Jerry Lewis mentions that Loverboy's second song ("Hot Girls In Love") had to be cut and thanks the "lovely" audience and "beautiful group of people" he worked with; the feed cuts off before the credits.

FINAL THOUGHTS:

Not a bad show, not a great show either; it feels like it was expected to be a better show than what ended up being broadcast, but there aren't any grave missteps. I have to admit that Jerry Lewis's stuff isn't really my thing, and I didn't feel like he meshed with the SNL format seamlessly enough, but he seemed to be having a good enough time. Eddie Murphy's return to Studio 8H after a two-show absence helps with the energy level, and Jim Belushi continues to have a strong presence.
