I hear John Belushi didn't like Chevy Chase. He called Chase something like Mr. Hollywood pretty boy.

9 out of 10. I largely hated that season and cast though, always felt it was way overrated. The celeb guest kept it afloat. I preferred Monty Python and SCTV over it & Later on Mad TV.

I really thought that Eddie Murphy and Bill Murray were in the first season.
I guess not.

Bill Murray started in Season 2 as a replacement for Chevy Chase, who was only in the first season.

10/10 Too easy however the Al Franken was a good trick question because he was a writer for the show back then, appearing in the next season or two with Tom Davis

9/10 Al Franken and his then comedy partner Tom Davis were originally there as writers from the beginning.
