I want the boys to do a skit in SNL too! Something involved an Irish pub perhaps....
Or better yet, a remake of the Bruce Dickenson/cowbell skit....Good ol' Bruce will be making Larry play the cowbell and him and Bono duke it out--now I don't care who you are, THAT'S funny!
*imagine Larry playing the cowbell---he'd be ticked*

Maybe Bono could play the part of Bruce Dickenson and a cast member could imitate Bono--they could go nuts with that! Having him running around the studio, climbing the rafters and biting and whatnot...

Would'nt it be keen if U2 hosted as well as being the musical guests on SNL??? I would DIE!!! I jotted it on my calendar Im definately going to record it I got the 2000 episode...
One question? I was SOO excited (jumping up and down) in 2000
I can't recall if they played 2 songs I know beautiful day was the only one..and if there was another one I must have passed out
cause that is the only one I recorded...Anyone know???

This is weird. Did you know that they asked Bono if he would do the Mango skit but he refused?

I thought the exact same thing back then...in fact maybe I even discussed it here with you(?). No, I don't think there was ever any official "plan" to have Bono do this...which he refused. It was just something we all thought would've been cool/hilarious if it happened. The musical performance was great, but it was slightly disappointing that Bono didn't make a cameo in a skit. Mick Jagger is always a riot when he does it (impersonating Keith Richards or mocking himself with Jimmy Fallon playing his reflection in the mirrior).

! Thanks for the info, dreaming! My first guess was right. Thank goodness it's a Sat night, since I don't usually get up early on Sunday.
The question is whether to stay the whole time between what ever time arrival time is before 11:35PM in order to catch them going in, then returning by 1AM to {hopefully} catch them going out. That's what i did [only earlier in the evening when Bono was at Christie's]. Well, i sure hope the day's flow allows me the opportunity to go (another beg to ***The Universe***).Lisa
hopefully you'll get a chance to see them in Florida. I seen them several times but never lucky enought to see them up close, as i have seen every other favorite band of mine previous to U2.

I'm going with youtwohearts!! I was there last week for the carson daly show to see Duran Duran. The problem is you're inside the building so without tickets I don't know how far we'd get. Also, there are atleast 2 entrances and employees claimed there's an exit in the basement but I don't know for sure. The chances of us seeing anything are not promising.

I do not see any information about this on the SNL site at NBC.

When I asked for confirmation (which hasn't come yet), I also asked about tickets but didn't get an answer. What I have heard is that tickets for SNL go out at the beginning of the season and you have no choice over what show you get to see, they just randomly send out tickets. If I do hear back from the NBC press office, I will definitely ask about the tickets again.
One thing I can suggest is to listen to NYC radio stations, they might get passes. I know KROQ in LA gives away tickets to "Tonight Show" and other talk show tapings when their bands are performing.
