DO NOT Get Caught Breaking the LAW 🙂 you only have 2 Choices when you break the LAW. 1). Prison 2). Bible Study Have a Nice Day. 😁

This was shown on the film "Two of Us" where John and Paul considered going, being that they were a block from the studio.

Thanks for uploading this. We don’t get SNL here in Australia, only snippets like this.❤

Oh my God Lorne looks so different there 😂😂 I really wish they took it though :((

Had they gone to the show to perform, actual reunion talks could have happened. The band getting back together would mean John moving back to england, and maybe he would still be with us. How one choice, one split second, shapes history.

George was actually the musical guest later on and they did a bit on the show where he enquires about the cheque ⬇️ kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJXLd5Wwnrl9lbc

Christmas is not even a christian holiday! It was stolen, just like most of the bible was, from paganism and then renamed "christmas". Also, god has been disproven until gid can be proven... if god really is "all powerful and all knowing". Still to this day, nobody has been able to come up with how to even prove god. Still to this day, everybody has been wrong about the world ending.

George had a talent for comedy as well as for music

This is from 24th April 1976. 18th episode of 1st season.

Should have offered $4 thousand dollars . That's a grand each.

Well said! Christianity, like most religions are cults.

The irony of this is that when this offer was made on live TV, Paul wasn't actually with John in The Dakota. It was the following week when they were together in The Dakota and John was telling Paul about the previous week's show and the offer. Lorne Michaels made the offer again and they said ''Shall we go down''? How great it would have been if they did.

Lol paul simon

Didn't Lennon comment on this in an interview in 1980?

This is hilarious. People are praying into these race bait bs propagandas!! It's awful...

Richard Pryor was voted the greatest comedian of all time. He in definitely number one in my book. A comedic genius. Unmatched!

Everybody is so sensitive nowadays. It's all this politically correct shit. FUCK all that shit

Bill Maher. We've come a long way.... Too many sensitive assholes nowadays.

Remember when Chevy Chase had to apologize for this? Yeah, me neither.

For every upvote this comment gets, KZbin will donate $1 so the uploader can buy a tripod.

LOL -- so amazing!

It's still brilliant.

I wouldn't have got myself out of bed for only $3000. An insulting offer to one of the best bands ever! This was a joke though I think.

Lorne is so handsome <3

LOVED IT I SAW IT YEARS AGO WAS FUNNY THEN AND NOW

Funniest thing about this is that John Lennon and Paul McCartney were in New York at Lennon's apartment watching SNL the night this episode aired. They almost grabbed their equipment and took a cab to the studio to crash SNL and play a show. But both were tired and decided not to. Thus, what would have been one of rock and roll's most memorable moments never happened.

For those Austin Powers fans.... Mike Myers (who obviously based his Dr. Evil on Lorne Michaels) got his idea for his 'one million dollar ransom' request from other cast members making fun of this sketch.

I've been looking all over for this video!!! Thanks so much for posting it.
