When did SNL start having the hosts in their sketches?!
Question: I know Candice Bergen was sort of in them in the first season and chevy chase was in when he hosted in the third season... but when did the hosts start REGULARLY being in the sketches.
Thanks you SNL fans!

I have reviewed the transcripts for the second episode hosted by Paul Simon (October 18, 1975) and he does do a few songs, but does appear in The Bees skit announcing that it's been cut since it didn't do well the previous week. Later he appears in a bit shown during the Weekend Update with Chevy Chase. It has Marv Alpert reporting while Paul Simon is shown going head-to-head with Connie Hawkins on a basketball court. That would constitute as appearing in more than just a musical number.
ive been watching snl my whole life and they've always had the host in the sketches, at least one/
That would be with the first episode.
SNL has ALWAYS had the hosts in sketches, ever since their first episode in the early 70's.
They've always had there host in there sketches. You cant just have somebody host and not have them there the whole time!
