Alec’s look of true shock and delight was priceless. And McCartney swatting him to keep the sketch going was the cherry on top.

When you only have one line in the skit but you still get tons of laughs and applause throughout. Martin Short is so good.

Everyone's big until a Beatle walks in.

Martin Short is priceless in this...smiles for the camera..walks away. The audience goes nuts!😁😊😊😊🥰

“I’m sorry Maya I did what I could” *Walks away* LOLLLL

When Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin are star struck, you know you’re a star.

I think they were told that Paul Simon was going to show up at the end, but they snuck in Sir Paul, as a surprise. Baldwin’s and Short’s reactions were priceless.

I’ve never seen Alec Baldwin speechless. I think he was genuinely star struck. That was cool!

All martin short has to do is walk on stage, and I’m instantly laughing, and filled with joy. His energy is completely unmatched.

I love how Martin Short sticks his hand in the scotch glasses. That stole the sketch.

McCartney only has to stand there and steal the scene with pure awesomeness.

fifty years later and if your a Beatle you're still that notch above all other stars

Steve martin is one of the only people alive who can pull off such a good mixture of cleverness and slapstick.

[Paul McCartney appears] Steve: It IS Paul Simon!

Judging by Alec's genuine shock, I don't think Paul McCartney was in this skit at the dress rehearsal hahaha

Paul walk in and even Baldwin blushes❤ Paul is so adorable with the improv he was gonna sing at any moment even started getting into the groove..

4:27 Alec’s facial expression change is so evident he’s amazed. Steve knew it. Alec is with the crowd.

Martin Short walking in is like Spongebob mopping the floor.

Alec Baldwin's face when Sir Paul arrives... Priceless!

There's Paul McCartney and then there's everybody else. 😁

00:59 that look gets me 😂 Martin Short is such a brilliant performer!

Alec Baldwin fangirling over Paul is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen

Sir Paul astounds everyone. Watch Sir Paul w James Corden as he visits his home in Liverpool. Tears and laughter. I can’t imagine anyone not liking Sir Paul! I was 14 yo when the Beatles played at Ed Sullivan show. My twin sister, everyone at school screamed and sang their songs all the time! They “saved” America. JFK had been assassinated Nov 22, 1963. We were in deep mourning and impossible grief. LBJ sent hundreds of thousands of our neighbors to Vietnam. All seemed lost. THEN the Beatles arrived in February 1964. The absolute joy they brought revived our country! They led us out of a dark pit into Good day sunshine!

To see the jaw drop on Alec and Steve martins Face you know they were starstruck themself by Paul , being a Beatle , and Paul Mccartney just steals the show. the whole skit was great

I remember when this aired! Paul's entrance was definitely a surprise. I actually clapped when he walked in.

2:36 that little detail of Marty sticking his hands in the glasses is genius

It was great how Steve was able to still put the glass on the table while falling. 3:36

I’m 100% sure by the double take look and pause on Steve Martin’s face that none of them were expecting Martin Short. Watch their faces, brilliant.

Wow that is the first time I have actually witnessed a full, blown jaw drop. Outstanding

I gotta say, Steve Martin's voice is sooooo smooth. I've seen many of his films, but all of them dubbed, and while his usual voice actor is very talented, his actual voice is impossible to mimic. Love that guy.

"Still sad."OMG! Those two guys will enter the pearly gates together. 👌 Steve and Marty.

I love when Marty short puts his fingers into the glasses then looks pointedly at Steve Martin to see if he got him to break

“I was in Schwetty Balls!” Stomp, stomp! LMAO!

Meanwhile, Paul Simon is still waiting in the wings to be introduced for his cameo.

Paul is still a heart-stopper 😍

”Still sad.” comic gold!

I could be imagining it but it seems at 4:41 Alec is trying to keep from crying. Which endears him more. Cute moment of what seems genuine surprise.

I still can't believe they got Paul Simon for that sketch!

Martin Short and Steve Martin must be protected at all costs

Steve has looked the same for 30 years

Was surprise that Paul Mccartney appeared? Baldwins almost crying at 04:39

I love how Paul does his signature bass playing movement at 4:59 🤣

I'm blown away by how good that was. Not just big celebrities and cute quips, but fantastic timing and hilarious shocks.

