The Early Years of SNL: S04E03 Frank Zappa (10/21/78)
Description
Of all the memorable mishaps in Saturday Night Live's history, perhaps none are as infamous as Frank Zappa's return to the show as both host AND musical guest. We couldn't tackle this one by ourselves so we welcome back SNLinReview's Andy Hoglund to help explore this controversial moment in SNL history.
Was this episode really that bad? And, if so, who was to blame? Was Zappa really "banned" from the show afterward? The truth behind this notorious broadcast might surprise you – in fact, one of us makes the case that this episode's bad reputation is undeserved. Join us as we dig into the evidence and decide for yourself.
