Last week.. We discussed Season 6 of Saturday Night Live which was Eddie Murphy's debut on national television. It was a rocky season. SNL hired an all new cast that the crittics hated. This season resulted in the firing of the whole cast except Eddie Murphy and Joe Piscopo. I had mentioned that I would love to know more about that season. Luck would have it that one of the listeners of the podcast knew a writer from that season. That writer's name is FERRIS BUTLER (SNL 1980-1981). In this episode... We talk about how he came to be a writer on this infamous season; How Eddie Murphy got on the show; His relationship with Gilbert Gotfried & much more. Most importantly.. We find out about how he was the inspiration for "FERRIS BUELLER'S DAY OFF".
