'81-'82 SEASON

*Note: This is the only season not to feature the famous "Live from New York, it's Saturday Night" opening. There was just a fake commercial as an opening, no monologue (usually), and the cast ran to the main stage for a quick mug for the camera and then to their positions for the first sketch. This page just features the special guests & cameos.
