I saw this episode live when I was a kid. I thought it was the height of perfection in comedy. I still believe it to be one of the best SNL's of all time. The writing was insanely good. The obvious standout is Da War of Da Woilds, but look deeper, What are you looking at (brilliantly clever), carbon paper, The lookout guys, I mean it is just a great example of comedic writing and performance, and innocent enough by todays standards (though the f-word is hinted at in the Woilds sketch). Tony Danza's personality came out in the monologue, he seems like a super nice and humble guy and really got the audience on his side right from the beginning. Along with one of the best SNL cast's ever assembled, together they made comedy history, at least in the eyes of this now grown up 12 year old kid.
