- Robert Townsend was originally to be part of the ill-fated Saturday Night Live 1980 cast, but, a couple months before the season went to air, Townsend was bumped in favor of another actor: Eddie Murphy. This was only allowed since Townsend had not yet been signed to a contract. Murphy soon became a major part of the series, being one of two survivors of the major cast turnover at the end of the season. The other survivor was Joe Piscopo.
