The Nerds
One of the best regular sketches from the early years of Saturday Night Live were the “nerd” characters played by Gilda Radner and Bill Murray. What many forget is that their debut performance of this bit is that along with regular host, Steve Martin they were trying to push their band’s album and make it in the Rock and Roll world. Needless to say, their “album” was not picked up and “I’ll Give You My Lunch Money” never made it to the top ten on Billboard.
