Spoofed on SNL

I tried to add this in the "connections" section, but I don't understand what the hell they want, and it's IMPOSSIBLE to add something, but I recall Paul Simon hosting Saturday Night Live and doing a spoof of the ice cream parlour incident as 'Billy Paul'. Under 'other title', what are they wanting? I put Saturday Night Live, it gives me a list of episodes. I put in the exact episode (season 2, epi. 8, Nov. 1976), and it says it's not there, choose from this list again, so I just choose randomly to get it contributed, and no matter what it rejects it. I've looked in FAQ, submission guidelines, you name it, nothing is of any help.

Think they need suggestions from different people. So they don't think one person is making it up. I tried to list that David Roya was in KING KONG (1976) but they never put it up. But I made a thread on his IMDb page, and others agreed it was true. Guess they also submitted the info, and now its up.

OMG...I just read on Wikipedia (the least reliable source of info) that this episode of SNL aired after "Billy Jack" aired on TV that night! But they also claim Billy Jack is Cherokee, and there is never any mention of what nation he come from, and they only mention TWO instances of Mystery Science Theatre 3000 mentioning the film, when I know there's at least a couple more.
And I SO need to take some time to map out the bead pattern on Billy Jack's hatband.
Further trivia: Billy Jack's hat is known as an 'Uncle Joe' hat.
