"About 80 percent of my act is written before Igo on," he said. "I can't really think about thattoo much when I'm on the road."

Spade said he writes all the SNL skits in whichhe stars. His favorite?

"The receptionist," he said, referring to hisfamous "And you are...? character. "It was thefirst big thing I wrote which worked. People knowme from that."

Spade said that "The Gap" and "HollywoodMinute"--two of his other popular skits--are alsofun to do.

When asked about various SNL hosts with whom hehas worked, Spade had much to say.

"Nancy Kerrigan was sweet," he said, grinningwidely. "She went along with a lot of the skitsand was just fine."

"She was cool with saying the word 'horny,'"Spade said.

"When we had Jason Priestly on the show hewould always go off and say he had to study hislines," Spade said. "But then he was seen at adifferent strip joint each night of the week."

He also commented on Priestly's "Beverly Hills90210" co-star Shannen Doherty.

"I liked her," Spade said. "Sometimes she turnsit on to get what she wants, but she's great."

Harvard's improvisational comedy group On ThinIce opened the show.

John Mann '92-'94, co-chair of the campus lifecommittee, said he was very pleased with theevent.

"It went well," Mann said. "People reallyseemed to enjoy it."

Connolly was even more enthusiastic. "This wasdefinitely the best U.C. event this year," hesaid.

Connolly also said that the council will lookinto booking yet another SNL comedian for a shownext year.
