Welcome to SN Hell!
Matt and Keith go through their Top 15 sketches from Season 2. We've gone rogue from the lore and made our own lists of what we saw as the best sketches of SNL's second season. Some we all love, some we know are dark horses, some are indefinable and some just stuck with us for one reason or another. Are they the greatest? Maybe. Are they our favorites? Absolutely.
Hope you enjoy :)

Welcome to SN Hell!
And welcome to 1977, Adrienne joins us for Ralph Nader & George Benson, fun host and musical guest, but the real story is "the new guys." First, we have a young up and comer by the name of Bill Murray joining the cast and the great Jim Downey sliding in for the first of his many episodes in the writer's room. One cast member is out with an injury and the show's response is similar, yet different, from how they handled Chevy's. And a family of three aliens - allegedly from France - make their debut. Fun stuff.
Sketches include: Long Distance, Baba Wawa Talks To Herself, Party Dolls, The Conheads at Home & Youth Asks The Questions. Andy Kaufman spends a few minutes "goofin' on Elvis." George Benson gives us some sweet jazz guitar in Masquerade and sings "Gonna Love You More." All this, Weekend Update and More are Here.... in SN Hell!
