Paul McCartney made a surprise appearance at the close of Saturday Night Live's 51st season, performing three songs and an encore. He joined the band for 'Coming Up' during the cast goodnights, which extended past the usual cut-off time, allowing the cast to join the celebration.
Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith also made an appearance, first during McCartney's encore and earlier in the show during Will Ferrell's monologue. McCartney also participated in a sketch titled 'what it feels like talking to a mechanic,' where he portrayed a chief mechanic using nonsensical jargon to describe car troubles.
