Episode Notes
 
Chris Rock becomes the eighth SNL alumni to host
 
The syndicated rerun bleeps out use of the "N" word during the fake commercial "Def Emergency Room Jam" (although when it first aired on E!, the "N" word wasn't bleeped).
 
Dana Carvey appears in this episode as George Bush, Sr. in a sketch with Norm MacDonald as Bob Dole and Darrell Hammond as Bill Clinton.
 
 
Episode References
 
In the second "Bob Dole" sketch, Lorne Michaels tells Norm MacDonald to give up the Dole impression because Dole lost the 1996 electon. Norm says, "At least I still have 'Weekend Update'," and Lorne says, "Oh, that's another thing I want to talk to you about..." This is ironic considering that Norm would be fired from "Weekend Update" a year later.
