Ep 13. Kate Jackson/Delbert McClinton

Kate Jackson was the host of the Season 4 Episode 13 of Saturday Night Live, which aired on February 24, 1979. The musical guest was blues singer and songwriter Delbert McClinton.

The episode opened with a skit titled "Bureau of Weights and Measures," in which Dan Aykroyd played a government agent investigating the accuracy of a butcher shop's scales. This was followed by a parody of the game show "The Match Game." The sketch featured the cast mocking the celebrities who appeared on the original show.

Kate Jackson made her first appearance of the night in a sketch called "Old Lovers." In this sketch, Jackson and Bill Murray played former lovers who reunite after decades. The humor came from the fact that Murray's character had aged considerably, while Jackson's had barely changed.

Next, the cast performed a sketch titled "Schiller's Reel." This was a parody of the '60s variety show "The Hollywood Palace." The sketch featured cast members impersonating famous performers of the era, such as Elvis Presley and The Supremes.

The Weekend Update segment featured Jane Curtin and Bill Murray, with Gilda Radner appearing in a brief segment as well. They covered various news stories of the week, such as the upcoming 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, New York, and the ongoing oil and energy crisis.

Kate Jackson also appeared in several other sketches throughout the night, such as a parody of the game show "Tattletales" and a skit about a group of gangsters who were obsessed with fashion.

Delbert McClinton performed three songs throughout the night, including "Givin' It Up for Your Love," "B-Movie Boxcar Blues," and "Shotgun Rider." His performances were well-received by the audience and the cast.

The episode ended with a sketch called "Mr. Mike's Least-Loved Bedtime Tales," in which Michael O'Donoghue told dark and twisted bedtime stories to children. The sketch was controversial at the time due to its macabre content.

Overall, the Kate Jackson/Delbert McClinton episode of Saturday Night Live was a mix of political humor, pop culture parodies, and musical performances. The highlight of the episode was Jackson's comedic timing and willingness to participate in various sketches throughout the night.
