Most of us were probably hoping that The Rolling Stones would make a pit stop at Rockefeller Center in between their anniversary concerts. But Saturday Night Live has instead booked another UK legend to play its Christmas episode on December 15th: Sir Paul McCartney. Martin Short will serve as host that night.
McCartney last appeared on the show in December 2010, where he performed five songs and appeared in several sketches. Watch his performance of “Jet” plus a classic clip featuring him and Chris Farley below.
