Tony Bennett - Saturday Night Live 

RIP Tony. Unfortunate for us, there'll never be another one like you. ❤

My husband and I saw Tony a few years back in Worcester Massachusetts. At one point he asked for quiet, put down the microphone and sang without it. His voice filled the auditorium at 80 some years old! One of the most impressive musical treats I’ve ever experienced. A real legend. RIP, you did it all in San Francisco and many cities! ❤

RIP Tony Bennett. Always loved this SNL appearance of his.

I love when celebrities show up when someone is impersonating them, and it's even better when they're having fun with it.

RIP Tony Bennett. Such a class act.

"You can't take that away from me... is under 3 ounces" that shit kill me 😂😂😂

Not many real stars can ‘get it’ and not ‘take themselves so seriously’ like Tony did here.. This is immortal..

You could tell Mr. Bennett was enjoying the heck out of this bit---he looked genuinely tickled to be there ❤ RIP

Came here to watch this again as soon as I heard Tony Bennett passed. RIP Legend

“Her toenails looked like a lined up row of barbecued Fritos...” OMG

Tony Bennett has always seemed like one of the most joyous people around, always smiling, and always looking dapper. Just a cool guy.

So they're calling Tony Bennett by his real name then. Good one. I love how he laughs when he says his stage name is "Phony Bennett".

That Anthony Benedetto cat, man, he's going places, let me tell you

From the time I was a little kid, Tony Bennett was a singer I knew of, because when I was a little kid my dad used to play his records a lot and I would hear him singing. And when he'd be on a tv show at night, we;d watch. RIP Mr. Tony Bennett. Condolences to his family, friends and other fans who like me, enjoyed seeing and hearing him.

Alec Baldwin is just simply amazing, Tony couldn't stop smiling and bursted out laughing a lot LOL

His joy here is infectious, and his comedic timing is impressive. His turnaround from intense drug addiction is even more impressive, and his marriage to a fan more than half his age has been proven to less salacious than sweet. (He apparently refused her proposal until she was 40 so it wouldn’t look so weird.) She also was intensely devoted to him during his end days.

Tony really threw Alec with that nose job line ...classic

I crack up every time I watch this. Every time. Doesn't matter how many times I've seen it. RIP Mr. Bennett.

Alec doesn't do a whole lot of characters, but the ones he does do are perfect.

Man, Tony Bennett is a national treasure. And Alec, man, he's just AMAZING.

There's a few frequent SNL hosts that do way better characters than many of the SNL cast members. Baldwin is one of them.

Never get tired of this .. an instant "pick you up" if you are in need of some warm hearted humor .. and humanity .. For Tony fans its great to see how Baldwin has him down .. not just the voice, the nose and his manner of speech, but also the way he holds the mic, and Tony's signature 'self hug' .. (His signal to his millions of fans over the years that he truly appreciates and loves them) .. I read elsewhere that for Baldwin, it was a thrill to do this .. Which tells you a lot about him .. And of course, so fun to see Tony "enjoy the heck out it" .. and barely able to control himself with "Phony Bennett"" .. Oh my gosh .. the Best!!

Tony Bennett announced today under doctor's recommendations that he should no longer perform for health reasons. He's suffering from Alzheimer's. I watched for years how cruel this disease is and how it can slowly take away a life with my mother. But this skit here also shows you that Tony knew he was larger than life and also humble enough to make fun of himself. My mother was diagnosed at 67. If nothing else is good about this thank god he made it to 95 before his diagnosis. A legend.

Alec is spot on here as he usual is with his characters.

Alec is brilliant, Tony is a legend, and a great sport!

One of THE classic SNL skits.

The commercial he does for that nail fungus product was hysterical 🤣🤣

RIP Tony. A class act!

ALEC'S impression was so good, that they seemed and acted like father and son...

Tony Bennett just laughing at all the jokes shamelessly.

Two Geniuses having a blast. Made me laugh out loud like it did when I saw it live. Magnificent. A testament to humanity. I cannot oversell this. Spot effing on.

A.B. is an amazing talent and who doesn't love Mr. Tony Bennett! Best skit ever 😆😊

RIP Tony - What a great, great, great guy

This skit is what I first thought of when I heard the news today, July 21, 2023. RIP Tony Bennett!

Had to come back to this today. R.I.P. Tony

Had to come back to this on this day. RIP Mr. Bennett!

The Lamisil commercial was hilarious , especially when he said her toenails looked like a row of barbacued fritos

Tony was such a sport about this. A great great sport.

Tony is the greatest. He's one of the last from the Golden Age of Entertainment.

That was amazing. Tony Bennett is the man. He was funny as Hell.

One of my all-time favorite SNL skits… Just great!!! 🎤❤️😆📺

Just going down memory lane watching all the Tony Bennett vids out there and I forgot about this one. He was great in the skit and a great sport to play along. The best parts were his Phony Bennett stage name and when he turned to the camera for the fake ad plug. One of the best entertainers ever. RIP Mr. Bennett.

