Several episodes in the ’90s and ’10s of this classic, long-running comedy sketch show had Vassar jokes. Four complete sketches are here; unless you’re a true fan you might want to skip past the first one (the line is a throwaway in the first minute. Steve Buscemi’s “Judge Judy” sketch and the Aladdin parody are funnier. And the Weekend Update segment in 2019 is a bit of a weird comment.

See the separate post for a whole sequence in the 1977 season where an actual Vassar freshman auditioned to be guest host.

Thanks to Erica Slutsky ’05 and Christian Bagin ’91 for the tips.