4:49 Paul looks at the audience and they immediately stop clapping, they went on too long and Pauls face says it all. love it

Alec had no clue Paul McCartney was going to be on. Loved it!!!

It's so cute how Paul said, "Yeah!" after Martin said, "Here we are...!" (just the three of us!) 🥰

Oh, Man, this is gold quality comedy. Martin Short killed with just a smile.

Marty's smile and abrupt exit.... "Sad" 0:50

Alec Baldwin, Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Paul McCartney in one sketch. Jesus how wild and great is this.

3:37. Not sure how he managed to put the glass down while falling :D

"....sad." --Comic timing perfection😂😂😂

Obviously Paul is amazing, but Martin Short is so adorable in this 😂

Martin short forever a sidekick of Steve. 😭😂😂. These two are inseparable

I love how they surprise Alec with Paul McCartney!! so adorable! I didn't realise it happened more than once, ha ha, too nice

Martin Short may be the most purely lovable person in the world

This will always and forever be my absolute favorite SNL moment of all time.

You think you are famous, then Paul McCartney walks in the room.

4:47 yeah I'm pretty sure Alec just walked off in shock there.

Steve Martin proving that he is still a comic genius.

No one gets a reaction like McCartney. He's a living legend. It's sure gonna hurt when we lose him.

All legends. Paul the biggest legend of course 🙌

Beautiful Baldwin reaction, he was emotional! Admirable men. All of them.

Just seeing Sir Paul McCartney is surely amazing.

Alec’s jaw drop was priceless, when Paul walked in. He was star struck 😅

2:09 that little music part reminds me of The Batman (serie), sounds like the part of the soundtrack.

My God, what a perfect clip from start to finish! The four legends and the stellar comedy were SO good, you almost forget that Bill Hader and Maya Rudolph were in the skit at the start.

One time when I was an Uber driver, I drove some friends from Colorado who had flown into LA for the Paul McCartney concert at Dodgers Stadium. We chatted and got along well and as I pulled into the Stadium’s parking lot, they told me that 1 of their friends couldn’t make it and asked if I wanted her ticket. I’ve had a permanent smile on my face ever since.

Comedy genius. These guys are the best. Look on Alec’s face was priceless.

McCartney turned that platinum lounge diamond.

you want to see a man meeting one of his heroes. look at Alec in this sketch

OMGSH!We ( over 60 years old) had the best of everything!!❤😂

Martin Short putting his whole ass fingers in those glasses has me 🤣🤣

Alec Baldwin is all of us fangirling over Macca! 😭🥰😭

Wonder how it feels to be the center of attention,with people just actually crying tears just by seeing you for the last 60 years

You can tell Martin and Steve have been friends for a long time by how they giggle and laugh being around each other. Awesome.

If you need someone to shine in a room of stars, then McCartney is Sirius A

Remember when Paul McCartney was in a sketch with Chris Farley? That was awesome.

S Martin and Martin S. Two bookends that belong together.

Paul is at the pinnacle of the star heap.

“I tried to kill you and thats so wrong today.”

2:35: That's quite a response for someone they saw earlier in the sketch.

i loved it when paul said "yeah!" so cheerfully :D

Macca steals the show, naturally🥰

Imagine always being the biggest star in the room, no matter who else is there.

Steve Martin is always received with sooo much cheer and applause 😍

It looked like they weren't expecting Sir Paul.

Martin Shorts' face makes me laugh. God, he's funny.

Champagne is, literally, the champagne of champagne.

To be Sir Paul is to be Sir Paul.

I’m in love with Martin Short!! True confession

Everybody talks about Alec Baldwin but you could tell Steve Martin was also shocked but was able to contain himself after a quick chuckle towards Martin Short. No wonder that man is an Oscar host legend!!!!

Morgan Freeman narrating: The way I heard it, to this day Paul Simon is still in the wings at Studio 8H waiting for his cue

Everyone loses their minds when Sir Paul makes an entrance (as they should).

Love the poison in the ring. Real old school

I love that Martin Short put his fingers in the drinks lol. So dumb, but it got me

Martin Short is Spongebob mopping the stage after Squidward's talent show.

"Still sad" had me crying

It's Paul McCartney's World, we are just lucky to be living in it.

Martin Short is always wonderful.
