The rest of the Kids in the Hall Monday archives can be found here.

Oh God, oh God, Nicole let me do this week’s Kids in the Hall Monday and I have SEVERE performance anxiety. We haven’t done Ham of Truth or 30 Helens or These Are The Daves I Know or Hotel La Rut or any of the Buddy Cole monologues or even Mr. Stevenson (Mr. Stevenson!). I am hot and cold with indecision.

But decide I must; I choose the secretaries. It agonizes me to have to pit “Is He?” against “Decaf” but I will be merciless: I will not look back. Everything about this clip is perfect; it is the Citizen Kane of three-minute comedy sketches. From the rubber-banded braids in Scott Thompson’s wig to Dave Foley’s stacatto delivery to the violin strings to the perfectly frozen smile on Mark McKinney’s face as Tanya realizes she’s being sent out to get coffee for the secretaries and not with them, this sketch moves from strength to strength. Excelsior.
