Overview
- Foster hosted Saturday Night Live on Nov. 27, 1976 shortly after turning 14, a youngest-host mark later surpassed by 7-year-old Drew Barrymore in 1982.
- She says an Orange Julius spilled on her pants about 30 minutes before airtime, leaving her “sticky” throughout the live monologue.
- Brian Wilson served as musical guest on the episode, and Foster recalls he kept to himself, arrived with a minder, and performed barefoot from a sandbox.
- Foster notes the 1976 appearance was her only time hosting and says she would probably not return to the show.
- She recounted the memories to Entertainment Weekly at the Toronto International Film Festival while promoting A Private Life, as coverage also referenced Wilson’s death earlier this summer.
