      During the fake commercial for Galactic Prophylactic, one of the musclemen seen earlier in the sketch crosses in front of the camera blocking Eddie Murphy.
    • Quotes

      Chevy Chase: I was so... moved... and honored... uh... when they asked me to host this season's, uh... very first show. I don't know what to say, I'm almost in tears! But I was, uh, somewhat surprised to find, uh, that the show is still, uh... well... still done live from New York City. I'm happy. It's my town, and it's my people. And we're still giving great comedy from the Big Apple, great comedy right from the Big Apple out to the little fruits there in Hollywood. Huh!

    • Alternate versions
