The skits for this episode are as follows: Ralph Nader announces that he's going to relax and have fun for this week's show, but soon begins lecturing everyone on safety hazards throughout the studio. During Ralph's opening monologue, he rails against NBC's parent corporation, RCA, only to be cut off by a technical glitch. A grandfather waiting for his grandson to call starts ranting about the boy's thoughtlessness. A convict goes through a dress rehearsal for a televised execution. Baba Wawa pitches her new show featuring her talking to herself. Ralph has a dream in which President Carter explains his plan to revive the Confederacy. During the Weekend Update, John Belushi calls in to complain that nobody's visited him in the hospital and gets upset that everyone is so happy that Bill Murray has joined the cast, Jane Curtain reports on the change in administrations and the sentencing of Claudine Longet, and Emily Litella wonders why people want to make Puerto Rico a steak. Andy Kaufman performs several Elvis songs. Beldar and Prymaat Conehead explain the family's origins to their daughter Connie before her big date. Ralph performs stress tests on inflatable sex dolls. Teens ask Ralph questions about himself and his work that belie their lack of awareness. George Benson performs "Masquerade" and "Gonna Love You More". Written by Jean-Marc Rocher See less
