ok, so I'm having a little trouble remembering exactly where I heard this quote from Christopher Walken and I figure more than likely someone here can answer it easily.

(paraphrased)
Walken: I saw Tomato, you say Tomato, Tomato Tomato, Tomato Tomato.
Other guy: I think it's "You say 'Tomauto'"
Walken: Tomauto? Who the hell says Tomauto?

I can't remember which movie this is from. Anyone?

Pennies From Heaven, maybe? Just a guess. Sounds familiar but I can't place it.

PulpMind

I think it's from a newer movie, one where Christopher Walken plays a bad guy.. maybe...

Kadath

While hosting SNL?

Yeah, it was.

Yeah I'm also pretty sure it was from SNL. The sketch with the census guy is one of the best I think.

I LOVE the sketch where he's taking the census. I laugh so much everytime I see it. I had it on my computer for a whlie too- along with every SNL Celebrity Jeopardy I could find.

I love the Bruce Dickenson charactor he plays in the Blue Oyster Cult sketch on SNL. The one with Will Farrell playing the cow bell.

"I have a sickness, and the only cure is more cow bell"

and "the cock of the walk"

not outright funny lines, but in context they are hilarious.

No, I think it was from his monologe when he hosted in 2001.

It most definately from SNL, he did it with Jimmy Fallon. I'm not sure what the date was, but I am positive it was SNL.

That would explain why I couldn't find the quote on imdb.com. Now that you mention it, I'm sure it was Jimmy fallon too. Thanks guys.
