Supposedly Michael McDonald accidentally saw this in a hotel room when it aired the first time. He has said that he was extremely stoned, and got totally confused and disturbed by what he was seeing-really thought it was himself. Wondered if he was having a “psychotic break.” That makes it even more classic

Rick Moranis had a thing for parodying Micheal MacDonald on SCTV. I thought this were hilarious and they still are. They filmed this around and I. The iTV studios in Edmonton. They even have the lobby shots…they did some odd micheal McDonald sketches on the Gary Todd show. Fantastic stuff.

My girlfriend and I do this at karaoke. I start singing, while she remains in the audience but near enough the front. With a few seconds to spare, she rushes up, grabs the mic and sings "Such a long way to goooooooo..." Then, she hands me back the mic and takes her seat again.

Just heard Michael McDonald talking to Rick Beato about this incident where he was too stoned after sharing an extra strong doobie with Patrick Simmons, and accidentally saw this on the tv while lying down in his room. He was confused and thought it was him but couldn't remember doing it. Hilarious to hear him telling the tale.

80s*

In February 2000, there was a Michael McDonald tribute concert at the Shrine in LA. McDonald performing his solo material and many, many songs with the Doobie Brothers, Kenny Loggins, etc. etc. They played this clip on the video screens by way of introducing Christopher Cross, who came out and did "Ride Like the Wind." I hadn't seen the clip before, but seeing it and then immediately seeing the song live (with M McD coming out to sing those couple of lines) was an experience I'll never forget.

Michael Macdonald was the T-Pain of the 80's

Love Rick !! Canadians are funny !!

So much more than a backing vocalist. His talent was under-utilized when he was with Steely Dan. So wonderful to watch his career progress over the years.

Greatest lead, background vocalist!

I had to see this after he talked about it on the Rick Beato interview. Funny.

1:31 The “okay. See ya.” gets me every time. 😂

Michael McDonald is the best male vocalist of all time

This funny sketch is one of the greatest homages ever.

SCTV had such great musician guests (e.g. the Fishin' Musician), I remember at the time thinking it was great that they got Michael McDonald to do the skit. Up until the last moment when I realized it was Rick.

Massive respect for Michael McDonald...suchba unique voice. There are others with impressive backing vocal credits as well eg, Richard Page, Tom Kelly, Timothy B Schmit, Arnold McCullar, David Lesley (RIP), Valerie Carter (RIP), Katie Markowitz, Venetta Fields, Don Henley, Glen Frey, JD Souther, and list goes on. Taking nothing away from Michael who incidentally was being lined up by Toto as a potential lead singer.

Heard this song last night & remembered this LOL!!!

Brilliant!!!!

Yeomobe there! He gone be there

So true... I thought the same thing. He didn't have a big part in the song, but he made it great. This skit is hilarious! Good job 👏! 😂

Love it! I crack up every time!

When I was in Jr. High, the first day of choir class, our teacher let us know that the biggest achievement of his, was being MMD's teacher at that school. He held everyone in class to a high degree that we could never achieve. Now, I share mutual friends with Mike and have spent time with him, and he is one of the nicest people you could ever meet. Great Midwestern values that he still has to this day, and he is proud of where he came from & often visits.

too funny! And I say this as a HUGE Doobie Brothers fan (and Steely Dan for what it is worth)!

The CD of the Doobies greatest hits with Michael is an all time favorite.
