Recurring Saturday Night Live characters and sketches introduced 2002–03

The following is a list of recurring Saturday Night Live characters and sketches introduced between October 5, 2002, and May 17, 2003, the twenty-eighth season of SNL.

He has appeared on SNL seven times so far, most notably on ¡Show Biz Grande Explosion!, a sketch vehicle launched to feature his character.

Constantly nervous and fidgety, Calhoun reads his speeches from index cards which he stacks neatly on the table as he finishes each one.

Guests included Dan Aykroyd as Willam's father Patrick Fitzpatrick, and Senator John McCain as Frank McCourt.

Fallon plays Joey Mack, an obnoxious radio DJ who has special guests on his show, but almost never lets them talk on air because he is too preoccupied with his own comic voices.

One such adventure features Donald immersing himself in the modern society which Ken had rejected, wantonly indulging in every imaginable vice before returning to the forgiving Falconer.

He shoots bad zinger insults at the tennis stars and punctuates them with a ragtime style sting on the piano.

A running gag in the sketches is that Mills will tell a corny joke followed by a melodramatic sweeping cue to his elderly drummer, Mackey, played by Armisen, to provide a sting.

Throughout each sketch, aging cocktail waitresses (Rachel Dratch, Tina Fey, Maya Rudolph, Amy Poehler) pass zombie-like between Mills and the camera.

Gunther Kelly (Fred Armisen) and his brother Patrick (Will Forte) appear as experts from an impressive institution or think-tank.

Called on to discuss or debate complex topics (such as tax codes or immigration), they tell the audience that they will present their information in a song, so the nuances can be better absorbed.

However, their songs, while snappy and possessing humorous two-part harmonies in counterpoint, are repetitive, usually contain nothing but nonsense lyrics, and impart no information whatsoever.

On the May 6, 2006 show with Tom Hanks and Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Kelly brothers appeared on Weekend Update for a debate which turned out to be them simply singing, "Ya."

A Seth Meyers sketch, concerning a show showcasing viewer-made and filmed practical jokes, where a certain guest's prank turns out to be a murder.
