Saturday Night Live (1975)
TV Show
First aired
"Pumping Up With Hans & Franz," October 17, 1987
Dana Carvey and Kevin Nealon play Hans and Franz, Austrian bodybuilders in padded sweatsuits who promise to "pump you up" and sneer at viewers' flabby arms, an affectionate send-up of Arnold Schwarzenegger. This one aired in the season premiere hosted by Steve Martin, with Phil Hartman as the announcer. The sketch works because the pair never lose their total, misplaced confidence.
