We have another SNL episode, this one from the dreaded season 6. Lorne Michaels, Bill Murray, and Peter Aykroyd have all left the show so they got Gilbert Gottfried, Ann Risley and Charles Rocket. This is the second episode from that season hosted by Malcolm McDowell and featuring Captain Beefheart as the musical guest. This is a particularly notorious episode for a few reasons. We get our first sighting of Eddie Murphy (although very briefly) and it makes liberal use of the N-word. We also get the Leather Weather Report, a famously bad sketch, a commercial for milk brought to you by Alex DeLarge, sketches built on puns, and, in case I forgot to mention it, a sketch where Charles Rocket says the N-word. This was a rough one to watch, even as a die hard SNL fan this was painful.
