Video: 'The Beatles in the 70's part 3' (May 18, 1980 at 4:45)

(Sunday, May 18, 1980, 4:30-6:00 a.m. BST) — Former Beatle Paul McCartney and his wife, Linda, were interviewed by Don Novello (as the character Father Guido Sarducci) early this morning via satellite from outside their MPL Soho offices in Soho Square, London, for the 11:30 p.m. (May 17, 1980) live broadcast of NBC’s Saturday Night Live out of New York City.

It was only a few months after McCartney’s drug bust in Japan, the the Father wanted to talk about that, rather than his new single “Coming Up.”
