Not Ready for Season 6: SNL S06E12: Bill Murray/Delbert McClinton (3/7/81)
Bill Murray returns to Saturday Night Live to host what ended up being the final episode of the very brief Jean Doumanian era. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough to save Season 6—even if he did bring back Delbert McClinton as musical guest. Hours after this episode ended, Doumanian was fired as Executive Producer of the show. Replaced by Dick Ebersol, many of the cast and writers would also experience their last week at Studio 8H. But the episode itself? The returning veteran from SNL's original...

Deep Thoughts: The Making of Caddyshack
The summer of 1980 delivered some of the most memorable comedies in American film history. One of the most iconic is Caddyshack.
