M. Kit Carson. He is stepson of Stephen Eckelberry and stepbrother of Celine Eckelberry, Stephen's daughter. He made his first national appearance in October 1976, at the age of nine months, when his mother hosted \"Saturday Night Live.\" During her opening monologue, Black held Hunter in her arms the entire time.
