The Early Years of SNL: S04E07 Walter Matthau (12/2/78)
We’re back to The Early Years of SNL as we return to S4 with acclaimed actor Walter Matthau taking his best swing at hosting. While lacking an official musical guest, the show delivers an unexpected treat with cast member Garrett Morris performing opera at Matthau's special request. Though the episode falls somewhere in the middle range quality-wise, it does showcase several fan-favorite recurring sketches as we revisit the Olympia Café, listen to Woman to Woman, and witness the final appearance of The Bees - marking the end of an era for one of Saturday Night Live's first and most iconic recurring bits.
