Saturday Night Live · season 1, episode 23 · Saturday, July 24, 1976 Host: Louise Lasser. Musical guest: Preservation Hall Jazz Band. • Preservation Hall Jazz Band performs "Panama". • In her monologue, Louise Lasser, who had been arrested on a drug charge the week before and was very difficult for the cast and writers to work with that week, pretends to have a bout of stage fright and lock herself in her dressing room. She had actually done the same thing in real life just before the beginning of the show; the cast was dividing her parts among themselves. Her self-indulgent behavior led Lorne Michaels to keep this episode out of syndication. • Michael Sarrazin (who would later host in season 3) makes a filmed cameo appearance. • Jane Curtin, Laraine Newman and Gilda Radner perform "Cathode Ray Tube" as a '60's styled girl group. • Lorne Michaels appears in the "Diner Sketch".
