  Kate Jackson hosts, with Delbert McClinton as musical guest. Andy Kaufman sings a yodeling song to an African drum rhythm, as well as playing a couple of drums as well. hide « show »

  With the opening skit of Charlie's Angels being asked to help Fred Silverman(John Belushi), head of ABC's covert operations as well as NBC President, Kate Jackson hosted this episode.
  
  Kate plays a nurse Todd(Bill Murray) has a crush on, crushing Lisa Lubner. Mrs. Lubner(Jane Curtain) tries to help the situation.
  
  "Bad Cabaret For Children" is as bizarre as it sounds! It's almost a parody of Cabaret, but with pre-teens and younger as it's period-dressed audience. It ended with the promise of "next week"'s version of a B.C. version of Dumbo!
  
  Bill and Kate were parents to a disturbed daughter(Gilda Radner), who was taken to see a therapist. The therapist turned out to be a kid as well(Lorraine Newman)!
  
  Delbert McClinton sang "Somethin' Just For You" and "Tryin' To Get A Message Through."
  
  Andy Kaufman, decked out in a Hawaiian shirt and white pants, comes out to a row of five drummers who have a good solid beat going. Andy steps up to the mic and starts singing about how he loves yodeling! He then, of course yodels, but the effect is cooler than it sounds written-down. It was fun, and one of the drummers looked like he was close to cracking up. What was really fun was when they took a turn singing the verse!
  
  Father Guido Sarducci was a special guest during Weekend Update; he was there to talk about the weather.
  
  The Coneheads took a trip to their movie theatre. John and Kate are movie-goers who are there to see a triple bill of SF movies, including The Day The Earth Stood Still. Beldar smokes a bit of weed(!) and becomes obnoxious and hungry as a result.
  
  Overall, not the strongest episode, but an entertaining one.

• One of the Weekend Update clocks behind Bill Murray is misspelled "Philadelpia." On the next program, Bill would not apologize, claiming the viewers in Philly "like the new spelling better." edit »

• During the goodnights, Kate Jackson thanks her husband Andrew Stevens. Jackson married Stevens six months before this episode aired and divorced not even a year later. edit »
• Last appearance of The Coneheads. edit »
• John Belushi's portrayal of Fred Silverman, assigning Charlie's Angels to sabotage NBC, was a three-part sketch that ran throughout the show. The final third was deleted from the 60-minute repeats. edit »

• Charlie: Kate? We have a special assignment for you. Are you familiar with NBC’s Saturday Night Live?
  Kate: Uh, I used to watch it, but it went downhill after Chevy Chase left. edit »
• "Perhaps there's a place in commercial television for quality. For intelligently conceived, well-acted, inventive programs, programs that aren't written for the lowest common denominator. And NBC could lead the way! NBC could be the network that puts these programs on the air! (brief pause) Naaahh."
