SNL Season 5, Episode 9: Teri Garr

A

The 9th Episode of Season 5 of Saturday Night Live aired on January 26, 1980. The host was Teri Garr, and the musical guest was The B-52’s.
Actress Teri Garr was the host, bringing her bubbly, slightly scattered energy. New wave icons The B-52’s performed their unforgettable “Rock Lobster” and “Dance This Mess Around.” A genuinely noteworthy element was the appearance of presidential candidate John B. Anderson in a sketch, a reminder of the show’s political edge. This was also the first episode for new cast members Peter Aykroyd, Jim Downey, and Brian Doyle-Murray.
