Other SNL Work
Other Handey pieces that appeared on SNL included Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer, "Fuzzy Memories" which depicted re-enactments of a twisted childhood memory and aired in the late 1990s, and the short-lived "My Big Thick Novel," which were spoken excerpts from a very long book in the style of "Deep Thoughts" and which aired during the 2001-2003 seasons of SNL.
Handey is also credited with creating Toonces, the cat who could drive a car. The recurring skit originated in 1990 with Steve Martin and Victoria Jackson as the crash-prone kitty's owners. In 1992, NBC aired a half-hour Toonces special. Handey, who owned a real cat by the same name, once said he couldn't remember exactly how he dreamed up the premise. He said, "It was just one of those free association ideas you write down and look at later and think, 'Maybe.'"

Famous quotes containing the word work:
“To-day ... when material prosperity and well earned ease and luxury are assured facts from a national standpoint, woman’s work and woman’s influence are needed as never before; needed to bring a heart power into this money getting, dollar-worshipping civilization; needed to bring a moral force into the utilitarian motives and interests of the time; needed to stand for God and Home and Native Land versus gain and greed and grasping selfishness.”
—Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)
