For twelve years, you have been asking: Who is John Galt? This is John Galt speaking. I am the man who loves his life. I am the man who does not sacrifice his love or his values. I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are peris

Thanks for the heads up.

Prince performed 5 times on the show in 2014, 2006, 1989, and 1981. And Armisen did any number of Prince Show sketches. Gonna be interesting to see how they pad out the rest of the special.

It would be great to have decent quality recordings of the 81 & 89 performances. He was originally booked for the 1995 season premiere, but flaked out during the week. Blues Traveler took his place. David Spade referenced the Purple One a couple weeks later during his "Spade In America" segment, calling out Prince. Will that make it into the show tonight?

Edit: He also played at the 40th anniversary after party. Recounted here. Thanks to Tim Kazurinsky for getting the whole thing on video!

Going by Fallon's intro speech, they're going to show the 40th anniversary performance at some point.

They showed the '81 performance at the beginning. Looking forward to 2014, that's seriously in the discussion for best SNL performance ever.

It's hard to remember a time when Fred Armisen did good impressions, after all the years of terrible ones.

They put phone camera footage on national television for six minutes.

Such is the power of Prince.

This was a good call, doing this show. It was the first time I'd seen those '81 and '89 performances in anything better than 17th-generation VHS dub quality.

God, mid-00's SNL sucked, didn't it? I barely heard a chuckle during those sketches.

I think it was somewhat appropriate that Fallon hosted the special, simply because his obnoxious enthusiasm actually fit the situation, for once. It kind of illustrates how insincere his manic energy comes across most of the time. He acts the same way talking about Prince showing up to an SNL afterparty as he does to something, like, playing beer pong with Taylor Swift or some poo poo.

May lineup:

05.07: Brie Larson/Alicia Keys; Vintage ehhh kinda
05.14: Drake; Vintage yes
05.21: Fred Armisen/Courtney Barnett; Vintage ehhh kinda

The finale may be my fault, as I was wondering the other day if Fred would ever host. I'm sorry

The first and third weeks, there is hockey scheduled until 10:30, and then joining an SNL Vintage in-progress. Not likely to be a first-run, but rather a repeat (Richard Pryor and Tom Hanks '90 have been contingency eps in the past.)
