In 1977 Saturday Night Live poked fun at the situation by featuring a skit entitled the Claudine Longet Celebrity Ski Shoot. Chevy Chase and Jane Curtin played commentators as a film showed a skier crashing after the sound of gunfire. "Uh-oh," Curtin said, "he seems to have been accidentally shot by Claudine Longet."
