As a tribute to the late George Carlin, “Saturday Night Live” will re-air this weekend its 1975 premiere episode that featured Carlin as the show’s first guest host.

Remembering Carlin, “SNL” creator and executive producer Lorne Michaels said in a statement: “You never forget the people who were there at the beginning. George Carlin helped give ‘Saturday Night Live’ its start as our first host. He was gracious, fearless, and most important of all, funny.”

Carlin performed three individual monologues on the program that also introduced audiences to the now legendary “Not Ready For Prime-Time Players” – Dan Aykroyd, John Belushi, Chevy Chase, Jane Curtin, Garrett Morris, Larraine Newman and Gilda Radner.

The 1975 episode also features musical guests Janis Ian and Billy Preston as well as a performance from comedian Andy Kaufman.
