• Norma Jenkins (Yvonne Hudson) says she had appeared on the same Cincinnati station that launched The Mike Douglas Show. Actually, The Mike Douglas Show began on Cleveland's Channel 3. [edit]

• This is the final program produced by Lorne Michaels until his return in the 11th season. He later said that leaving SNL after the 5th season would be the biggest mistake of his life. [edit]
• While the fall of the old SNL marked the end of one era, another golden era was just beginning for the New York Metro Area. Just hours earlier, the New York Islanders won their first Stanley Cup, and they would win it again each of the next three years. [edit]
• This will be Buck Henry's last time as an SNL host. In five years, he had hosted ten times, a concentration unlike any in the show's history. And his ten appearances would remain the SNL record until Steve Martin did his eleventh show May 20, 1989. [edit]

• Butler: (shouting) Lord and Lady Douchebag! [edit]
• At the end of the show, Buck Henry stands in the front of an unusually large group and bids the audience, "Goodnight–and good-bye." They leave the studio, and as the last few walk through the doors of Studio 8H, the camera zooms in to catch the "ON AIR" sign going off. [edit]

• Carl Quackenbush: I certainly hope not!
  Everything about Carl Quackenbush, from his line to his walk to the cigar in his mouth, was tapped directly from Groucho Marx. [edit]
