Saw Paul & Ringo together on stage recently on The Nightly News last night.

On the news today at noon a male reporter and a female meteorologist were talking after he had said that Paul was working on yet another project. She said, "Well, can we really get enough of The Beatles?" He said, "The answer is...No!"
-
On Beat Shazam last night, the category was Going Solo. The song was Got My Mind Set On You by George. I think 2 out of the 3 couples got it right. The 3rd couple thought it was Band On The Run!
-
On Jeopardy the other night (teen championship) the category was Whose hit album? For $800, Released in 1969 âAbbey Roadâ. The boy contestant got it right: Who are the Beatles?

Aug. 1st, Dana Carvey was on Lights Out With David Spade. They were talking about the anniversary of Woodstock. Dana says, Ironically, the biggest band in the world didnât play Woodstock and they were...The Beatles! They were asked. In those days they werenât that wealthy. They drove there. And Paul McCartney told me this. (Dana goes into a bit doing all the Beatles voices) They got lost and Ringo was driving. âI donât know which way to go boys!â And Paul was in the back going âIt should be a left!â And John was like âNo, I think itâs a right! You gotta go over the hill with the hippies and yuppies urinating in the bushes you know.â  (As Paul) âAnd we never found the place and we went to a seafood place and John said Iâll have the walrus!â

On Mr. Mercedes Sept. 17th, this guy is watching a video of a famous author (played by Bruce Dern) who he had shot and killed during a botched robbery. The author is saying âYou know, you shoot Joe Blow the plumber, nothing. Thatâs one thing. But then you kill John Lennon, thatâs a whole ânother thing.â

On the special âStephen King: Master Of Horrorâ someone said âStephen is the literary equivalent of The Beatles.â

On Saturday Night Live last night, Chance the Rapper is playing a guy who is normally a commentator for basketball, but someone is sick, so he is pressed into service for a video gaming competition called League of Legends. He clearly has no clue what is going on! One of the other commentators says to him, "Walk us through that last match." He says, "In a nutshell, there are 10 nerdy dudes sittin' down at computers with headsets on, while 20,000 people scream like they were watching The Beatles."
It was such a funny sketch!

Watch the video (E-Sports Reporter) here:

Harry Styles hosted and was the musical guest on SNL last night. In his monologue he said, "I was in a boy band called One Direction. Wouldn't it be crazy if they were here? (They're not) Niall, Liam, Louie...and uh...Ringo! Yeah, that's it!"

On SEAL Team tonight they were on an op in Paris, doing surveillance on a building across the street, and were describing the people they saw. The one guy described an older woman as a hippie. Later, his teammate said "Grandma's a Bohemian, by the way. Hippies are strictly American." The first guy replies "Right. John Lennon was strictly American."

Alan Cumming was on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon telling a story about how he owns this bar in NYC and how Emma Stone and Billy Jean King had been to Paul's concert that night. They showed up at the bar with Paul in tow! Alan was going to play the piano and asked Paul if he wanted to sing something. Paul said "I just sang for 3 hours at Barclay's!" But then he accompanied them singing on the harmonica (probably his tiny one!)
Here, I found the video link:

This was not the Beatles per se, but Paul was a Beatle! On two shows recently they played his song Wonderful Christmastime: Beat Shazam and mixed-ish.
