With an extra minute to kill, Robin Williams teases that he's about to show "something you can't see on TV" before saying goodnight to his son in the baby voice from "New Bad Babies".

Don Pardo announces next week's show in a silly voice.

Descente America gets a credit for the bobsled suits in the cold opening.

FINAL THOUGHTS:

A fairly solid episode, helped greatly by the contributions of Robin Williams and Eddie Murphy. Williams was a fairly busy and involved host, carrying a number of the sketches with his skills and performances. While not quite the triumph of the Don Rickles show, this feels like a more typical episode for the season, though a bit more consistently strong throughout compared to earlier in the season. Rickles' show suggested SNL finally found a way to mitigate Murphy's absence; tonight seemed to prove how much his presence boosted the studio energy.
