This week we re-release one of our biggest VINTAGE episodes of The Early Years of SNL. Steve Martin hosting alongside musical guests The Blues Brothers is considered by many to be one of the best episodes in Saturday Night Live history—a theory we cannot argue with.

The episode is packed with all-time classic bits: The Festrunk Brothers, Theodoric of York, Dancing in the Dark, and the legendary King Tut performance. Plus, for the only time EVER in the show's history, two cast members served as the musical guests.

This show is so epic we couldn't contain it in just one episode. In this first of two parts, we're joined by "Mr. Entertainment" himself, Paul Shaffer, to discuss the episode and his involvement with The Blues Brothers Band.

Please enjoy Part 1 of this legendary outing from The Not Ready for Prime Time Players.

This episode was originally released on September 17, 2024.
