Was this a local show, co-produced by these two outlets (in the same DMA)? I don't think they were co-owned at the time. But since I have never heard of the show (although the title is quite catchy) I am going to assume it's a local show.
 
Where was SNL on KING in Seattle? This would have been November sweeps, afterall...

SNL was off that week on NBC, replaced with the monthly news magazine, "Weekend". "Weekend" would be seen monthly in SNL's timeslot from 1975, until moving to prime-time in 1979.

A-ha! I had completely forgot about "Weekend". SNL has been around so long the whole tv world around it has changed!
 
I never knew Rolf Harris of "Tie Me Kangaroo Down,
Sport" fame ever had his own show, even if it was
Canadian. In fact, until just now I hadn't even heard
about him since he recorded that song. Interesting
what you can learn on these boards.

Rolf Harris was much more popular in Canada (especially Vancouver) than in his home country of Australia. It was a fun show, and he would end the show with a painting that he painted live.

People forget (or choose to block it out, anyway) that for most of the 80's, every other Saturday, NBC presented the wrestling program "Saturday Night's Main Event".
