According to the insanely detailed unofficial SNL site www.saturday-night-live.com, Sun Ra appeared on May 20, 1978 - the final show of the 77/78 season. The Comedy Network up here repeats old SNLs a couple of times a day, Jeff, so you may be able to catch it sometime. I don't know if they show them in order, but the last one I caught a couple of weeks ago was from the mid 80s (the Murphy/Piscopo/etc. years). Greg
