I am – Hercules!!
Sigourney Weaver hosted SNL only once before, on Oct. 11, 1986. It was the first episode of the 12th season, and the first episode since the release of James Cameron’s “Aliens.”
It was the first episode since the permanent departures of cast members Robert Downey Jr., Anthony Michael Hall, Joan Cusack, Randy Quaid, Damon Wayans and Terry Sweeney, and the first episode ever for Phil Hartman, Kevin Nealon, Dana Carvey, Victoria Jackson and Jan Hooks.
It was the first episode since NBC came very close to cancelling the show.
Sketches included the very first “Church Chat” (with Weaver as Zuul), “Tommy Flanagan’s Girlfriends,” and “Alienses,” (starring Hartman as Hicks, Carvey as Hudson, Dennis Miller as Bishop and Jon Lovitz as Burke).
“Green Lantern: First Flight”: 8 p.m. Saturday. CN.
“Saturday Night Live”: 11:30 p.m. Saturday. NBC.
