Unusually for this series, the musical guest--in this case, Madonna--not only appeared in the cold open but also shouted, "Live from New York, it's Saturday Night!" Unfortunately, she flubbed the line and was about to say "Live from Saturday Night" before stopping and correcting herself.
Madonna parodied Sinéad O'Connor's performance from Tim Robbins/Sinéad O'Connor (1992) by ripping a photo of Joey Buttafuoco and yelling "Fight the real enemy".
A sketch called "Eager & Jones" was performed during the dress rehearsal but did not get picked. It will however appear in Miranda Richardson/Soul Asylum (1993).
