It is first noticable during the "Bizarro World" sketch and during Saint James' introduction of The Kinks performing "Destroyer." Also, the camera is focused on Joe Piscopo when a man attempts to climb aboard the boat in the "Here in a Lifeboat" sketch.

  Sally: I wasn't looking at McMarilyn's breasts.

ADD NOTES
- "(Single Bars and) Single Women," the song Christine Ebersole sings in this episode, was written by Michael O'Donoghue. Oddly enough, this song became a hit for Dolly Parton in 1982.
  EDIT SHARE
- The "Assassination Aftermath" film was a tribute to Anwar al-Sadat, the Egyptian leader and Nobel Peace Prize winner that was slain on October 6, 1981.
  EDIT SHARE
- Rickie Lee Jones was originally announced as musical guest. She dropped out for unknown reasons.
  EDIT SHARE
- When Ha!, MTV's failed attempt at a comedy network, was launched April 1, 1990, this was the first SNL the fledgling network used. And they aired it uncut. Sadly for purists, Ha! would fail in less than six months, merging with HBO's struggling The Comedy Channel to become Comedy Central.
  EDIT SHARE
- Susan St James will later become producer Dick Ebersol's wife.
