4. VERY funny! I remember seeing this with my MOM when it aired.

I wonder if the B-52s were the musical guest that night.

6. It was likely before their time

Maybe Frank Zappa was the guest ~ he was on several times in the first couple years.

7. 26 January 1980... Terri Garr was the host

ah...it was a paul mccartney skit about his pot drug bust in Japan. I KNEW I remembered my mom wanting to talk about drugs. then the b-52s came on and we got up and danced around.

Did you know the B-52's were John Lennon's favorite live band?

5. My partner and I bought union t-shirts just for this.

I will simply do without if it isn't either union(preferably) or American made.

Solidarity from a "right-to-work like slaves" state.
