Trivia
Christopher Lee's comic introduction of Meat Loaf was ad-libbed live on air, including his seemingly being corrected by an off-camera crew member. In reality, there is no crew member and Lee later said that he could see the technicians in the main booth "looking like they wanted to kill me." According to Lee, Meat Loaf was also not amused by the joke.

Goofs
John Belushi misspoke saying "Live (short i) from New York" originally. He then corrects himself after and says "Live" (with the long i sound).

Quotes
Dan Aykroyd: Jane, you ignorant slut!

Crazy credits
The cold opening sketch is John Belushi finding out that NBC has changed his name to "Kevin Scott". In keeping with the joke, Belushi is credited as "Kevin Scott" in the opening credits. He is even announced after Gilda Radner to keep the cast's names in alphabetical order.
