The Early Years of SNL: S04E11 Cicely Tyson/Talking Heads (2/10/79)
Talking Heads make their US television debut on this week’s episode of SNL! Also...Cicely Tyson hosts. The show brings out a lot of recurring characters, sketches, and bits to try and help her. And, of course, Garrett in drag. Does any of it work?
There are a lot of questionable things in this episode and the final product is not only one of the weaker episodes of Saturday Night Live’s original era but also one of the most jaw-dropping…even for 1979. Of course, as the era winds down, we start to say goodbye to some recurring bits. This episode has the last appearance of Emily Litella and final installment of “Ex-Police.”
So…maybe its not all bad?
