The summer of 1978 was a busy one for the folks at SNL, but not so busy that they didn't have time to make a television special to air in October of 1978. Keith and Matt take one more stop before heading into Season 4 and take a look at this widely forgotten piece of Saturday Night Live history. Keith kicks off this edition with a look at some of the moving, shaking, business decisions and personal stuff from the Summer between Seasons 3 and 4. All of that is here.... in SN-Hell.

In this mini-episode of SN Hell, Keith and Matt chat about their highest rated SNL episodes from Season 3.

In this mini-episode, Keith and Matt choose their favorite hosts from Season 3 of SNL.  Hope you all enjoy. 

Keith is flying solo for this one - 90 minutes of Doo-wop is way too much to ask of Matt - as he takes a look at 1978's American Hot Wax featuring SNL's Laraine Newman in a supporting role. 

The film is a semi-fictional look at a segment of the life of pioneer rock DJ Alan Freed as he promotes an upcoming rock concert in New York City.  The kids are excited while the fogeys are less enamored by this immoral rock n' roll fad. What better place to talk about a movie that glorifies the devil's music than here... in SN Hell.
