February 7, 2004 was a typical Saturday night. At 11:30pm, televisions all over the US switched to NBC to watch the popular show, Saturday Night Live. The guest host of the evening was Megan Mullally, but the star of the evening was Clay Aiken.
The preceding week, NBC teased their audience with lots of fun promos for the show and each one showed Clay just being his “funny” self. There was even one with a “pasty” that was a parody on the Super Bowl Halftime Show.
Most Clay Aiken fans knew the night was going to be great as soon as we saw Clay jump on stage dressed in a white tux and belting out “She’s So Hot!”
Clay was actively involved throughout the show. One of the highlights was a skit about getting into the Grammy Awards. The ill-fitted suit, the curly wig, the exaggerated accent and especially the “Aiken Wink” made Trey Aiken and the skit a highlight of the entire season.
Besides acting, Clay sang “Invisible” and “The Way.” When the show was over, it was fun to see all the cast hugging each other and congratulating Clay for the great job that he did.
The following is a video of some of the promo before the show
Enjoy!!
Did you watch this show??
Thank you for the pictures and the video. I love all the pictures and the video is funny. I did watch this SNL show. I wish they would re-run the whole again. Thank you CANN.
That SNL show was so much fun. I was able to watch the show but I would to see it again
I’m sorry to say, I didn’t! Had to work late that night! Wish there was some way to see the show! One of the few ones I missed. Love the pictures and video. Thank you CANN
Sorry you didn’t get to see the show. Hmmmm! I wonder if I can find the entire show!
I did watch the show and enjoyed it very much – it all centered around Clay and of course that was fine with me. I never saw the promos before. I loved reading Clay’s telling of what happened after the show in his LTS book! I have read that book more than once and still enjoy it. Thank you CANN.
