However, a later broadcast revisited the sketch, revealing that Brian had broken up with Denise's friend because they did not share the same interests (which mainly included stalking Denise). It was revealed on the show's final episode that Brian had previously hosted "The Linda Show" as a teenager in the late 1970s. Though Brian claimed it was entirely different from "The Denise Show", it was in fact exactly the same, but with a different ex-girlfriend. Linda (played by

Captain Jim & Pedro

and Adam Sandler sketch. It was in essence a cleaner version of Adam Sandler's "Buffoon" character that he did in his sketches. Tim Meadows played Captain Jim, a sea captain who was marooned on an island along with a sailor named Pedro, played by Adam Sandler. After 15 years, they managed to get themselves off the island and are trying to readjust to civilization. Captain Jim would often make well-thought out remarks, usually peppered with nautical terms, then Pedro would make a goofy remark such as "staring at the sun made us crazy". One episode had the pair making application to a job at

Another had the pair going on a double date with two sisters and trying to socialize with their father, only to have Pedro remark they made their way off the island by building a raft out of dead monkeys. This surprisingly wins over the father, who says any men who can make such a raft, that is seaworthy, can be trusted to do right by his daughters. A wraparound followed both segments, one spoofing CBS public service announcements which would follow CBS Specials saying that viewers should patronize their local library "to learn more about Saturday Night Live". Another showed people manning phones taking donations to preserve Saturday Night Live, in a spoof of PBS fundraisers, with Phil Hartman promising a "Captain Jim & Pedro" tote bag to anyone who pledged. Debuted April 9, 1994.
