Who was the first host to say "Live from New York, It's Saturday Night Live!"?

Are you sure he said exactly that, as per the quotes? Normally the line is "Live from New York, it's Saturday Night". The show was officially named NBC's Saturday Night for the first two seasons, (1975-76 - 1976-77), to distinguish it from Saturday Night Live with Howard Cosell, which aired on ABC in 1975-76.
