The final sketch is cut off early due to the show running long. The show cuts to a commercial break in the middle of it. During the good-nights, Steve Martin said they would finish the sketch on his next appearance. By the time Martin returned, Dan Aykroyd who played a major role in the sketch, had already left the show.
The night before this show, Van Morrison abruptly walked off stage three songs into a performance at New York's Palladium Theater and canceled the rest of his fall tour.
