    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Seventeen-year-old Anthony Michael Hall was the youngest cast member.
    • Goofs
      ...almost everything. Live television is largely exempt from the usual rules of goofs.
    • Quotes
      • George W. Bush: I'm gonna be around for a long time. On the job, making the tough decisions 24/7. That's 24 hours a week, 7 months a year.
    • Alternate versions
      To avoid paying royalties, some syndicated versions remove the musical performances and the mention of the musical guests in the opening credits is also removed.
    • Connections
      Edited into The Best of John Belushi (1985)
