    That is the funniest thing in SNL history, and it's not even close.

    Ted Koppel: Everyone who knew him called him a loner: a quiet young man.

    [CUT to photo of a simple church.]

    Ted Koppel: Stutts attended Sunday School at the Mercy Seat Baptist Church.

    [A black minister sits at a desk with a Roman collar.]

    Minister: He was a loner, and a quiet young man. He attended church, and Sunday School. I remember he was always very polite.

    Ted Koppel: Do you believe he killed Buckwheat?

    Minister: Oh, yes. Definitely. That’s all he talked about.


    It never stops being funny.

    Do MLB clubhouse attendants or other go-fers count as celebs? A can envision a rash of "accidents" between now and the next round of congressional hearings on steroids in late January.

    Comedian/Howard Stern sidekick Artie Lange is a ticking time bomb. And at 40 years old, he'll get you some solid points.

    In the senior category, the 90-year-old Ernest Borgnine is, amazingly, still alive.

    The only way to do it is to subtract their age from 100. Higher risk, higher reward for picking young people. No skill in picking John Wooden, Dick Clark or Ariel Sharon.

    My choice: Jamaal Tinsley, the Indiana Pacer who keeps getting shot at.

    I'd like to start with the fetus being carried by Jamie Lynn Spears, which, according to the Sobchak Scoring System, would get me 100.5 points if she "miscarries" after Jan. 1.

    My original list for 2007 included Sean Preston Federline, but I was scolded for stooping too low even for a dead pool competition, so I changed it to Benny Parsons. Got about 37 points.
