Many years ago there was a skit put on starring Steve Martin as the
propieter of a hotel specially designed for rock stars...easy breaking
chairs, tearaway fixtures. The skit had Martin doing an ad for the hotel
and Keith Moon played the rock star. Together they ended up destroying
the room and being washed out of the bathroom on a wave of soap suds.
Does anyone remember what show this was on and if the tape is available?
Thanks in advance.

I'm reasonably sure it was from Saturday Night Live. What year? Before
late 1978, anyway.

This skit appeared on the "Rolling Stone 10th Anniversary Special", aired by
ABC in mid-1977. I don't think it's available on video.

I believe it also (and initially) aired on Steve Martin's first tv special,
which aired in 77 or 78. It was a mediocre 1-hour special, I believe for
NBC, entirely for Steve Martin. Most of it was filmed sketches.
