 * Keep The New York Times wrote that "Walken's Saturday Night Live role as the suave sleazebag in The Continental, a parody of an early 50's show Walken watched as a kid, rivals John Belushi's cheezborger, cheezborger routine as the funniest skit in the show's 29-year history."  The Washington Post wrote that "Walken's regular Saturday Night Live character The Continental is so pathologically lecherous that Walken can barely keep a straight face during the skits." The Dallas Morning News asked, "Why not just make Christopher Walken the permanent guest host and get it over with?"and then commented, "Saturday Night Live only seems to get lifted out of its doldrums when the Continental shows up to stumble through cue-card readings and otherwise rescue smugly juvenile skits from the comfortably numb(skull) zone."  Anticipating an upcoming Walken appearance, The Hartford Courant predicted that he would "reprise his role as the sleazy seducer in a sketch they call The Continental".
