I would've been 7. If I was watching, I don't remember, but I love the fact that this happened. Late night television was so wild and fun -- even into the 90s before it went sour.

1:57 his arm motions when he says "loosen up a little bit" I died

This clip has the best audience laughter ever.

I was blessed to be there that night! A great experience for a 21 year old!

I recall that the first couple of years of SNL they would provide an address that you could mail your request for tickets. My friends and I always talked about going to NYC to see the show, but we never did.

Paul Simon is adorable.

Literally my favorite SNL moment of all time. Such a beutiful song.

What a legend. A musical icon with a sense of humor.

Paul Simon actually has a great sense of humor - even to this day. I was fortunate enough to see him in Tampa during his Farewell Concert - loved every minute of it.

I love these old classics mixed in .They are amazing they are all wonderful people Chevy crazy , Adam Sandler , Chris Farley, Dana Carvey , Mike Myers , ect. Tells you how old I am when I stated watching . This brought back happy memories thank you the cast ,crew , and guest appearances on SNL.

His delivery and timing was so good!!!

Damn this was hilarious! Paul Simon has great sense of humor and his delivery is spot on.

Like a bird over troubled... oh, never mind... I saw this back in the day and it's still funny today. Love Paul Simon.

THANK YOU for the first 5 seasons on DVD box sets. Bought them when they came out . HAPPY THANKSGIVING FOLKS !!!

SNL was a get together & watch it show before we went out.It was attitude adjustment hour. Beers & giggle sticks. This was a memorable SNL night because seeing Paul Simon in a turkey outfit was so so jaw dropping hilarious. I'm happy to see it again so I can hear all of what he is saying. Back then we were doubled up, tears on our face, can't catch our breath laughing. Thank you SNL for the happy times.

"Still crazy after all this years...". What a song.

Watching again in 2024 --- truly, still funny, after all these years......... Thanks, Paul!

Paul Simon's a good actor. He could have done that instead, if he wanted to.

god he made it so believable and now I’m sad

thank you for putting this up finally. HIGH-LARIOUS

The contrast between the turkey suit and that sweet, sweet voice… Comedy gold.

Hey look Paul Simon's a damn turkey

A beautiful memory Happy Thanksgiving to everybody

Watching in 2020. Still funny after all these years.

so you're telling me i've been alive for 17 years, and i haven't seen this video??? where have i been wasting my time?

Paul is the ultimate . The summit. The best all around. The funniest skit ever❤️💐Such a good sport!

I remember watching this-Absolutely hysterical!

Still brings tears of laughter to my eyes! A holiday tradition for me now.

An absolute classic ! It doesn't get much better than this.

This was during the time, where Lorne discusses with George Harrison about his $3,000 offer to the Beatles, for a Reunion on the show, that never came to fruition. That came just before this moment.

When I first heard about this sketch, It was from an article that said “interview with Paul Simon”. In that article was a transcript of the sketch, And I’m sitting there reading “do you want to be Mr. alienation, you can be Mr. alienation but I feel this is been a total disaster…”. And I thought to myself, “Paul Simon is a jerk. He can’t take a joke!” Then I saw the actual sketching realize they were just quoting the sketch and I laughed to myself.

Best SNL moment ever! Still funny! Back when you could watch TV!

What a legend

At the end art garfunkel shud have come along and offered to wear the outfit if they bumped paul off the show

I CAN'T FIT THROUGH THE DOOR -Paul Simon

this is it, this is the best snl clip

To this day, the undisputed best opening to a SNL show.

Best SNL moment!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE.🍗🍗🍗😁

I had this show on tape for many years. A lot of funny moments that night, but THIS was hilarious

This was FUNNY 😂 as hell and YES Paul Simon was joking around for the audience.He and Lorne Michaels were and still are friends to this day so he understands how the concept of the show works.God bless PAUL SIMON and LORNE MICHAELS.

"El Turkey Pasa"

Such great comedic timing

Great bit, and wasn't this the same episode in which Dan Ackroyd first performed "Basso-Matic?" My all-time favorite bit from SN. ("Mmmm. That's great bass."" Two classics in one episode. It just doesn't get any better than that.

This is some top-notch deadpan comedy

Just think it was a year earlier in that same Studio he sang still crazy after all these years only minus the turkey costume
