** You weren't alone. On the 25th Anniversary SNL Special, Jon Lovitz cried when he introduced that sketch.
* When Mr. Rogers died, during the last sketch of the night, Sanz came out onto a stage with only a spotlight on him. He had on a cardigan sweater and was saying "A very good friend of ours died this week" and then started to sing "You're Special" and then said "Thank you, Mr. Rogers" and then the camera fixed on a little trolley going across the stage and into black.
** The much-despised ([[Justified Trope|and with good cause]]) Jean Doumanian era (1980-1981), of all places, has a [[Tear Jerker]] moment on what many consider is one of the few consistently funny episodes of that season (the episode hosted by Karen Black with musical guests Cheap Trick and The Stanley Clark Trio). There's a sketch that takes place through the eyes of a man who is laid up in the hospital after having a stroke (his thoughts can still be heard and are voiced by [[Gilbert Gottfried]] in one of the rare times that Gottfried [[Averted Trope|actually]] ''[[Averted Trope|had]]'' [[No Indoor Voice|an indoor voice]]). After being visited by his [[Jerkass]] daughter and her boyfriend (played by episode host Karen Black and cast member Charles Rocket), who only care about finding his will, his best friend, Rachel, (played by Denny Dillon) is revealed to be the only one who actually cares about him (as she loved him, despite that he married someone else) and the one who is the beneficiary to his will. Rachel's line, "I've always wanted you, Morris. Why didn't you ask me? Why was it Ruth you married?", the way she takes one final look back at him before she leaves (knowing that {{spoiler|he's going to die}}), and the ending of the sketch ({{spoiler|in which the man is put under with a sedative and sings a song that he remembers from when he was with Rachel}}) is heart-wrenching.
