I have the one where Shannen Doherty hosted

I know that's not much, but thought I'd post anyway. I think its from 1993. Also have the retail vhs of Best of Adam Sandler with the clip from that same show.

Good luck on this, that's quite a project!

I have some of the rarer ones that never made it to syndication, or in which there were screwups etc. Here is a partial list:

Saturday Night Live: Game Show Parodies - Parodies of popular television game shows like
"Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?", "Jeopardy", more. (5) Abrupt beginning.

Saturday Night Live: Milton Berle - One of two episodes that Lorne Michaels intentionally
omitted from syndication packages. Rumor has it, "Mr. Television" was such an ******* to the
cast and crew, that Lorne swore this episode would not be shown again. The musical guest is
Ornette Coleman. From the original 1979 NBC broadcast. All commercial breaks remain intact. (3)

Saturday Night Live: Robert Blake - 1982 episode hosted by accused murderer Robert Blake.
The musical guest is Kenny Loggins. From an NBC rebroadcast later in the season. All
commercial breaks remain intact. (2.5)

Saturday Night Live: Dick Cavett - SNL's twelfth episode marks the first time Cavett will host.
The musical guest is Jimmy Cliff. From the original 1976 NBC broadcast. Some commercial breaks
remain intact. (1)

Saturday Night Live: Louise Lasser - Notorious episode omitted from syndication packages by
Lorne Michaels due to the host being a certified full-blown wackaloon. Louise seems really
spacey and out of touch with reality, (as if under the influence of something illicit).
The musical guest is the Preservation Hall Jazz Band. From the original 1976 NBC broadcast.
All commercial breaks remain intact. (3)

Saturday Night Live: Jude Law - Notorious episode in which the musical guest, Ashlee Simpson,
was caught lip-synching, and tried to blame her band by saying they started playing the wrong
song (right...). From an NBC re-broadcast; Although I doubt anything was edited since Simpson's
mistake and the resulting premature commercial break were left intact. All commercial breaks
remain intact. (5)

Saturday Night Live: Richard Pryor - SNL's seventh episode hosted by Pryor, with musical
guest Gil-Scott Heron. From the original 1975 NBC broadcast. All commercial breaks remain
intact. (3)

Saturday Night Live: Rob Reiner - SNL's third episode hosted by Reiner, with musical guest
Joe Cocker. This was back in the day when the show was still called "NBC's Saturday Night".
From the original 1975 NBC broadcast. All commercial breaks remain intact. (1.5)

Saturday Night Live: Steven Seagal - Supposedly difficult to find. The musical guest is
Michael Bolton. From the original 1991 NBC broadcast. The commercials are edited out. (4.5)

Saturday Night Live: Al Sharpton - Infamous episode that didn't air in some markets due to the
fact that Sharpton was then running for president. The musical guest is Pink. From an NBC
re-broadcast. All commercial breaks remain intact. (5)

Saturday Night Live: Paul Simon - SNL's second episode. Mostly an all music show, Art Garfunkel,
Randy Newman, and Phoebe Snow also appear. From the original 1975 NBC broadcast. All commercial
breaks remain intact. (1.5)

Saturday Night Live: Charlene Tilton - A mundane 1981 entry made famous by Charles Rocket's use
of the "f-word" on live television. This incident (among others) led to then producer
Jean Doumanian's subsequent dismissal. Much of the cast was given the axe as well. The musical
guests are Todd Rundgren, and a "new artist" named "Prince". From a Canadian Comedy Channel
re-broadcast, Rocket's slip is surprisingly left intact. No commercials. (3.5)

Saturday Night Live: Reece Witherspoon - This is the first episode that aired after 9/11/01 and
features an opening speech by New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani. The musical guest is Alicia Keys.
(4.5)
