S03-V4

After the preceding episode’s revert to the original opening montage from the first two seasons (presumably due to Chevy Chase hosting), they’re back to using this season’s jumbotron montage. A big change, however is that most of the cast now has new shots. Dan Aykroyd and Gilda Radner, the first and last cast member announced, still have the same shot from before, in which they’re posing in front the jumbotron that’s displaying their name, but all the cast members announced in between them have new shots where they’re shown in a random place in the city.
