Il Cantore restaurant and SNL

Feeling festive?  Take a visit to Il Cantore, courtesy of Saturday Night Live.  This episode aired April 17, 1993 (season 18), with host Kirstie Alley (a great episode) at a time when every season seemed to end (roughly) with a "Cheers" castmember hosting (George Wendt in 1991, Woody Harrelson in 1992).  For the record, Ted Danson, Rhea Perlman (with husband, Danny DeVito) and Kelsey Grammer have also hosted.  That leaves Nicholas Colasanto (RIP), Shelley Long, Bebe Neuwirth and John Ratzenberger as the only castmembers who never hosted -- although Ratzenberger did make a cameo with Alley when she hosted in 1991.  A cameo which was spoofed in the April '93 episode (no spoilers!), just as "Cheers" went off the air.
