Towards the end of last night SNL show, Fred Armisen appeared on the darkly lit stage to speak about the impact of David Bowie, who died Jan. 10 after a battle with cancer.
Aemiusen said,
"When I was in high school and living in Long Island, I stayed up to see David Bowie play on Saturday Night Live, "And watching him was, for me, a life-changing experience. He had these back-up singers that were like choir singers from the future, and a toy poodle with a TV monitor in his mouth."
He continued, " David Bowie transformed whatever space he was in, whatever medium he was using, and that night for me, he transformed live television."
Armisen then introduced a clip that showed a portion of Bowie's "The Man Who Sold the World" performance on SNL in 1979.
