"Saturday Night Live” Pays Tribute to David Bowie With Fred Armisen and Vintage Clips

On last night’s episode of “Saturday Night Live”, former cast member Fred Armisen paid tribute to David Bowie, as well as the lasting impact Bowie’s 1979 “SNL” performance made on Armisen as a teenager. Now, “SNL” has made the performance available to view. Check out Armisen’s tribute and videos of “Boys Keep Swinging,” “TVC-15,” and “The Man Who Sold the World” below.

Armisen said, “David Bowie transformed whatever space he was in, whatever medium he was using, and that night for me, he transformed live television.”
