Man, time flies. 2 yrs ago we put out our 1st episode talking about the very #SNL. We had no idea if anyone would listen. Last week was our 100th. HUGE thanks to everyone for listening. We couldn't keep at it w/o you. #SNL50 #SNLvintage #LFNY #podcasts #SaturdayNightLive #NotReadyforPrimeTimePlayers

#OnThisDay 1976. #SNL S2E6. When John Belushi actually hit Buck Henry in the head with his samurai sword, drawing real blood — LIVE on air. Buck wore a bandage for the rest of the night. The rest of the cast joined in, turning an on-set accident into an iconic moment.
