The eighth season of ''Saturday Night Live'', an American sketch comedy series, originally aired in the United States on NBC between September 25, 1982, and May 14, 1983. Many changes happened before the start of the season. Brian Doyle-Murray, Christine Ebersole and Tony Rosato were dropped from the show to make room for new cast members. Hired in their places were Brad Hall, Julia Louis-Dreyfus (Hall's future wife and future ''Seinfeld'' cast member), and Gary Kroeger. Dick Ebersol brought back the show's cold openings that ended with "''Live from New York, it's Saturday Night!''" and the monologues by the host. Ebersol also changed Weekend Update's name for the second time, to ''Saturday Night News''. Since Doyle-Murray and Ebersole had both been dropped, a new anchor was needed for the segment. Hall got the gig and became the new anchor. Notable moments of this season included Drew Barrymore hosting the show—the youngest ever person to host. During the episode, the audience at home was given the chance to vote on whether or not Andy Kaufman should be banned from the show. The vote was conducted by a 1-900 number. At the end of the show, Kaufman was banned from ever performing on ''SNL'' again. Another notable moment was when Eddie Murphy hosted the show. Murphy substituted for his ''48 Hours'' co-star Nick Nolte after Nolte fell ill (Nolte became hungover following a night of partying at Studio 54). Murphy became the only person to have hosted the show while still a cast member. He controversially announced "Live from New York, it's the Eddie Murphy Show!" Murphy's hosting gig angered most of the cast and crew, particularly Joe Piscopo. ==Cast== ;Repertory cast members *Robin Duke *Mary Gross *Brad Hall *Tim Kazurinsky *Gary Kroeger *Julia Louis-Dreyfus *Eddie Murphy *Joe Piscopo bold denotes Weekend Update anchor 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Saturday Night Live (season 8)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
