Rialto Grande is a recurring sketch on
Saturday Night Live featuring the character of Buddy Mills, played by
Chris Kattan. Mills was an elderly comedian reminiscent of the vaudeville days. His sidekick drummer, Mackey, was played by
Fred Armisen. Also an old-timer, Mackey would constantly be late on his
rimshot cues, or insert rimshots at inopportune moments, especially during emotionally charged scenes.
Buddy would be introduced by Ronny "The Zipper" Calzoon, played by Jimmy Fallon, and the sketch featured Rachel Dratch, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, and Maya Rudolph as unattractive cocktail waitresses.
