Ep 10. Candice Bergen/Frank Zappa

In Saturday Night Live's season 2 episode 10, host Candice Bergen takes the stage alongside musical guest Frank Zappa. The episode opens with a cold open featuring Chevy Chase as President Ford, followed by Bergen's monologue in which she pokes fun at herself and the many hats she has worn throughout her career.

Sketches in this episode include a spoof commercial for "Mom Jeans," a family-friendly game show called "What If?," and a political debate between Gerald Ford (Chevy Chase) and Jimmy Carter (Dan Aykroyd). In one memorable sketch, Bergen plays a woman who buys an antique mirror only to discover that it's haunted by the ghost of a snarky Victorian woman (played by Gilda Radner).

Musical guest Frank Zappa performs two songs during the episode: "I'm the Slime" and "Peaches en Regalia," both of which showcase his eclectic blend of rock, jazz, and experimental music.

One particularly topical sketch from this episode involves an oil shortage that has led to long lines at gas stations. In the sketch, a man (played by John Belushi) tries to cut in line at a gas station by pretending to be a doctor on an emergency call. When he's exposed as a fraud, chaos ensues as other drivers try to get their hands on the limited supply of fuel.

The episode also features Weekend Update with Chevy Chase, who delivers his signature mix of news commentary and irreverent humor. Topics covered in this episode include the Soviet war in Afghanistan, the growing popularity of jogging, and the newly-released film "Close Encounters of the Third Kind."

Overall, the Candice Bergen/Frank Zappa episode of Saturday Night Live is a memorable installment of the show's early years. With its mix of celebrity impressions, political satire, and offbeat sketches, it's a prime example of the show's signature blend of humor and social commentary.
