Handey returned to Saturday Night Live in 1985 as a writer. For several years, Handey worked on other television projects: the Canadian sketch series Bizarre in 1980, the 1980 Steve Martin television special Comedy Is Not Pretty!, and Lorne Michaels' short-lived sketch show on NBC called The New Show in 1984. According to Martin, Handey got a job writing for Saturday Night Live (SNL) after Martin introduced him to the show's creator, Lorne Michaels. He lost the job, in his words, after writing an article that offended. His first comic writing was with comedian Steve Martin. He is best known for his Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey, a large body of surre. He lost the job after writing an article that, in his words, "offended local car dealerships". Handey's earliest writing job was for a newspaper, the San Antonio Express-News. Although many assume otherwise, Handey is a real person, not a pen name or character. I believe in making the world safe for our children, but not our childrens children, because I dont think children should be having sex. He is best known for his "Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey", a large body of surrealistic one-liner jokes, as well as his "Fuzzy Memories" and "My Big Thick Novel" shorts, and for his deadpan delivery. Jack Handey (born February 25, 1949) is an American humorist.
