That Show – Norman Bates Hosts SNL
from That Show Hasn't Been Funny In Years: an SNL podcast on Radio Misfits
Actor Anthony Perkins (Norman Bates from “Psycho”) hosted “Saturday Night Live” just once (on March 13th 1976, during the show’s first season), and while he did a surprisingly great job, the episode was filled with weird moments, terrible sketches, a musical guest that had a terrible night, and some insane technical problems that didn’t support the effort that Perkins made as host. There were, however, many historically notable things about this particular episode, and many moments that have actually stood the test of time (including a very funny “Psycho” parody sketch written by the brilliant Michael O’Donoghue), and they are all covered as Nick analyzes the only time that “Norman Bates” hosted SNL.[EP43]
