Default Re: Eagles!

Paul Shaffer became a band member for NBC's popular Saturday Night television program from 1975 to 1980, though briefly leaving the series in 1977. Though Shaffer was at the piano and appeared to actually be directing the band's actions, Howard Shore was credited as musical director on SNL during the 1975-1980 time frame. Shaffer eventually made regular appearances in the show's skits. He's been on Letterman show since 1982.

GE SMith was band leader after Paul I believe and he was married to Gilda Radner for a couple of years in the early 80's.
