S03E19 Richard Dreyfuss/Jimmy Buffett, Gary Tigerman (May 13, 1978)
Sometimes you need to make concessions to get what you want. That seems to be the case with this episode of Saturday Night Live. How else does one explain Gary Tigerman as the musical guest? "You'd like Richard Dreyfuss, fresh off becoming the youngest Oscar winner ever, to host? Sure, he'd love to do the show. But, he'd like to bring his friend along." Some call it "The Paul Simon Effect."
Regardless, here we are. Dreyfuss gets to play with a couple of recurring characters, tries his hand at the last "Marilyn piece" of the original era, and introduces us to Father Guido Sarducci. And, just to hedge their bets, the show has Jimmy Buffett perform one song (seated, since he has a broken leg).
Lots to discuss.....
