But to this day, perhaps no incident is quite as legendary as the infamous physical altercation that occurred between then-cast member Bill Murray and returning SNL star Chevy Chase.
At the time, Chase was regarded as the original Saturday Night Live breakout talent, culminating in a successful transition to the mainstream film industry with movies like 1978's Foul Play.
As Chase related it to Howard Stern, Chase's return was somewhat exasperated by his longtime professional rival and his former SNL co-star, John Belushi, who sparked escalating tensions between Chase and Murray.
Tensions soon came to a head when preparing for Chase's guest appearance on the show, which saw Murray telling Chase that everyone on the hit NBC series hated him. As the verbal sparring match continued, Murray called out Chase's marital disputes with then-wife Jacqueline Carlin, telling the comedian, "Go f**k your wife, she needs it."
Moments before the show was set to begin, the argument spiraled into a full-blown physical fight between the two in the dressing room, with Belushi himself caught in the middle.
As it turned out, the fight proved incredibly short-lived, with Belushi and Murray's brother Brian Doyle-Murray breaking the two up.
Addressing the incident in a 2012 interview with Empire, Murray said, "It was really a Hollywood fight, a 'Don't touch my face!' kind of thing."
"It was an Oedipal thing, a rupture," the Ghostbustersstar continued. "Because we all felt mad he had left us, and somehow I was the anointed avenging angel, who had to speak for everyone. But Chevy and I are friends now. It's all fine."
