The Not Ready for Prime Time Project: An SNL Retrospective

S03E11 Chevy Chase/Billy Joel (February 18, 1978)


Listen Later

The Prodigal Son returns as Chevy Chase is back at Saturday Night Live...as HOST! An event So BIG...that Billy Joel skipped his high school reunion to be the musical guest.  Not surprisingly, this is one of the most infamous episodes in the show's history.
Sadly, pretty much all of the legend has to do with what went on behind the scenes and not in front of the camera.  That Week in SNL's Andy Dick joins us to separate fact from fiction, dive into the actual episode, and share theories on what makes the show work. Opinions run the gamut on this "old school" episode of SNL as we try to decide whether it works or not.
