Tonight NBC is going to air the very first Saturday Night Live, hosted by George Carlin.

That was really interesting to watch, for a variety of reasons. I don't think I saw the original broadcast 33 years ago. There were lots of good segments, and lots of potential trivia questions. They crammed a lot of stuff into the first show. George Carlin, Andy Kaufman, Valri Bromfield, Billy Preston, Janis Ian, and much more. I didn't realize the Killer Bees and the Triple Trac razor came from the very first episode. Don Pardo stumbled on the words of "Not Ready For Prime Time Players."

Here's a complete transcript:

Any West Coasters should tune in tonight. I wonder what ever happened to Valri Bromfield. Her appearance on the historic first SNL episode didn't make her a household name.
