saturday night live albert goldman skit
Surly09
why albert goldman wrote his john lennon book: he was playing trombone with the
beatles and they fired him.
i must've seen this skit over ten years ago meaning i was no older than 10 at
the time. does anyone remember this skit? has anyone seen it? i remember the
guy playing albert goldman was at a press conference or something to explain
why he wrote such a mean-spirited book. and then they showed in a black and
white flash back exactly what happened. i think john lovitz played ringo.
it was a funny skit but i remember it only vaguely. i've been watching comedy
central reruns hoping they'll rerun it but i haven't seen it yet. does anyone
have any idea what i'm talking about? am i losing my mind here?

Your memory of the skit is correct. The idea was that Goldman (played by the
late Phil Hartman) was a crummy trombone player in the Beatles, and when John
fired him he vowed revenge. So years later he wrote his book to avenge
himself. Elvis also turned up in the skit at the end. That particular episode
was hosted by Matthew Broderick, who played John. Dana Carvey was Paul, and I
don't remember who played George and Elvis.
David McConnell
George was played by Dennis Miller and Elvis was Kevin Nealon. This episode
was a 1988 episode.
CynLennin
to lose the trombone player- and he swears revenge against Elvis and John.
Man...I need to see that episode again...

October 15, 1988. Matthew Broderick hosted, musical guest was the
Sugarcubes (where are they these days?). Broderick was Lennon,
and the late Phil Hartman was Albert Goldman.

It hasn't aired on Comedy Central since December, 1997. Given their current
rate, expect a replay in early September.

The Sugarcubes broke up, but their lead singer Bjork has a solo career,
say was the same SNL that had the infamous penis skit?

I haven't seen that one, but I do remember another SNL skit from the Eddie
Murphy days, in which Eddie's character claimed to be the fifth Beatle.
He played the "original" versions of the Beatles' recordings, which included
a prominent saxophone part which was later "wiped out" or some such.

Five Beatles! John, Paul, George, Ringo, and Albert Goldman!" They
perform "I Saw Her Standing There" in which Albert performs a cheezy
trombone solo. After the show, while Albert is away,they start
discussing how it's not working out with Albert. Elvis shows up ( he's
filming two movies across the street) and tells them they should lose
the trombone player. John and Elvis eventually kick Albert out of the
band and he vows revenge on both of them, but he adds, "maybe I'll wait
until you're dead because I'm a little afraid of both of you right now."

I haven't seen either of those, but I have seen one where Jon Lovitz was
playing Ringo, and he was being interviewed by some corny celeb show. Just a
short little thing - not terribly funny - but neither was the rest of that
episode, come to think of it.

Carter negotiating a settlement between John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Mick
Jagger played Paul and John Belushi played John.
One of the recurring skits on Fridays was a temp worker in unusual jobs
where he proved to be completely incompetent. Once he filled in for John in
a Beatles reunions (this was before 1980), he couldn't play the guitar,
couldn't sing, and ended up hitting on Linda McCartney.

Beatle oriented moments on SNL.
In no particular order:
1) Lorne Michaels (in a 1976 or 1977 show I believe) offering the Beatles the
whopping sum of $3000 to reunite on the show. (on a future show he upped it to
about $3750)
2) At a Beatle auction, Paul's toothbrush goes for about $1 million dollars,
but when they put Ringo up for auction (yep, a real live Beatle for sale!) no
one seems interested. Ringo plays himself.
3) Father Guido Sarducci serenades a Beatle medley outside Paul McCartney's
window (through a megaphone) in order to wake him up so he can promote his new
single and video. ("Coming Up") Sarducci jokes with Paul about his Japanese
marijuana bust.
4) Eddie Murphy (being interviewed by a talk show host played by Joe Piscopo)
plays a saxophonist named Clarence who claims he wrote all the early Beatles
songs. ("Paul still uses Afro-sheen because of me!")
These are my favorites. Anyone else know of any other Beatle related SNL skits
that they like?

