Tonight Show - Spit Takes and Space Rock

Each of these is like half a video so the two of them together warrant a post.

First up is the Point Pleasant Police Department sketch. Is there a more threadbare conceit for a comedy sketch anywhere? I don't know of one. But the "writer's strike" clip is a good wink to the audience that they know that we know.



Oh, hey look who it is, it's Coldplay! Life on Mars.



Today I learned that the piano player on the original Bowie version was none other than Rick Wakeman. Nice.

Apparently Coldplay once asked David Bowie if he would sing on one of their songs. Bowie turned them down saying the song wasn't very good.
