The 10th Episode of Season 5 of Saturday Night Live aired on February 9, 1980. The host was Chevy Chase, and the musical guest was Marianne Faithfull, Tom Scott.
Original cast member Chevy Chase returned to host. The musical guests were Marianne Faithfull and Tom Scott, with Faithfull performing “Broken English” and “Guilt.” This episode felt like a blast from the past, though it wasn’t the last we’d see of the original gang before the end. Famously, just prior to the opening monologue, Chase and Bill Murray engaged ina fight backstage.
