Saturday Night Live (1975)

S1E24 Kris Kristofferson with Rita Coolidge

Jul 31, 1976 Season 1 Episode 24 Comedy, News

Live from New York, it's...Chevy Chase! The sketches feature Kristofferson performing "Help Me Make it Through The Night," the introduction of new SNL cast member Sherry, a comedic take on a Samurai General Practitioner, and the Great White Athlete. Gerald Ford sidesteps local topics, while "Talk Country" offers its own unique spin. In a humorous twist, "My Blind Date is My Gynecologist" takes center stage, alongside Andrew Young's over-the-top flattery. The evening also includes a satirical look at a Police State and the hilarious "Waiting For Don Pardo."
