Saturday Night News with Brad Hall

A better night for Brad Hall; while again a lot of them were photo-based ones, the best joke (Crawford) had a surprising edginess (the picture was of a pro-choice protest with a banner featuring a crossed out coat hanger with the words "NEVER AGAIN"). Andy Kaufman makes his final SNL appearance with a pre-taped "thank you" message thanking the 169,000 or so who supported him on November 20th; Hall calls the earnest message "pretty sad" and announces that Kaufman now owes the network money for the airtime. Not really much more to the segment than that, but it worked. Joe Piscopo returns with Saturday Night Sports to comment on Billy Martin, recently rehired by the Yankees, by holding a contest that offers World Series tickets to the first person that correctly guesses when he will next be fired. He gets a jab in at NBC ("No transportation, no lodging, no meals! Big spenders, huh?") and there's a graphic of Martin in a guillotine, which cuts his head off at the end. There's nothing online confirming whether this was a real contest; I'm guessing it was a joke or it just petered out (for the record, Martin was next canned by Steinbrenner on December 16, 1983). Havnagootiim Vishnuuerheer (Tim Kazurinsky) returns with questions he would ask God. As usual, it's light but entertaining, and an audio glitch during one of the questions ("Is being the Almighty all that it's cracked up to be?") prompts an ad-lib from Kazurinsky ("I guess we got our answer").
