The Andy Kaufman poll results are in: Dump Andy beat Keep Andy 195,544 to 169, 186. Andy Kaufman is banned from SNL, to Gross and Kazurinsky's visibly upset facial expressions. Barrymore looks like she's fighting her exhaustion, but rallies for her goodbye.

Piscopo has little Joey back this week, who starts waving a little early (Piscopo and Murphy are focused on him). Kroeger throws the scraps of the results card into the audience before he and Kazurinsky pick Barrymore off her stool and start swinging her around. Don Pardo announces upcoming shows with Chevy Chase (a rerun), The Smothers Brothers and Nick Nolte before saying he voted for Andy Kaufman.

FINAL THOUGHTS:

Between the extra-young host and the phone-in poll, this particular show didn't feel like a full episode of SNL; unfortunately, the constraints of working with such a young host really seemed obvious tonight, and the phone-in poll only served as a distraction. Worse still, the material outside of Ebersol's gimmicks was weaker than usual; nothing was truly terrible, but the lack of very strong material hurt the show overall. Kazurinsky worked well with Barrymore, who did her best and showed some charm, but the main thing tonight's show proved was that a seven-year-old is a little too young to host a live late-night comedy program; the show never went that young for its child-star hosts again.
