Re: The Kelly Robinsons ....

As a matter of fact, I was there for the taping of that epsiode of "Saturday Night Live", hosted by Bob. The photos you see are from the teaser, in which Kelly Robinson is working in a locker room (I believe in a tennis club), when Eddie comes in as Bill Cosby, doing an amazing imitation, of course. The joke is that "Bill" keeps interrupting the conversation to make references to different products that Cosby was endorsing at the time (Coke, Jell-O Pudding, etc.). At one point, he and Bob "sing" the "I Spy" theme.

The episode was not one of the best, mainly because they didn't know quite what to do with Bob. He did a sketch in which he was the captain on a submarine that has been stuck on the bottom of the ocean for years and the crew is bored to death and must find ways to amuse themselves. The sketch really didn't go anywhere. Years later I worked on a project with the guy who wrote the sketch, who claimed that sketch killed in run through.

The Charlie Daniels Band was the musical guest. When Bob announced them, he was holding up Samantha, who was a baby at the time, dressed in a tiny Greatest American Hero costume, his hands covering her tiny ears.
