I am reading this a bit late but had to comment. I absolutely grew up on SNL and am sad when I quote or reference the Sweeny Sisters and people don’t know what I am talking about. I know have twin daughters who are 16 months old and the thought has crossed my mind many times to dress them up as the sisters for Halloween next year. Halloween after all is for the parents right??? Happy Holidays!

I always loved how their friends would smile happily and request medley magic. The Bells Medley was the best. Well-done, LIncee!!

Hubs and I watched “White Christmas” last night, and I thought of you and your sister singing “Sisters”…maybe you and Jill can do that at next year’s Christmas Cafe!

See. . yet again. . Sisters from another Mister. . I’m just saying!!!!! I LOVE the Sweeney Sisters, and I can’t tell you how many times I have busted out the bell medley at Christmas time. . or well. . anytime!! LOVE IT! I would put money on the fact that you secretly wish you could write for SNL and are convinced that you could bring the show back to what it should be!! I know this because I have the same wish for myself! LOL!! I also wish that you would reconsider the video footage of your fabulous performance. If you post yours, I’ll post mine (it’s me in a top to bottom sequined dress singing, or screaming, “My Heart Will Go On” onstage in Las Vegas. . it’s NOT pretty. . Edith Bunker ring a bell??)!!!!

To Erin – no, the schwetty balls ladies were Molly Shannon and Ana Gasteyer (late 90s). The Sweeney Sisters were Jan Hooks and Nora Dunn, way before that (late 80s). Both very funny!

since we are talking sisters, let’s talk MOTHERS, as in the train wreck of a show that is “Momma’s Boys”. Did anyone watch last night? That show really needs the Lincee treatment!

Oh PRETTY PLEASE Lincee!!!!!! Pretty, pretty please put a video of you in that show!!! I mean really…teasing us like that is not nice. You don’t want coal in your stocking, do you? You know that guy in the red suit is watching! LOL! Ok…just consider it anyway.
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!! Have a joyous holiday and enjoy your friends and family. Warmest wishes to all! )

Don’t feel too bad. Some of us are so old we stopped watching SNL before thee Sweeneys. It went WAY down hill after the orginal cast.

Did you perform “Bridge over Troubled Waters” like when the Sweeney Sisters serenaded Paul Simon?? Definitely classic. Wish I could’ve seen you in action – my sister and I could pick up some pointers!
