The Early Years of SNL: S05E07 Martin Sheen/David Bowie (12/15/79)
Innovative. Iconic. Legendary.
These are just a few words to describe the one and only David Bowie. And all could be used to describe any one of his musical performances on his very first appearance on SNL.
Bowie helps ring out the 70s as the musical guest alongside host, Martin Sheen. His three songs are not only the highlight of this episode but all of season five. So much so, it is easy to forget that Saturday Night Live did actual comedy this episode.
And while the comedy is up and down – ranging from the fun to the bizarre to the just long and boring – there are still some nuggets in there worthy of "best bits."
This is a MUST-SEE episode from the original era of SNL.
Speaking of "must-see" please check out this car ad from 1979 and tell us if this is Nick Nolte or not.
