S01E01 George Carlin/Billy Preston, Janis Ian (October 11, 1975)

Here we go!  We start things off the same way NBC’s Saturday Night did w/ Host: George Carlin & Musical Guests: Billy Preston and Janis Ian.  Special Guests include Andy Kaufman, Valeri Bromfield, Jim Henson’s Muppets, and a film by Albert Brooks.  If that sounds like a lot…it is!  FOUR host monologues, TWO additional stand-up performances, FOUR musical numbers, FIVE live sketches, ONE Weekend Update, TWO short films, FIVE taped commercial parodies, The Muppets, AND a live promo for next week’s show.  And, if that wasn’t enough to talk about, we even manage to get into the stuff that DIDN’T make it into the show (including a sketch with the host ACTUALLY IN it and Mr. Saturday Night himself, Billy Crystal).  There is so much to get into, not least of all…is this episode any good? --------------------------------- Subscribe & Follow today!
