The one thing I THOUGHT I remembered about this episode was a mishap in the "Samurai Deli" sketch in which John Belushi raises his katana over & behind his head, and the edge of the blade strikes Buck Henry on the cheek, just missing his eye. And then Chevy Chase worked that into Weekend Update minutes later, reporting that "Saturday Night host Buck Henry was nearly killed tonight while performing a comedy sketch with John Belushi," while a slo-mo replay of the event was shown.
The only problem is, I checked the episode transcript, and none of this is in there! Is it an omission in the transcript? Or did the mishap occur in a different episode? I would have sworn it happened to Buck Henry, but did it happen to someone else?!?
