45 Years Ago: The Blues Brothers Make Their ‘SNL’ Debut

The episode of Saturday Night Live aired on April 22, 1978, can stake a legitimate claim to being the best in SNL history. Hosted for the fifth time by a never-better Steve Martin, the episode re-teams Martin with Dan Aykroyd for their strongest “Wild and Crazy Guys” sketch. (The one where the swinging Czech brothers patiently explain to Garrett Morris Cliff that their hot dates are late only because they had to pick up their birth control devices at the Statue of Liberty.)

45 Years Ago: Steve Martin’s ‘King Tut’ Becomes a Surprise Hit
Ultimate Classic Rock ^ | April 22, 2023 | Dennis Perkins

“I’d like to talk seriously, just for a moment,” Steve Martin said on the April 22, 1978, episode of Saturday Night Live. His solemnity was only marginally undercut by the fact that he was draped in stereotypical ancient Egyptian garb, with a multicolored and architectural hat atop his head.

Martin’s lecture arrived midway through the show, leaving plenty of time to put together what turned out to be one of the most popular and elaborately silly pieces had ever attempted on SNL.

When I was a computer operator at Digital I used to listen to Steve Martin’s comedy album a LOT. That was around 1984-1985.
Ah the good old daze.
