MISTAKES/GOOFS

TRIVIA

• Billy Joel wanted to reschedule his appearance because it was the same night of his high-school reunion. When the show was unable to reschedule him, he had to miss the reunion to perform.
• This was Chevy Chase's first time back to the show since he left, and did his trademark pratfall in the cold opening of the show
• By the time the third season had rolled around, the opening credits had changed from the first season. When Chevy Chase came back to host, they went to the same opening credits the way they did them in the first season.
• There had been tension between Chase and the rest of the cast since the first season. John Belushi had a rivalry with Chase dating back to their times at "The National Lampoon Radio Hour". Reportedly, Belushi told Bill Murray that Chase had treated the cast badly during his time on the show. Chase and Murray got into a shouting match which turned into a fistfight. The fight was broken up moments before the show went on the air. Murray said in the book "Live From New York" that he felt he "was goaded into that...because I was the new guy, and it was sort of like it was my job to do that."
• Chevy Chase is the first former cast member to host the show.
