SHARE Watch Tina Fey parody WBEZ in this 1997 Second City sketch

The Second City Network has dug up this excellent sketch featuring Tina Fey, Rachel Dratch and Scott Adsit from way back in 1997. It starts with an audience member shouting out “banana” and it takes off from there.

Think about that for a second: nearly 15 minutes of riffing on bananas.
