All good (and bad) things must come to an end.

We look back at all that Season 5 of #SNL had to offer - our favorite sketches, musical acts, hosts, & moments from the end of the original era. And, of course, a few things that made us scratch our heads.

We made it!

Buck Henry returns to host the final episode of the original era of #SNL. Andrew Gold & Andrae Crouch (w/ The Voices of Unity) are the MGs for the Season 5 finale.

Bittersweet as we say goodbye to a few recurring characters & get one final iconic sketch.

Steve Martin hosts #SaturdayNightLive for the 8th (and final) time of the original era.

And yet...he's gets overshadowed by the one and only Paul McCartney who makes his #SNL debut. 3-D also performs.

The next to last episode of The Early Years is up now!

Comedy legend Bob Newhart hosts #SNL for the first time as S5 comes closer to its end.

The Amazing Rhythm Aces AND Bruce Cockburn are the musical guests.

An interesting episode to say the least. Give it a listen!

One of Hollywood biggest stars hosts #SNL as Burt Reynolds headlines this late S5 outing w/ Anne Murray (back?) as musical guest.

They can't all be winners, but this one does manage a few saving bits to close out the show. Plus, there is A LOT of gum chewing!
