📺 John Goodman · The Tragically Hip

Saturday, March 25, 1995 All day

Saturday Night Live · season 20, episode 382 · Saturday, March 25, 1995 Host: John Goodman (6th time). Musical guest: The Tragically Hip. • Credited Featured Players: Laura Kightlinger, Jay Mohr, Molly Shannon • The Tragically Hip performs "Grace, Too" and "Nautical Disaster". • Dan Aykroyd appears in the cold open, the opening monologue (as Elwood Blues), the "Bob Swerski's Super Fans" sketch, the "Late Late Show" sketch, the "Rush Limbaugh and Howard Stern" sketch, the "Unsolved Mysteries" sketch, the "Coal Miners" sketch, and introduced both of the Tragically Hip's performances. It is believed the reason for Aykroyd's heavy involvement, despite not being officially credited as host, was because Goodman had run into scheduling conflicts with his role on Roseanne, to the point the cast and crew were unsure if he would be forced to back out as a result; further adding credence to this, his bumper pictures were the ones from his previous hosting gig the prior season, simply reskinned to match the current season's design. • Brian Dennehy, Robert Smigel, and George Wendt appear in the "Bob Swerski's Super Fans" sketch.
