Broadcast note
Segment 7 — Weekend Update: Dennis Miller's lapel microphone falls off when he stands up to spit on the joke graphic during his rant about "The Bear". As he puts his microphone back on, he ad-libs "A little tech problem, kids, bear with me" and then "All that for the bear joke, OK. The bear's karma nailed me!"
