In what was supposed to be the Jean Doumanian Era's first stab at political satire, the Elliot Gould Show's oval office sketch as a depressed (and lame duck) President Jimmy Carter (Joe Piscopo) blamed everyone, inluding Jews, for his defeat. Denny Dillon did a fine job as First Daughter Amy Carter. Meanwhile, Ann Risley's portrayal of First Lady Rosalynn Carter was pretty much on a par with Laraine Newman's in the old days, only hornier, as she told Jimmy he had to lose the election. As she told him, "It was the election or the erection." The sketch ends with Jimmy, on the intercom, calling for his brother Billy to come on out to the front lawn. The President draws his pistol from a drawer in the desk. It was a pretty decent sketch.
