| Title | Image | Summary |
|---|---|---|
| The President's Birthday Cold Opening | Frank Sinatra (Joe Piscopo) sings a medley of his songs, altered for his friend Ronald Reagan's birthday. | |
| Monologue: James Coburn on How to Order a Drink | Hosting for the only time, James Coburn teaches 20-year-old Eddie Murphy that the trick to ordering a drink in a bar without getting carded is to order with confidence. | |
| Reach Out | An elderly couple decides it's time for little Jimmy (Frederick Koehler) to speak to his parents. | |
| I Married A Monkey | Madge, Tim and Baby Ronnie are on vacation at Walt Disney World, but Madge has been having more fun with a gas station attendant (James Coburn). | |
| Mister Robinson's Neighborhood | Mister Landlord (Tim Kazurinsky) has shut off the heat, so Mister Robinson teaches the boys and girls two new words: "mutha" and "pyromaniac". | |
| Jesus In Blue Jean | Jerry Falwell (Brian Doyle-Murray) pitches an album of Rock and Roll that contains no sex or drugs, just rockin' love songs to God. | |

| Crazy Mary, Gay Jim | Christine Ebersole is smitten with James Coburn, but Mary Gross is convinced he's a homosexual and clues the audience into the tells of his orientation. | |
| Saturday Night News | Doyle-Murray has a lengthy photo montage at the beginning of the segment about Bush getting a rock thrown at his limo and a line of succession influenced by free association. It was largely a waste of time but it had a few funny suggestions like "Sandy" from Little Orphan Annie and Elizabeth Taylor being the wild card. They would do a lot more of these lengthy and unfunny montages as the season goes on. The Raheem Abdul Mohammed (Eddie Murphy) commentary started off as a rewrite of the "no blacks in the movies" commentary from the season premiere; in fact, he actually screws up and says "Those were great movies!" again before correcting himself. It got funnier once he asserted that Gary Coleman wasn't black but "a little short Jewish man named Stu" and that NBC really meant "No Blacks and Coloureds". The book review started the final Gross/Doyle-Murray co-anchor stretch in motion by having Mary Gross takes her glasses off and Doyle-Murray fall in love with her (a la the "Beautiful All Along" trope). It wasn't particularly funny, aside from the exaggerated passionate kissing between the two. | |
| Victims of 60 Minutes | Dan Rather (Joe Piscopo) speaks on behalf of people who were forced into destitution thanks to 60 Minutes' investigative journalism. | |
| Magnificent Analyst | Ronald Reagan (voice of Joe Piscopo) goes over birthday cards and meets with Coburn, whose film roles in Our Man Flint, The President's Analyst and The Magnificent Seven have the President convinced he's the right man to help liberate Poland. Ed Meese (Tony Rosato) isn't so persuaded. | |
| Linday Buckingham performing "Trouble" | ||
| The Khaddaffi Look | Repeat from October 3, 1981 and November 7, 1981. | |
| Unique Perspectives | Harmony Hart-Seely (Robin Duke) interviews two survivalists (Tim Kazurinsky and Tony Rosato), who see nuclear war as an opportunity to pick up chicks. | |
| Those Crazy Taboosters | When Cookie Tabooster (Robin Duke) won't date Medgar Montessori (Eddie Murphy), his parents visit her family and make some unsettling discoveries about Cookie's clan. | |
| Christine Ebersole performed "Don't Let It Show" | Christine Ebersole performs a song for the other women on the show, who have to put up with sexism and degrading roles in sketches. | |
