ESPN Classic On Saturday Night Live
In a recurring series of Saturday Night Live skits, ESPN Classic is parodied.

“Such night in England ne’er had been, nor e’er again shall be.”
—Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)

When everything is as it was in my childhood
Violent, vivid, and of infinite possibility:
That the sun and the moon broke over my head.”
