This week on
Saturday Night Jive we're watching another classic SNL episode from the notorious Season 6. Lorne Michaels leaves the show and takes the cast and writers with him. When the show comes back they've hired an all-star cast that includes Joe Piscopo, Gilbert Gottfried, Denny Dillon, Ann Risley, and of course, Charlie "Mutha-fuckin" Rocket. This is the episode where it all came screeching to a halt. Dallas star

Prince. Things are going as good as Season 6 goes, meaning the show is pretty terrible, and then all of a sudden during the Goodnights, Charles Rocket says one of the 7 words you can never say on television. The cast reaction to the four letter word is one of my personal favorite SNL moments of all time. Unfortunately the episode leading up to that glorious "fuck" is truly horrendous (minus the debut of Mister Robinson's Neighborhood). Shortly after this incident the producer and entire cast were fired (with the exception of Joe Piscopo and Eddie Murphy) and they went back to the drawing board to re-tool the show a second time. Sketches include Mister Robinson's Neighborhood, Pork Parade, Women Behind Bars, Submissive Sugar Daddies, Stevie Wonder in Fiddler On The Roof, a Rocket Report from the subway, and puppet boxing from Marc Weiner. We're still trying to solve the mystery of Charles Rocket's murder and we're also on the lookout for the whereabouts of Yvonne Hudson. Enjoy!
