<P> In each sketch they have a guest , always played with a similarly bland personality by the host of the episode . The most frequently replayed installment of this sketch , which originally aired on December 12 , 1998 , featured Alec Baldwin as Christmas treat maker Pete Schweddy , who owned a holiday - themed store called Seasons Eatings . He was famous for his `` Schweddy Balls '' ( assortments of spherical food treats made out of anything from meat to cake to candy ) , which were sold as an assortment in a `` Schweddy ball sack '' . The two hosts and their guest were , as usual , completely oblivious to the double entendres . </P>
