As for the music, the show has consistently picked the finest names in rock, pop and soul to appear live on the show, from established big names to the best up and coming talent.

Its first incarnation introduced the American public to Aykroyd, Belushi, Chase, and Radner, as well as its regular skits and parodies and its rotating guest host system that have remained constants for more than 30 years.

The list includes diverse names such as Abba, Billy Preston, Randy Newman, Gil Scott-Heron, Martha Reeves, The Stylistics, Neil Sedaka, Jimmy Cliff, The Loving Spoonful's John Sebastian, Carly Simon and Rita Coolidge.
