Ep 11. Chevy Chase/Billy Joel

Chevy Chase returns as host for the last episode of 1977, making him the first returning host in SNL history. The episode opens with a sketch in which Chase serves as the emcee for a politically incorrect beauty pageant, featuring contestants with less-than-ideal physical appearances. In the monologue, Chase reminisces about his time as an SNL cast member and performs a rendition of the song "Old Time Rock and Roll" by Bob Seger.

Other notable sketches include "Weekend Update" with anchor Jane Curtin and guest commentator Roseanne Roseannadanna (played by Gilda Radner), who discusses consumer complaints and gives a questionable recipe for fruitcake. Additionally, the "Coneheads" make their first appearance on the show in a sketch where they are potential tenants for an apartment complex, and the "Land Shark" makes a visit to a woman's apartment.

Musical guest Billy Joel performs "Only the Good Die Young" and "Just the Way You Are." Joel also appears in a sketch where he portrays a goofy lounge singer who is continuously interrupted mid-performance by an unimpressed Chase.

Overall, the episode showcases the ensemble cast's comedic talents as they parody various aspects of pop culture and politics, and features memorable performances by both the host and musical guest.
