Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t get why being the musical guest on "Saturday Night Live" is such a big deal. Honestly, the sound is traditionally pretty terrible, and since it’s live you can’t even do anything fun like swear or drink on stage. But I guess there are a lot of people watching, so there’s that.
With being a guest already being kind of a racket — I mean, you show up and just do their job for them, basically — I’m surprised someone would want to take on both guest host and musical guest, but that’s just me, apparently.
Over the years, some of pop culture’s biggest stars have taken on the double dare challenge at SNL, but this person was the first brave soul to give it a go. Who was it?
