Novello's deadpan priest is comedy consecration.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Don Novello created Father Guido Sarducci in 1978 and performed the character on SNL over 20 times, making this rare standalone special a cult curio for completionists.
This aired during peak '80s televangelism scandals, making Sarducci's fake Vatican media empire hit differently than it would today.
