Season Six of Saturday Night Live continues with Robert Hays, star of the Homeward Bound and Airplane! films, as host.

Does this episode keep the momentum of Karen Black going or does it struggle to maintain it?

There are quite a few controversial sketches in this episode, but we also get the announcement of one of SNL's all-time great cast members being promoted to repertory player. And don't forget about Joe "King" Carrasco, The Crowns, or 14 Karat Soul!
