Mary Tyler Moore was an American treasure

So how come I can name each and every actor in the lineup and they make me smile? And how come nothing even close to that happens with the current SNL? Times they are a-changing but not necessarily for the better.

Basically when the teacher asks you what you want to tell the class.

Phil Hartman was one of the best actors. His wife was very selfish and evil.

The way she chucked that passport at Mr. Drake was hilarious. I can’t tell if it was impromptu, or if it was scripted. Either way, it was awesome.

When al frankin says "what did he do wrong" was really funny imho

Mary Tyler Moore. Nothing else needs to be said.

I had no idea she was on snl. That is so frickin awesome ❤❤❤

Ah Pre-9/11 customs...

Reminds me of Monty Python routine from 70’s

...was Al Franklin in that line?

It's like a real life Troy McClure.

This sketch was ripe for a cameo by Ed Asner or Gavin MacLeod.

Ben Stiller looks so young!!

She's Tyler Moore and she's Mary. She lives jp the block...

You can't lie to HER. There's something about Mary...

I sure miss all those great actors I grew up watching and took for granted. Now I just feel old. I’m the last of the Boomers but wow was TV at its apogee in my day. MTM and so many more were so good. And the best part? No 24/hour a day news cable channels. Oh life was good and we knew it because Walter Cronkite and Roger Mudd told us it was.

Gosh it took me a whole minute to realize the customs agent was Mary Tyler Moore...😍

Wow. Mary Tyler Moore! In a SNL skit! Wow! Never seen this before. She was great.

I love mary I was so sad when she died

as a colombian im more offended by the look than the drug reference

When Mary passed away, I found the funeral scene from “Chuckles Bites the Dust” on RU-vid. It was funny, but not as funny as I remembered. Later on I found the full episode on Hulu and realized that what made her cracking up at the funeral so funny was that she had set up the joke earlier in the episode by scolding Lou and Murray for their tasteless jokes. Basically she played both the straight role and the comic role in one episode. Brilliant.

How did I never see this? Brilliant work

She got the TRUTH from them without any fancy gadgets like Wonnder Woman's Golden Lasso

I was SNL bingeing and csme across this after I saw Sally Field , and here's another all time favorite actress MaryTylerMoore, I like when national treasures host SNL

Mary Tyler Moore was an American actress, producer, and social advocate. She is best known for her roles on The Dick Van Dyke Show and The Mary Tyler Moore Show, which "helped define a new vision of American womanhood" and "appealed to an audience facing the new trials of modern-day existence".

MTM!!! One of the greatest ever!!!!!!!

Is that Former Senator Al Franken who asked "What did he do wrong" at 4:10?

Mary Tyler Moore

WOW Ben Stiller looks so young!!!

This is an AMAZING performance by Mary Tyler Moore.

Sad about Phil Hartman. Murdered by the wife, who then killed herself.

This was fantastic!!!

Miss you Mar!

Hurray for Arthur

Ice cream and diamonds don’t mix. 🤢

this is at least 26 years old..he was murdered by his wife in '98.

What a cast !!

She sounds like my school therapist

Come on Mary tyler moore 💜

I thought that Focker is getting nailed for sure with his suitcase.

One of the best lessons I got, and I used it multiple times, was during and MTM show rerun when, the best I can recall, the heads are looking to axe Lou, so they're asking Mary about his performance, looking for dirt, and she said something to the effect of; "It's not my job to evaluate him, it's his job to evaluate me." It's a good reminder for people to keep their heads about roles.

I miss her!

John Lovitz keistering diamonds didn't seem unusual.

Great actors...so many

What a crazy hair style for MTM back then.

Mary Tyler Moore has that early Karen down real tight

I see you Stiller.

WOW! That's a very very young Ben Stiller in there. :O

Don't mess with MTM

2:48 Holy cow, Ben Stiller!

She's awesome

For those wondering, they do inspect your checked baggage via a scanner, and will track you down if they think your bag contains anything sus and you proceed to "nothing to declare" anyways

She was awesome in this one!!!

Flawless Victory!

RIP Mary Tyler Moore.

Garth!

Compare Mary Tyler Moore to some of the trash actors and actresses on TV these days. She's an institution.

Gotta love MTM!

omg I've been looking for MTM's host episode forever!! This is hilarious and so is when she sang with the Sweeney Sisters (Jan Hooks & Nora Dunn)...CLASSIC! I SO hope to find that Sweeney Sisters clip omg MTM was hilarious!

MTM is so good!

I always had a crush on her and in that clip at that age I still would've wrecked it...

Everyone: you can't get the big laugh with just two words! Dana Carvey: Challenge accepted. 😎

MTM - Queen of Comedy. Undisputed.

awesome :D

Took me way too long to remember Jon Lovitz name.

I don't understand, why are diamonds illegal and have to be smuggled? Is it because of the "exceeding $10,000" thing? Even if they are, why is he going to prison for a long time over diamonds? Only way I can see that happening is if they were stolen.

Butt I’m lactose intolerant I know, that’s the point.

This is clever, funny, and well acted. But also a little sad, she had been so beautiful before..

I knew that face was familiar. Was trying to recall who it was. Thanks comments.

Ben Stiller was on SNL? I don't think I knew that.

Mr Montero 😂😂😂🙏🏻✨🙏🏻✨✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻

Phil Mr Funny

🏆👀

I don’t have anything contraband or illegal I have been good and helpful for the planet. I only grow fruit trees today I purchased 45,000 English walnuts. I’m going to grow those. They are almost worth as much as diamonds, if not more to nature.🐻🦊🦅🦉🐦‍⬛🐈🐿️🦫🦨🦝🐇🦃🐄😊

Guy head down looks like George bush sr

2:43 - Boy, gay model #7 really gave it his all.

3:50 'It took a lot of guts...'

Was Ben Stiller in this scene

miss mary tyler moore still beautifull

At 3:05, I thought Richard Gere was in line, but when he didn't get any lines, I realized it must not've been he.

"It took a lot of guts..." YES I guess it did ;)

Back when SNL was at its zenith imo

LOL a very good idea of a sketch
