Shop TV: Halloween Cookies
The setup
The premise
Here’s the bit.
On a Spooktober edition of the Shop TV home shopping channel, prim hosts Rhett (Mikey Day) and Lindy (Heidi Gardner) welcome Toby "The Cookie Guy" Wallach (Michael Keaton), who is selling jumbo zombie eyeball cookies in a souvenir box. Unwrapped, the soft, pink-centered cookies look unmistakably like breasts, and Toby's enthusiastic squeezing, flavor rundown and two-for-one offer leave the hosts scrambling to keep things family friendly. They cut off crude phone-in callers, keep ordering the camera away from close-ups, and finally beg for the picture to be blurred when Toby demonstrates his special cookie glaze.
The funny people
Meet the cast. 4
Say it with us
Highly quotable.
You know, I always say, squishy is delishy.
This part here is actually red velvet.
Do those cookies come in different ethnicities?
Don't put TVMA on the screen, Odell!

Notes from the archive.
The Minion-costumed camera operator Roy was played by Paul Cangialosi, one of Saturday Night Live's actual camera operators. The two off-screen phone-in callers were voiced by Michael Longfellow and Kenan Thompson, according to SNL Archives. The sketch followed the December 2023 installment Shop TV Christmas with host Adam Driver.

Lindy
Oh, that is so pink in the middle there.
- 01:45
Rhett
That is so pink.
- 01:46
Toby "The Cookie Guy" Wallach
Well, it's a zombie eye. It's a zombie eye, so it's bloodshot.
- 01:50
Rhett
Yeah. I might've gone with a blue eye myself, but tell us about the flavors a little tit bit. Tell us about the flavors a little bit.
- 02:01
Toby "The Cookie Guy" Wallach
Well, classic vanilla sponge cake, and look how soft and squishy.
- 02:05
Lindy
Oh, no. No, no, no, get off of that.
- 02:09
Rhett
Yeah, let's get off that close-up. Get off that. Widen out, Odell.
- 02:12
Toby "The Cookie Guy" Wallach
You know, I always say squishy is delishy.
- 02:15
Lindy
Oh! That's fun.
- 02:17
Toby "The Cookie Guy" Wallach
Yep.
- 02:18
Rhett
I think everybody at home knows how soft it is. You can start feeling it like that.
- 02:22
Toby "The Cookie Guy" Wallach
And you know, I want to also say I used all organic ingredients. I mean, they look so good, people think they're fake, but they're not. They're all natural.
- 02:29
Rhett
No, I'm a big naturals guy.
- 02:31
Lindy
Oh, well, don't say it like that.
- 02:33
Rhett
Well, you know what, let's go to the phones, how about that? Caller, are you excited to order one of these zombie eyes?
- 02:40
Speaker 2
Zombie eyes? I thought that cookie was supposed to be like a delicious white woman's tit.
- 02:45
Rhett
Hang up on him!
- 02:47
Lindy
Shame on you, sir! Shame on you! Icky! Icky!
- 02:53
Toby "The Cookie Guy" Wallach
Look, I just want to add that it's not just vanilla sponge. This part here is actually red velvet.
- 02:59
Lindy
Oh! I don't like that,
- 03:03
Toby "The Cookie Guy" Wallach
I'm just maybe happy to be here. The people can't look, feel that.
- 03:07
Lindy
I know, you're just being so delicate with him.
- 03:10
Toby "The Cookie Guy" Wallach
Well, I'll be a little rougher, I'll be a little rougher.
