Where To Watch
Can you name the TV star hosting Saturday Night Live in the 1970s?
See if you recognize these guest hosts from the first five seasons.
The "Not Ready for Primetime Players" made their debut in 1975.
Of course, they had some comedic help from guest hosts with plenty of primetime experience. We've gathered some classic TV icons from the first five seasons of SNL, up through the fifth season (1979–80). Okay, so yeah, a few of them were technically hosting in early 1980. But they are certainly all Seventies stars. See if you can identify them all.
Good luck!

A rare case of getting them all right. And Bea Arthur is best known for Maude. Goldern Girls is secondary.
15/15 mission complete. The one with Kate Jackson was a little tough because it looked like Farrah as well in the picture.

Can we get rid of these dumb spammers?
15/15 Though I was quite young when Desi Arnaz appeared, I remember it being a big deal. My parents were hosting 2 other couples for pinochle. When Don Pardo announced "Desi Arnaz" the game came to a halt until Desi finished his monologue.
Wow, #8 that looked like Farrah Fawcett. I thought they had two hosts that week.
And I thought Ricky Nelson died before 1975.

That was either a good wig or a good hairdresser had made up Jane Curtain
Ricky Nelson died a lot more recently than that. If I recall correctly, it was around '85..maybe '86. I'm just going by foggy memory and not googling the answer (too lazy at the moment haha).
