Here was this extraordinary all-star team, the likes of which I had never seen before.}}</ref>

He then appeared as a cast member on the [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] variety show ''[[Saturday Night Live with Howard Cosell]]'', alongside his brother Bill and fellow Lampoon alum [[Christopher Guest]]. By January 1976, the series was canceled, and Bill became a cast member on ''[[NBC]]'s'' ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' during its [[Saturday Night Live season 2|second season]] in 1977. By the second-half of the show's [[Saturday Night Live season 3|third season]] in 1978, Doyle-Murray was hired as a writer.<ref>{{cite episode|title=Steve Martin/Randy Newman|series=Saturday Night Live|season=3|number=9|network=NBC|date=January 21, 1978|time=Closing credits}}</ref> Amid some cast changes, Doyle-Murray was made a featured cast member, within the second-half of the show's [[Saturday Night Live season 5|fifth season]] in 1980. He remained the only writer to return to the show in [[Saturday Night Live season 6|season 6]], and though not a featured player any more, he wrote for [[Jean Doumanian]] for 1980 to 1981, after executive producer [[Lorne Michaels]], the entire cast, and most of the writing staff had left. After [[Dick Ebersol]] took over as producer near the end of the season, Doyle-Murray was retained as a writer (despite not writing for the April 11 finale),<ref>{{cite episode|title=no host/Jr. Walker & the All-Stars|series=Saturday Night Live|season=6|number=13|network=NBC|date=April 11, 1981|time=Closing credits}}</ref> and returned as a featured player for the show's [[Saturday Night Live season 7|seventh season]] from 1981 to 1982, in which he also anchored ''[[Weekend Update]]'' (which was renamed ''SNL Newsbreak'' during his sole season anchoring the segment).<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.vulture.com/2013/02/saturday-nights-children-brian-doyle-murray-1979-1980-1981-1982.html | title=Saturday Night's Children: Brian Doyle-Murray (1979-1980; 1981-1982) | date=February 6, 2013 }}</ref> Additionally, he and fellow writers [[Barry Blaustein]], [[David Sheffield]], and [[Pam Norris]] were the only writers from Doumanian's tenure to return for season 7. He departed after the end of season 7 after 4½ years writing for the show, and two non-consecutive seasons, as a featured player.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.vulture.com/2013/02/saturday-nights-children-brian-doyle-murray-1979-1980-1981-1982.html | title=Saturday Night's Children: Brian Doyle-Murray (1979-1980; 1981-1982) | date=February 6, 2013 }}</ref>
