Episode Notes

The song performed by Will Ferrell and the cast in the final sketch is Billy Joel's "Goodnight Saigon."

This is the last episode for Michaela Watkins, Casey Wilson, and long-time cast member, Darrell Hammond.

With this episode, Artie Lange becomes the second castmember from FOX's sketch show "MADtv" to appear on "Saturday Night Live" (Jeff Richards, who was on SNL from 2001 to 2004 and who was on MADtv from 2000 to 2001, is the first). It should also be noted that, at the time of this episode's premiere, MADtv was airing its final episode and Artie Lange also made an appearance there.
