Episode Notes

The NBC rerun of this episode has a dress rehearsal version of the "Great Moments in Guidance Counseling" sketch where the technical gaffes that plagued the live show version of the sketch aren't shown and includes a part where Kenan Thompson plays a guidance counselor who tells Kanye West (appearing as himself) to go to college for a year, drop out, and write songs about it.
