Or is it the other way around? This weekend’s episode was more like Saturday Night Live with your host Paul McCartney and comedy guest, Paul Rudd. Fair enough. Dude was a Beatle. (“Fair enough. Dude was a Beatle.” – Paul McCartney’s tombstone.) Four songs seems like a lot of songs, but as I have already pointed out, dude was a Beatle, and also he was a good sport about the whole thing. Lord knows, HE CAN AFFORD TO BE. But lots of people can afford to be good sports and are not good sports, and he was a good sport, so it’s worth noting, I guess. Paul McCartney in the opening monologue, Paul McCartney in the Digital Short, Paul McCartney on Weekend Update. If anything he was TOO good of a sport. Ease up, Paul McCartney. Anyway, Paul McCartney aside, it was kind of a disappointing episode, mostly just because Paul Rudd is so winning and charming and funny that he should handily make for the best episode of the season. Oh, it was much better than, say, Mrs. Ryan Reynolds or Robert De Niro, obviously, but it wasn’t a Zach Galifianakis or even a Charles Barkley. Oh well.

Anyway:

Last night, Stephen Colbert gave Sir Paul McCartney the same treatment he gives our nation’s unwitting congresspeople in a new, probably short-lived segment called “Better Know A Beatle.” McCartney, or “The Fightin’ Walrus,” seemed legitimately befuddled by Stephen’s character, who, after finding out that Sir Paul had never seen his show, claimed to have never heard any Beatle’s songs. And then Paul accused the Dalai Lama of potential cannibalism, and then they sang together, proving Stephen Colbert can pretty much get away with anything:
