Ep 12. Luke Perry/Mick Jagger

Luke Perry, the popular actor of the time, hosted the 12th episode of the 18th season of Saturday Night Live with Mick Jagger as a guest performer. The show aired in February 1993 and was highly anticipated by the fans of both Luke Perry and Mick Jagger.

The opening sketch, "Clinton's Trip," featured Phil Hartman as Bill Clinton on a trip to New York City. The sketch showed Clinton interacting with various people, including a street vendor, a hot dog vendor, a mugger, and even Mick Jagger. The sketch had the perfect mix of political references and humor, making it a great opening.

The monologue was delivered by Luke Perry himself. The actor discussed his rise to fame, his acting career, and his personal life. He also gave a shout-out to his fans who have supported him since the beginning of his career. This universal message was well received by the audience and set the tone for the rest of the show.

The first sketch after the monologue was titled "Wild and Crazy Guys on Valentine's Day." This sketch featured Steve Martin and Dan Aykroyd as two eastern European brothers who were looking for love on Valentine’s Day. They end up crashing a Valentine’s Day party and get into an altercation with Mick Jagger. The sketch was full of slapstick comedy and the audience loved it.

Next up was a commercial parody titled "Sexual Harassment and You." This sketch featured some of the SNL cast members, including Kevin Nealon and Ellen Cleghorne. The parody showed a corporate training video on how to deal with sexual harassment in the workplace. The sketch was timely, given the increasing awareness of sexual harassment in the workplace.

One of the highlights of the show was the Weekend Update segment, which was hosted by Kevin Nealon. Some of the topics covered in this segment included the O.J. Simpson trial, the controversy surrounding the Pledge of Allegiance, and the rising popularity of Grunge music. The segment was very well written and delivered and received a lot of laughs from the audience.

The next sketch was called "The Richmeister" and featured Rob Schneider as a corporate office worker who constantly makes annoying phone calls to his co-workers. The sketch was a fan favorite and Rob Schneider's character, the Richmeister, became a recurring character on the show.

The final sketch of the episode was titled "The Rolling Stones - Anybody Seen My Baby?" This sketch featured Mick Jagger and the rest of the Rolling Stones performing their hit song "Anybody Seen My Baby?" The sketch was a great way to end the show as it showcased Mick Jagger's musical talents and also paid tribute to the iconic band.
