Season 6Episode 10February 14, 1981Weekend Update

Weekend Update with Charles Rocket and Gail Matthius

Also known as: Weekend Update

Hosted on the official SNL YouTube channel.

Aside from the "Newsbreak" segments, Update's format is also altered. Both guests (Gilbert Gottfried as right-wing expert Atkinson Peabody III, and Joe Piscopo with sports) uses visual gags, but rather than use cards or a cutaway, they swap seats with an anchor and use the center screen. (Rocket can be seen rising from his seat and leaving while Matthius reads one of the stories.)
