The show was Michaels' second network television show created after Saturday Night Live. Several former original cast members and hosts from SNL's 1970s era made appearances throughout the series' short run, including Laraine Newman, Gilda Radner, Steve Martin, and Buck Henry. After NBC cancelled The New Show, Michaels would return to SNL as executive producer in 1985.
