Saturday Night Live · season 4, episode 83 · Saturday, April 14, 1979 Host: Milton Berle. Musical guest: Ornette Coleman. • Ornette Coleman performed "Times Square". • Milton Berle's opening monologue featured bits from his nightclub stand-up routine, some of which were met with scant laughter. After about five minutes, Bill Murray dropped a large pipe offstage, making a loud noise and disrupting Berle's routine. When Berle was told by a producer at the foot of the stage that his monologue segment was complete, Berle responded incredulously. During the audience's applause while transitioning to a commercial, he can be seen angrily yelling, although it is unclear whether he is serious. • While on-air, Berle frequently mugged for the audience, did spit-takes, and ad-libbed straight to the camera. • At the end of the show, Berle broke into a "dreary version" of the 1950s standard "September Song" and, according to Lorne Michaels, loaded the audience with friends and family members who gave it a standing ovation. Michaels told director Dave Wilson immediately afterwards that this show was the worst ever; he kept it from appearing in syndicated reruns later. Wiki link
