I remember an old SNL episode from I think 1988 or 89. It was shown on MTV, when we got the original UK-MTV in Germany, and not yet that German version. So it must have been in the late 80ties or early 90ties. It was a SNL-show where Bryan Ferry appeared with two or three songs of his then new album (that's why I watched it).
Well, I remember there was some joke in this show, which was called "Pizza Boys" or something like that... starting rather boring and unfunny and ending in a sexual innuendo ("you need a massage?" or something like that) - it was meant to be funny, but made me feel a bit uneasy watching. I did not know anything about a connection of "pizza" and "sexual abuse" then, of course, but I never forgot about that stupid joke (and I forgot all the other crappy jokes of that show). I know I recorded the Bryan Ferry part on an old VHS-tape, and there is a little chance, that the rest of the show also was recorded. But maybe someone else here remembers that? Maybe it was shown more often in the show? (I am not an SNL expert).

Re "Pizza Boys:" One of my friends whose abuse started with the Catholic church said they referred to the kids as "sandwich boys," which was shorthand for, they wanted a sandwich and a boy, no, forget the sandwich, just send the boy.
