S02E01 Lily Tomlin/James Taylor (September 18, 1976)

Saturday Night is back!! Lily Tomlin returns as host to kick off the second season with James Taylor as the musical guest. The show comes out swinging with the classic Debate '76 sketch, an appearance by Emily Litella, and an amazing sketch featuring Lily & Garrett Morris you probably don't remember (which is a sin as it is one of the season's best). We also get one of the best episode endings of all time with Lily (and band, and the cast, and the studio audience) teaching us The Antler Dance.
And, if all that wasn't enough....somehow The Muppets show up?!
To do it all justice, Brad & Gary are joined by Dennis Perrin (author, "Mr. Mike: The Life and Work of Michael O'Donoghue") who recounts what it was like watching the show live back in '76 & shares stories of Michael O'Donoghue, Chevy Chase, and Taylor Mead (!!).
Its a great way to kick off the new season!
