Saturday Night Live · season 3, episode 50 · Saturday, October 29, 1977 Host: Charles Grodin. Musical guest: Paul Simon. • Paul Simon performs "Slip Slidin' Away" and "You're Kind" (a song from Still Crazy After All These Years), accompanied on both songs by harmonica player Toots Thielemans and a backing band. The first song was performed with The Persuasions. • A running gag throughout the episode involves Grodin breaking character and ruining sketches, as if he missed the dress rehearsal. While many speculated this was genuine and Grodin was banned from hosting, Grodin later confirmed that it was all part of the act. Regardless, Grodin would never host again. • One sketch features Simon and Grodin attempting to sing "The Sound of Silence", with Grodin wearing an Art Garfunkel wig. After several aborted starts (with Grodin singing off-key and forgetting the lyrics), Simon walks off the stage. Grodin then proceeds to sing a verse of "Bridge Over Troubled Water", after which the real Art Garfunkel walks on stage and asks Grodin to take off the wig. • Roseanne Roseannadanna made her debut in this episode's "Hire the Incompetent" sketch. • New title sequence debuts showing the logo in a new typeface and the cast individually standing in front of the Times Square Jumbotron. • First appearance of Judy Miller. • Grodin makes an appearance in the audience right after the football sketch with the caption "THIS WEEK'S HOST!"
