Blast off! For fun and adventure!

Here's a look back at one of my favorite SNL characters of all time . . . Astronaut Jones!

They only did two AJ sketches but they were gold. Capturing the endearing cheesiness of sixties and seventies local TV productions, these are perfect examples of how to end a sketch at EXACTLY the right time.

Episode 8: Voyage to Jupiter

Episode 16: The Creature from Porpula

Beware. The theme song is extremely catchy.
