'Saturday Night Live' Honors Prince With Tribute Show 'Goodnight Sweet Prince': Watch
Last night (April 23), Saturday Night Live dedicated a full episode to the musical performances and memories that Prince delivered and created on the show throughout the last 40 years. As one could expect, older and somewhat grainy footage of Prince performing musical guest-spots in 1981, 1989 and 2014 were coupled with some classic skits that satirized the singer's persona. Jimmy Fallon kicked the night off with the opening monologue, albeit in an empty Studio 8H, and fought back emotion while introducing the program.
He said: "Other people may have been on the show more times or performed more frequently, but there was always something so different about a Prince performance. It was special, it was an event, it was Prince." Watch the clip above.
