Merengue In Saturday Night Live (The Manuel Ortiz Show)

The gifted comedian Fred Armisen is the host of The Manuel Ortiz Show, a recurrent segment in Saturday Night Live, which spoofs what happens in the TV made in the Dominican Republic.

It's easy to find many Dominican show hosts that kill lots of airtime dancing and singing during their shows.

This situation is brilliantly exploited here, in a very funny way. The reality of the situation is that no one can resist listening to Merengue without dancing to it.

Remember, everyone in The Manuel Ortiz Show is supposed to be playing a Dominican.

This is a sketch from the show that aired on NBC as a rerun on Saturday June 19, 2010.

I could watch The Manuel Ortiz' skits forever. If only I had the time. They're so funny. Betty White is amazing. Everyone should have this kind of attitude.
