SNL Musicians and odds and ends.

Funny Musicians and other clips I didn’t have room for.

When the musicians or interactions with them are more hilarious than you’d expect

So today’s edition of Satuday Night Live moments is going to have very little music in it, but I assure it will make you laugh your ass off.

Musicians can be absolutely hilarious, or sometimes accept that the joke is on them at least.

Some musicians have served as hosts and offered up complete awesome moments.  For instance, Paul Simon, Gath Brooks, Justin Timberlake, all great Musical hosts, so picking a clip to represent them is the hardest.  But for the musicians that briefly appear their moments had to be hilarious.

Also, because I only have 1 day left and tomorrow is full of songs I am using this as a clean up to throw in some of thevideos, that I know you guys want to see.  just because I have no other way to show Them  to you. Unless I just say Watch This, so I will do that.

Again there is not going to be a top ten, because I am trying to find all these clips and remember everything or find everything.

I feel like I am getting closer to some contact From Jimmy Fallon, I reached out to Conan O brien last night, after all, he wrote for SNL and even appeared in a few scenes. , Plus I know he has a great relationship with the folks at NBC right?

Ok, so here comes some good stuff.



Gath Brooks, backstage with Tracy Morgan

Garth Brooks as I said was always a great Host and I think he will make this list more than once.  Tracy Morgan is also hilarious and off the hook.  And this is old Tracy Morgan, before 30 Rock.

So I will give you some brief back story.  Garth Brooks was the biggest country music superstar in the 90s, and that is just my opinion.

But then in 1999, he became Chris Gaines. A rock singer who looked a little different than Garth and, in a Kaufman/ Clifton sort of way, kinda tried to make you believe they were two people.

For instance, in this episode of SNL The Host was Gath Brooks, but the musical guest was Chris Gaines. So when Tracy caught up with Garth back stage, he let Garth know how he, and a good representation of America felt about Chris Gaines.

So  That is that.  On a side note, I hate NBC for squashing all clips of their shows, but at the same time, love Lorne Michaels, especially in this clip. I mean he is the Big Boss of SNL and the way he lets Tracy treat him is hysterical.  I wish I could talk to a boss of mine like that and not get fired.






I have had video issues so try this link if the video does not work

Behind The Music

Ok, so I have to get this out of the way right away:


Ok, there it, is.  A hilarious moment that I know everyone was waiting to see. Couldn’t figure out a way to get it in without forcing it on you.  Walken is hilarious,  Ferrell is great Fallon is fucking crying . I have never been able to listen to that song the same again. and I got a fever!!



Beyonce gets some new Dancers

 Why is this hilarious, because it is the single ladies video. And Beyonce is a star and it is awesome . Dare I say more and ruin the surprise?

Ok so This is at the shoot for Single Ladies, and Paul Rudd is apparently the director of the video, and he hired some new dancers, who are not quite what Beyonce wanted.  There is an awesome cameo by someone who wasn’t even supposed to be there.  They play 1 of the dancers. Check it out




The Chris Farley Show with Paul McCartney

So The Chris Farley show was an awesome recurring sketch where Chris Farley would interview people, but Chris seemed to be portraying like a 7 year old version of himself.

All of his guests were so nice to him, and it is so hilarious, He talks to them about ridiculous things and then asks them ridiculous questions and it just gets out of control. Usually he is talking to tv stars or movie stars.

But, this time he got Paul McCartney as a guest. That is just awesome. A good boy from Wisconsin interviewing Sir Paul. And very childlike. 

Oddly enough I think if I ever got to interview Paul McCartney , I might be so in awe, and act even dumber than this.

Ok, so really quickly, I know the original interview was longer but this was all I could find.  I searched deep, and I think I downloaded a virus to my laptop , so you get just the ending of it, but hey its still great. 




The Protest Song

Ok so here is another thing that fits in nowhere, So I force you to watch it . it is from SNL but did not originate there, but is funny, aweseome and great all at once. 

Dr. House is British and funny as fuck, but did you know he can sing and play guitar and harmonica.  You do now!!  I love this song too, it fits in with so many things happening. And it is a funny view  of both sides from an Englishman’s perspective.






Paul Simon is a Turkey

This was season 2 and the show was still getting going. Paul Simon was always hilarious in the show. 

However this came about I have no idea. I mean it was Thanksgiving, and who doesn’t want to see a turkey , and especially one that is Paul Simon.

This scene is 37 years old, and I can’t stop laughing when I watch it.  It is still relevant and great. Paul Simon is fucking hilarious. I have no Idea who Jan Micheal Vincent is, or why he references him, but that part makes me laugh too.

Lorne Micheals is again a great sport as he is being ridiculed and yelled at.  I love it.

“I  Can’t fit through the door”








Lazy Sunday

Can I show you something else, that not only is funny but is also important in so many ways. This helped launch so many careers and is just hilarious.

To me, I think this helped the Digital shorts last, it was the second one.  The other thing this did was help The Lonely Island gain recognition , So for me this moment was awesome and so perfect

Also this video and clips of it helped YouTube become extra successful and get sold to Google supposedly.







The Culps

I always loved the Culps, and really, anytime you get to see Will Ferrell doing comedy it is so worth it.

 That meant that on  this night when Ferrell returned as host I knew it would be an incredible, moment, but I never thought that he was going to bring Ana Gasteyer  back with him to revive the Culps.

So for me it was a hilarious funny moment that really got me rolling . If you can find other old Culps clips I applaud you and want to see them.






Mick Jagger talks to the Mirror


Mick Jagger is a rock star and a legend but apparently still gets nervous  before shows and talks to himself in the mirror.

So Jimmy Fallon and Mick Jagger go out and do a great routine together, and it is a really good scene, and honestly the mirror game is just an improv warm up game that usually no one gets to see.

Fallon does a great Jagger, and Jagger plays right along.  I don’t know if at any point they are reading off cue cards. Because they are looking right at each other the whole time.  And if I am right about that then it is absolutely hilarious

Jagger cuts up and laughs a little and I love the tea bit, but this is Jagger showing that maybe he should have been in Pirates of the Caribbean.




Speaking  of Pirates of The Caribbean

Yo Taylor, Im really happy for you , Im’ma let you finish but….

Michael Bolton had  one of the best videos of all time…                  

Michael Bolton revitalized his career with this appearance. At least in my opinion.  Yes this is awesome and unedited but it debuted as a music video on Saturday Night Life. 

Please if you have a drink put it down, cause you will spit it at your screen .  This might be the only time that I fucking recommend Michael Bolton, so enjoy. 

One of the best videos of all time…





Bring It On Down to Liquorville

This is one of the best recurring sketches that Timberlake does, and this was probably the best version.

Kristen Wiig is hilarious as a tea bag who cant stop saying inadvertently dirty things. But come on why Timberlake loves to wear these suits is beyond me.

Then when the actual music guest shows up the sketch goes crazy, and I just about shit my pants when I first saw this one.
But seriously look any of JT’s bring it on down sketches up, side splitting humor ensues.








So I just thought you would enjoy these clips that are all musical in many sorts of ways. And are all from Saturday Night live.   At this point if I forgot anything please please let me know because tomorrow is the last day of SNL material, and I do have a theme for it, but I will try to add it.

So thanks for reading, and watching, and please comment and share this.  The only way love is spread is through sharing and caring.

And as an extra gift for you hear is a present for you,
