For this week of Season 6, Saturday Night Live has the very energetic Ray Sharkey hosting the show. Will Ray's hosting be as infamous and memorable as the previous host?

This episode of SNL has so much going for it, including a shockingly good punk rock performance from Ray Sharkey as well as former Cream lead singer Jack Bruce on hand as the musical guest. There is also a unique and meta sketch mocking New Year's Eve and - with the show running short - the legendary Eddie Murphy kills time with a stand-up routine.

We also witness Thomas changing Deremy's mind about a certain aspect of the episode. All of this and more on Not Ready for Season 6!
