Married. Tammy Wynette, 34, heart-in-the-throat queen of country-and-western song; and Michael Tomlin, 31, a Nashville real estate executive; she for the fourth time, he for the first; in Nashville, Tenn. Wynette postponed her honeymoon last week to appear at a reception for the diplomatic corps at the White House, where she sang several of her old hits, including Stand By Your...

Carlin set the pace on his, the first show, with a line that would make prime-time programmers blanch: "God can't be perfect; everything he makes dies." By the time Lily Tomlin came on to host the fifth show, SN had a cult following. She made it a smash, her double-edged style and swift undercuts setting off SN's frenzied variety. Suddenly, everyone wanted to act as host: Richard Pryor, Elliott Gould, Buck Henry, Peter Cook and Dudley Moore, the British...
