周六夜现场第三季

The third season of Saturday Night Live, an American sketch comedy series, originally aired in the United States on NBC between September 24, 1977, and May 20, 1978.The season is also notable for the contest, Anyone Can Host. During the start of the season the show advertised the contest for a non-celebrity to host the show.[citation needed] The winner was 80 year-old grandmother Miskel Spillman, the only non-celebrity to host an SNL episode. During Spillman's show the musical guest, Elvis Costello, halted his band, the Attractions, seven seconds into the song"Less Than Zero", launching into"Radio Radio", an as-yet unreleased song critical of mainstream broadcasting. The change angered Lorne Michaels, who banned future appearances on the show for a while.Chevy Chase hosted during the season, making him the first cast member to host after leaving the show. Right before the end-of-the-show onstage goodbyes, a loud altercation broke out backstage between Chase and relatively new cast member Bill Murray. After several insults were exchanged (including Chase referencing Murray's acne scarred skin and Murray calling Chase a"medium talent"), the two actors began to physically attack each other. And although by most accounts the fight had been at least partially instigated by John Belushi, he was the one (along with Dan Aykroyd) that broke up the Murray and Chase only moments before the entire cast regrouped on stage in front of the live television cameras. Chase would host the show several times throughout the show's history, though he was unpopular with the cast and crew.The DVD for the entire season was released on May 13, 2008.
