Saturday Night Live 1976


Leon and Mary Russell performed on the 20th episode of Saturday Night Live on May 15, 1976 with guest hostess Dyan Cannon. Songs performed were Satisfy You and Daylight from The Wedding Album .
As I recall, John Belushi joined in at the end of Daylight doing his impersonation of Joe Cocker.




Bob & Ray, Jane, Laraine and Gilda - 1979

Willie Nelson & Leon appeared on this comedy special-spin-off from Saturday Night Live in 1979.  Comedy team, Bob & Ray, were hosts and featured the girls of SNL: Jane Curtin, Laraine Newman, & Gilda Radner. The best I can tell is that this program aired on March 31, 1979.

Songs performed were:
Georgia - Willie (with Leon & much of the band in shadow)
Heartbreak Hotel - Leon & Willie
One for My Baby and "One More for the Road" - Willie accompanied by Leon without the bannd.

On Heartbreak Hotel, more often than not, the camera would be pointed at Willie during Leon's vocals.
