      • This was Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' first time as musical guests on SNL. They would go on to perform six more times on SNL. Edit
      • The Tom Schiller film "Life After Death" is repeated from Year Three, with some edits: Pardo's disclaimer is no longer included and the interview subjects now have their name and cause of death superimposed. Edit
      • This is the fourth time Buck Henry has appeared on the show since the last time he was the actual host. He has also grown a beard since then, which he shaves off by the time the season finale rolls around. Edit
