The 1994 book "Saturday Night Live: The First Twenty Years" features a photograph of bulletin board in Lorne Michaels's ninth-floor office listing all the 19th season's hosts and musical guests at the time Alec Baldwin & Kim Basinger/UB40 (1994) was in production in the section called 'A Week in the Life of SNL'. It reveals that Drew Barrymore was scheduled to host for the second time (her first since 1982) on April 16th, but had to be back out at the last minute. She was replaced by Emilio Estevez. Barrymore would finally finally host again in 1999, in Drew Barrymore/Garbage (1999).
Pearl Jam lead singer Eddie Vedder wore a shirt with the letter 'K' on the front, as a tribute to Nirvana singer/guitarist Kurt Cobain, who had died earlier that week.
