Ep 10. Chevy Chase/Marianne Faithfull

In the 10th episode of the 5th season of Saturday Night Live, Chevy Chase and Marianne Faithfull are the hosts for the night. The show opens with a sketch where President Carter, played by Dan Aykroyd, is giving a speech on the state of the economy. However, he is continually interrupted by a group of Hecklers led by Chevy Chase. The sketch ends with a fiery explosion, marking the end of Carter's speech.

The first musical act of the night is Marianne Faithfull, who performs two songs, including her popular hit "Broken English." Next up are a few classic SNL sketches, including the Bass-O-Matic commercial, where Dan Aykroyd plays a salesman demonstrating a blender that can blend whole fish, bones and all, and the Coneheads sketch, where Laraine Newman and Dan Aykroyd play alien refugees trying to blend in with American society.

Chevy Chase's monologue is a highlight of the episode, as he reminisces about his time on the show and even takes a few jabs at fellow cast members. He also performs a comedy skit where he plays a game show host, asking contestants to guess what is in a box, with ridiculous prizes such as "a dead cat."

Next up is a sketch called "The Charwoman," where Gilda Radner once again plays the character, a cleaning lady who gets involved in various hijinks. This time, she is working at the United Nations, and chaos ensues as she tries to clean up after the delegates. The sketch features a surprise appearance by John Belushi, filling in for an absent cast member.

Marianne Faithfull returns to the stage to perform another song, and later in the show, there is a sketch called "The Lighthouse Keeper," where Dan Aykroyd plays the title character, who has been alone on a deserted island for years. When two women (played by Gilda Radner and Jane Curtin) wash up on shore, he initially resists their company, but eventually succumbs to their advances. The sketch is a humorous take on the classic story of the three castaways from "Gilligan's Island."

The show also features a few political sketches, including a parody of the Iran Hostage Crisis, with Aykroyd playing Ayatollah Khomeini and Chevy Chase reprising his role as President Ford. There is also a sketch where Chevy Chase plays a news anchor reporting on the possible assassination of President-Elect Reagan, causing mass hysteria among the citizens.

Other highlights of the episode include a parody of the popular TV show "What's Happening!!," featuring the SNL cast, and a short film called "Samurai Stockbroker," where John Belushi plays a Wall Street trader who happens to be a samurai warrior.

As the show comes to a close, Marianne Faithfull returns to perform one final song, and the cast says farewell to the audience. Overall, the episode features a mix of classic SNL sketches and new material, with Chevy Chase and Marianne Faithfull both delivering strong performances as hosts.
