Who was the first woman to be both host and musical guest on "Saturday Night Live"?
Doing double duty as both host and musical guest on "Saturday Night Live" sounds more like a punishment than a reward to me.

Correct Answer: Lily Tomlin

Lily Tomlin brought her famous "Laugh-In" character Edith Ann, sang "St. James Infirmary" with Howard Shore and the All Nurse Band (in nurse outfits, obviously), and did a duet of "I Got You Babe" with a Muppet named Scred. She wasn't technically billed as the musical guest, but I'd say she earned the double billing.
