Well, I dunno about that. I really like his standup from back then. That said, there was a lot of stuff that wouldn't fly on SNL due to language.

SI

"We interrupt this program to tell you that Buckwheat has been shot!"

On the subject of Bill Murray, he did some stuff with Gilda Radner as the dorky brother and sister. He was also in a couple of Conehead skits, IIRC. I don't remember any iconic characters that he had, but he was a very solid performer on the show.

"Images", by Tyrone Greene

Dark and lonely on the summer night
Kill my landlord, kill my landlord
Watchdog barking - do he bite?
Kill my landlord, kill my landlord
Slip in his window, break his neck
Then his house I start to wreck
Got no reason...what the heck!
Kill my landlord, kill my landlord.
C-I-L-L my landlord.

"Hey Paul, let's dump Clarence and steal all his good ideas."

This has to be my favorite SNL bit, with Murphy playing Clarence, the saxophone-playing 5th Beatle

I had completely forgotten about that skit ... thanks ... I'm in tears here.
