I was thinking about this today. At the time, everyone was talking about it. It was the height of SNL comedy. The Buckwheat character had been very popular but reaching the point of jumping the shark. It was close enough to the Reagan assassination attempt that people "got it" without being offended. The Ted Koppel impersonation was spot on. Just a really good conclusion (over the course of two weeks) to a really good bit.
