"for some mysterious reason?"

i'm quite surprised to see that wikipedia has no information on the land shark sketches. could someone rectify this? pauli 13:47, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

Perhaps someone who knows what the heck they are can. Me, I came to the Land shark article from Terrorcons, and found it to be a redirect to Chevy Chase, but no one ever bothered to explain why. — JIP | Talk 17:33, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

This should probably be merged with Landshark. 69.143.163.149 13:38, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Title

When merging these articles, I was conflicted -- the canonical spelling seems to be "Land Shark" (cf. SNL books searched via Amazon), but the more common cultural spelling is "landshark" (by a hair: 140K [1] vs. 95K [2]). I just thought I should record that here. --Dhartung | Talk 18:46, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Copywrite issues around video link

I am new here, so please feel free to correct me. I added the link to a site were the skit is shown, how is adding this link a possible copyright violation, but adding links to other websites is not? I can see if I uploaded the video itself to wikipedia (can that even be done?) it would be an issue but just the link?--Gay Cdn 14:48, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] early-mid 80s Land Shark?

I seem to recall there being an episode of SNL from sometime in the 1980s where Chevy Chase, hosting via sattelite with the aid of wheeled television monitors, performed the Land Shark skit with one of the female cast members. The ending, however, was different, as the shark turned out just to be a shark costume over a metal frame, with a TV bearing Chase's image visible through the costume's open mouth. Can anyone else verify this? Kouban 05:37, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
