Cowbell sketch links
Walken on SNL DVD
A best of Christopher Walken on Saturday Night Live was released on 7 September 2004 in Region 1 format. Unfortunately it is only a small selection of his sketches on SNL. If you would like to see more, perhaps you could try emailing snl@nbc.com
or Lions Gate general-inquiries@lgf.com or Broadway Video jsandberg@broadwayvideo.com (the distributor). Perhaps if they get enough requests for additional DVD releases, they might consider it!