What a great sport Tony Bennett was in this sketch. He was a legendary performer. May he rest in peace🙏

I love Tony Bennett. I even love Phony Bennett!

on the one occasion that I met him he sparkled when he smiled at me. a verve and a vibe I will never forget. now that he is diagnosed with dementia that memory, and this bit, are even more precious to me. tattisimo auguri, Senore Bennedetto.

Last of the great entertainers. Rest in Peace.

Mr. Bennett enjoyed this immensely. Me too, "PUDDLE OF MUDD!" especially.

He was made famous by a Black legend, Pearl Bailey, who he used to open for. Like many famous Italians of the time, Tony fought and supported The Civil Rights Act and marched with MLK and many others for voting rights. While never considering himself a jazz singer, he fought to change the racist laws and segregation his Black jazz singing partners faced in their travels. A true hero!

God Bless Maestro Bennett and Mr. Baldwin: This skit is one of SNL's best in my view.

This is many reasons why Tony Bennett could connect with so many generations. One of kind! We'll miss yah Tony🎙🎶

I don't know how Baldwin did NOT break character during this one!

by far the best thing Baldwin has ever done...spot on. Nice touch using Tony's real name as his character name too.. and RIP to the great Mr B. Last of the greats of the Greatest Generation. He truly was "great"...

This skit was two halves of a hoot!

Had to revisit this one with him on my mind. This is, and always has been one of my all-time favorite sketches. Not only those BARBECUED FRITOS, but Tony's cracking up with the rest of us at "Phony Bennett." Great sport, talented man.

RIP Tony "Phony" Bennett. You were a great, great entertainer. Catch ya on the flip!

Tears of laughter and tears of sadness. A great entertainer and a wonderful person! You will be missed. Than you Tony Bennett

He’s a nice fella, works in the locksmith trade.

This skit was just great great great!

two American treasures here. Just funny as hell!

It seems to me that Tony didn't read the lines before hand . Every time he reads a card he laughs as if it's the first time he saw it too

One of the BEST SNL skits ever--truly. Thank you.

You can tell Tony’s been at Showbiz forever. Has a skit done entirely around him, by a legendary actor who’s honed his chops on nailing the impersonation. At the end of the sketch, after Alec whispers in his ear all the gushing gratitude he could muster, instead of basking in the momentary applause, and join his protege in finishing the sketch by hamming it up a few seconds more, Tony turns to the crew off stage, looking to pass off the microphone and get on with his evening.

As a kid growing up in Astoria, I used to tell myself I needed a plan to escape and new I couldn’t sing like Tony Bennett. I finally made it out of there, and years later had the pleasure of meeting Mister Bennett after a show at the back door of a concert hall. He was as nice as he seems here in this video. I am very proud of the fact that he is from Astoria, and never forgets his roots. I have seen him in concert many times over the years and he is simply amazing. Still going strong at almost 90.

aww, this was so adorable. why doesn't it have more views and likes? I loved it. 🥰

I met Tony Bennett once in San Francisco at Borders Books. I was in the music/CD section looking at a book. The place was empty, but I then sensed someone standing behind me, so I turned around and there he was. I said are you Tony Bennett and he said yes I am and shook my hand. He told me he was just visiting some friends in town. Then some people recognized him and stared asking him to sign CD's for them etc. and I went back to reading. A couple minutes later he comes back to me to talk about music!!! I couldn't believe it. What a nine man to take the time to chat with me! RIP Sir.

Tony Bennett might be the best guest of all time

"I love things that are great!"

That must've been a rare treat to get introduced by his real name.

These are great to look at after Tony died. Great rapport between these two.

I am by no means and Alec Baldwin fan. But he is a very good actor. And his imitation of Tony Bennett brings tears to my eyes. I cannot stop laughing. Tony Bennett is such a great sport.Nice to see there's still some comedy on Saturday Night Live

For Alec Baldwin to nail this, he has to be a big Tony Bennett fan.My favourite SNL sketch of all time.

@ 5:26 While holding the bottle of Lamisil, Tony turns and looks at the camera! HILARIOUS!

😢that’s freaking hilarious 😂 God bless Tony

That nose is a work of art

R.I.P. Tony. Thank you for all the great songs and music.

Tony Bennett was A class act

This was just a treat...made me laugh so hard. Really needed it too. God bless them both. 👍

As usual, Baldwin killed it on stage.

RIP Tony! Had to watch this today!

His delivery of "Phoney Bennett" was hilarious, like you could tell he enjoyed that punchline

I can watch this skit endless times. Hilarious!

Rest in Peace Tony Bennett (August 3, 1926. - July 21, 2023.)

Rip tony bennet you were really great

Watching this today and crying. I miss him already. rest in peace.

R.I.P. to the GREAT Anthony Benedetto.

Oh my God!! That was *beautiful*!! I've never seen this before, what a treat! I love you Tony Bennett, God bless you soul!

This shows me how cool Mr. Bennett is. He doesn’t take himself seriously. Sinatra would’ve never done this! Ha.

Fony Bennett…brilliant!!!

Happy Birthday Anthony Bennedetto!!!!!

I wept from laughing and the passing of the great, GREAT Tony Bennett. An American original.

Alec's impression really hit the target like a real sharp shooter. Bullseye.