Chris Farley's interview with McCartney a few years ago was pretty
amusing. Someone else will have to describe it, as I don't remember
many of the details, but I think Farley asked Paul if he remembered
the "and in the end.." quote from Abbey Road, and then asked him
whether it was true or not when he said yes.

Another question Chris asked Paul:

Chris: You weren't really dead, were you?
Paul: No, I wasn't really dead.
There was in that same show Paul and Linda contributing to Adam Sandler's song,

Anyone ever see Eric Idle's rendition of "Here Comes the Sun"? It's hilarious.
He played a nice, sweet, intro on acoustic guitar, then SHOUTED out the chorus
in a voice that would make the Gumbys wince. At the end of the show, he got
the whole cast to do it.

I can't remember if I mentioned the backwards masking in one of the early
Beatles hits, where they apparently talk about kicking the sax player out of
the group.

Another favorite of mine, which supposedly John thought was funny, too, was
from 1980, when Malcolm McDowell guest-hosted, and during the Weekend Update
segment, he played John, baking bread, being interviewed, while Denny Dillon (I
think last seen on HBO's "Dream On") played Yoko.

washed-up British pop singer. It was a recurring role. I forgot the name of
the character, but I think the first name was Derek. Anyway, in one skit he's
sunk so low that he's re- recording "Choppin' Broccoli," one of his old hits,
as the jingle for Birdseye frozen foods. And he's asked one of his old
friends-- Ringo, played by Jon Lovitz-- to help out on drums.

and steal all of his good ideas." I loved it!

Chris Farley was pretending to be the flustered host of a talk show. Chris would
ask really dumb questions and say dumb things - the kind of things you would say if
you met your hero and were completely awestruck and nervous. The whole idea was
that an interviewer is someone who is supposed to keep an interesting comversation
going, and this guy can only get one word answers out of his subjects.
I can't remember exactly, but he would say "Uhhh, hey Paul, uh, remember the
Beatles?"
Paul: " yeah?"
Chris: "uhhh, they were really cool!"
Paul: "yeah!"
Mcgbjk
Great interview! As I recall, it went more like this:
C: Remember when you were in the Beatles?
P: Yes Chris
C: (Pause) That was awesome!
C: Remember when you were supposed to be dead and there were like clues in the
songs and stuff?
P: Yes Chris
C: That was a hoax, right?
P: Yes Chris. I'm not really dead
Then he asked a question about the pot bust, and Paul said something about not
wanting to remember that, and Chris started hitting his head and saying,
"Stupid Stupid Stupid!" Paul said, "That's OK Chris, people ask me about that
all the time. As a matter of fact, Marie Shriver (?) asked me about that the
other day"
C: Did you know she was married to Arnold Schwarzenegger?
P: Yes Chris
C: Did you ever see Terminator?
P: No Chris
C: Oh, you should. It was awesome!

That was a really good episode. If I recall correctly, Paul Simon opened up the
show singing "Still Crazy After All These Years" and then stopping, apologizing,
and complaining to Lorne Michaels that it wasn't working.
That's when we see George backstage. Michaels is explaining to him that the
he only got the $3000 if all the Beatles appeared therefore he was only getting
paid $750.00. I think George responded by saying that it was kind of "chintzy".

The Rutles were created for "Rutland Weekend Television", a British comedy
series
probably on "London Weekend Television" but that would be an assumption.
The first appearance of the Rutles on SNL was as a film clip taken from RWT
if I
recall correctly.
Later, Stig (Neil Inness) would make a guest shot on an Eric Idle hosted
episode
when he performed Cheese and Onions on the piano.

Dana Carvey (I think it was him) had a short-lived show a couple of years ago.
Like SNL is now, some of the skits were funny, and the rest were just awful.
Anyway, he did one thing about the Beatles Anthology. He played Paul, and there
was also a George and a Ringo. I think he did a great Paul, complete with hand
motions, and "John was going like this, ya know, and I was going like this, ya
know". 'George' told a story about how he once wrote a song about a squid,
and John and Paul said they wouldn't put a song about a mollusk on a Beatles
album, but then they let Ringo have Octopus's Garden on Abbey Road, and this is
the kind of CRAP he had to put up with! It was funny.

