There are 10 musical performances in this episode, the most ever for the show. The Not Ready For Prime Time Players appear only once in the very brief Bee sketch except for Chevy Chase who also appears in the opening and Weekend Update.
On this edition of "Weekend Update", Chevy Chase opens with the words, "Good evening, I'm Chevy Chase, here to keep you up on what's going down." He will use his now-famous catchphrase, "Good evening, I'm Chevy Chase and you're not," for the first time in Candice Bergen/Esther Phillips (1975).
This would be the first time Chevy Chase would do his signature pratfall that would open the show for the entire time he was a cast member.
This was the first episode of SNL to be repeated by NBC. It's "second" air date was December 7, 1975
