The following is a list of recurring Saturday Night Live characters and sketches introduced between September 28, 1996, and May 17, 1997, the twenty-second season of SNL. The Ambiguously Gay Duo A cartoon by Robert Smigel, part of the Saturday TV Funhouse series. Originally appeared on the Dana Carvey Show. Debuted September 28, 1996. Appearances Mr. Peepers Mr. Peepers was a part-monkey/part-human character created and portrayed by Chris Kattan.
