Quotes 

• Gilda Radner : Gilda, settle a bet. My wife, Kevin, says that you start off the show by saying "Give me all your hot monkey love", I say she is wrong. Well, Kevin, your wife is wrong, because no matter what the beginning, we always start the show by saying: Live from New York, it's Saturday Night!

• Gilda Radner : [Reading a question from an audience member named Kevin]  Are these questions written by us, the audience, or by the writers. Well, Kevin, I hope you're not disappointed but these questions are written by the writers.

• Emily Littela : And in other news, there's too much violins on TV. There's too much violins on television. They should put the violins on at eleven after the kids are asleep.

  Chevy Chase : Um, Emily, that's violence, not violins.

  Emily Littela : Never mind.

• Chevy Chase : Here with an editorial reply is Miss Emily Lattella.

  Emily Lattella : What's all this fuss I keep hearing about violins on television? Why don't parents want their kids to see violins on television? I thought the Leonardo Bernstein concerts were just lovely, now, if they only show violins on television after ten o'clock at night, the little babies will all be asleep and they won't learn any music appreciation. They'll learn to play guitars, and bongo drums and go to Africa and join these rock'n roll outfits and they won't drink milk! I think there should be more violins on television and less game shows, it's terrible the way...

  Chevy Chase : Um, Littella, that's Violence on television. Not violins.

  Emily Lattella : Oh, well that's diffrent. Never mind!

• Rosanne Rosannadanna : A Mrs. Richard Feder, from Fort Lee, New Jersey, writes in and says: "Dear Roseanne Rosannadanna, I want to breat feed my baby but I'm not quite sure how you do it. Which breast do I use? How do I get the milk to be the right temperature? Do I have to heat up my breast? Do I have to sterilize my nipple? When I'm done, do I have to put my breast back in the refrigerator? And, if I eat a Hershey bar, will my breast make chocolate milk?" Mrs. Feder, I didn't think it was possible, but you're just as stupid as your husband.
