But couldn't find one that's directly from the SNL YouTube page. He was the one who suggested that John Belushi do his Joe Cocker impersonation after seeing it in the musical "National Lampoon's Lemmings" a couple years prior. That was probably the first SNL episode that was mostly sketches involving the not ready for primetime players. Before that it was either a variety show and later a Simon & Garfunkel reunion special. All I have to say is that NBC better fuckin' rerun this episode.

HBO max added it to the listings a few days ago. They have the new sequel as well, also directed by Rob Reiner.

Ahh! He'll always be Meathead to me. (That's how he was introduced to me!)
