In 1980, Jean Doumanian took over "Saturday Night Live" with a grand vision for the show.

It didn't go quite as planned.

With a bit of creative liberty, "Unmade Dream Projects" tells the story of this bizarre misfire of a season with voice actors, sound effects and word for word excerpts from the show.