Oh, that was great! I can remember a few parts.
Chris: Remember when everyone thought you were dead?
Paul: yes
Chris: That was a hoax, right?
Paul: Yeah, I wasn't really dead.
I think then Chris starts hitting himself in the head for asking such a stupid
question, and Paul has to calm him down and reassure him that he's doing a good
job.
Chris: Remember when you made that album Abbey Road?
Paul: Yes, I remember that.
Chris: Okay, you know that song "The End" where you sing "and in the end the
love you take is equal to the love you make", remember that?
Paul: yes
Chris: Is that true???
Paul: Uh, yeah, I believe that what you give is what you get.
Then Chris kinda gasps and starts freaking out, like "oh my gosh, is this guy
cool or what?!"
He was pretty much acting like a die-hard Beatle fan trying to carry out an
interview with Paul, but he's so excited and nervous that he's making a
complete idiot of himself.

Wasn't one of the lines from "George" something about killing a guy, and

The "Chris Farley" show was a running bit on SNL; he interviewed big stars
(the guest stars) and asked stupid questions, and everything eventually
spiralled back to a point where they'd end up talking about the Terminator
movies. Farley's shiny-eyed "Awesome," response to Paul's affirmation of
the "love you take" theory was really sweet . . .

Well, apparently George talked them out of the money ;-), 'cause when Paul
made his appearance, the opening segment featured a clip of Lorne Michaels
telling him, "Well, I just assumed that George would have given you the
money," "No, I never heard from George . . . "

At least that's what he should have said. :-)
It seems every time anyone quotes the song they say "coo coo ca choo"
instead of "goo goo ga joob" and SNL has gotten it wrong several
times. As a friend of Paul Simon's, Lorne Michaels should know the
difference!

Well, considering the shows Ringo's done, I think only <gag> Regis & Kathie

George has never appeared on either of these. In fact, with the exception of
the two aforementioned shows, I can't think of any others that George has done.
When he's promoted shows, he's done ones only on morning shows such as Today &
Good Morning America, which I suppose can then be added to the list.

Ringo was on "TFI Friday" recently, promoting his album among other things.
Paul has also been on, and there were hints on the show that George will
appear in the next series.

The story exists, but is an urban legend. The closest it comes to reality
was when John and Paul were at the Dakota watching SNL, and Lorne Michaels
made "the offer." They called a cab to take them to the studio, then decided
against going. See Lennon's "Playboy" interview for complete details.

That was "Paul". I think they were making fun of something Ringo said on the
Anthology about having salmon for the first time after they got famous, or
something like that.
"Paul" was talking about how when they first went to America, and he got to
have a Snickers bar for the first time, and there was "all these bloody peanuts
in there!". And then he showed it to John, and he said something like "what are
ya daft? It says on the wrapper 'packed with peanuts!'"

this is extremely funny stuff! i managed to see only a bit one dana carvey
beatles sketch. can someone post transcriptions of all the sketches he did?
spark...@rocketmail.com
I saw Dana Carvey on some late night show a while after the Anthologies came
out. He was saying what a big Beatle fan he was, and was talking about how
the lyrics to "Yesterday" were originally about "scrambled eggs." Then he
picked up his guitar and sang parts of it, and he sounded a whole lot like
Paul! He did a good job of sounding like John, too! Anyway, just thought it
was pretty neat.
Peace,

I've heard about this skit but have yet to see it. It doesn't seem to be on Youtube.
There's a fair amount of Goldman-related stuff up there, though. There's an interesting series of videos titled "Goldman: The Making of a Bestseller." There's a video titled "Liverpool vs. Goldman," which features a Scottish guy insisting that Goldman had somehow killed Lennon a second time.
I don't know about the hysteria that accompanied Goldnan's book. Just what did he allege that is so untrue or horrible? Lennon's violence and drug use have been widely acknowledged. Yoko herself admitted a few years ago that Lennon had bisexual tendencies.
I don't think anything Goldman wrote in his Lennon bio is cause for hysteria or outbursts of profanity.
