Yes, I believe it was in 1990? She was the first daytime actor or actress to host the show. The opening skit was all about the Emmy and how EVERYONE at SNL had Emmys, and they had so many of them that they used them for free weights, door stops, etc. There was a lot of soap spoofing in that episode too. Phil Hartman played a character who I guess was supposed to be sort of Jack Montgomery in a very melodramatic skit about lost luggage.

Apparently this is from a Feburary or March 1990 issue of TVGuide. Found it in the old google groups archive. I don't know how true it is.

"Late last year, ABC's All My Children hired Dorothy Lyman lookalike
Jill Larson to play Opal Gardner, a part that won Lyman 2 emmys and a ticket to prime time on NBC's Mama's Family in the early 80s. But did AMC know it could
have had the real McCoy? "I absolutely would have considered
it, but nobody asked," says Lyman, whose series, having
gone from NBC to first run syndications was ending production right
around the time AMC was recasting....[Lyman quote deleted]"
