  • The 118th episode was hosted by former cast member Bill Murray. It was notable for two reasons: There was a one-time name and format change for Weekend Update, in which it was done in three segments and called Saturday Night NewsLine. It was also the last episode for producer Jean Doumanian and much of the cast. The episode contained two references to Charles Rocket's use of the "F" word on the previous episode.

  • The 118th episode was hosted by former cast member Bill Murray. It was notable for two reasons: There was a one-time name and format change for Weekend Update, in which it was done in three segments and called Saturday Night NewsLine. It was also the last episode for producer Jean Doumanian and much of the cast. The episode contained two references to Charles Rocket's use of the "F" word on the previous episode. This was the second-to-last episode of season 6. The following episode would be delayed due to the replacement of Doumanian by Dick Ebersol. Due to a reorganization under Ebersol, this episode was the last for Gilbert Gottfried, Charles Rocket, Ann Risley, as well as all three featured players (Matthew Laurance, Patrick Weathers, and Yvonne Hudson).
