One last VINTAGE episode before we leave "The Early Years of SNL" and move into the Jean Doumanian season.

Late in Season 1, Madeline Kahn hosted for the very first time. Delayed by a technician's strike, the show seemed to utilize the extra time as this is considered (by us at least) the best episode of Saturday Night Live's first season—even if Carly Simon had to pre-tape her musical performance.

This episode includes some of our favorite sketches of the season including an iconic Baba Wawa, an amazing Bride of Frankenstein musical number, the infamous "Final Days" sketch, and the Marilyn Suzanne Miller-written "Slumber Party."

This episode of SNL originally aired 50 years ago this week, and the podcast episode was originally released on August 1st, 2023.
