Sounds like someone who writes for the show is a fan!
I saw another Eagles mention on a Saturday Night Live re-run from 1977. The self-absorbed secretary of the skit was too busy talking about her date at the Eagles concert to notice that her boss was trying to drown himself in the office aquarium. Dark but funny nonetheless!
That's hilarious!
you better put it all behind you, baby, 'cause life goes on
you keep carrying that anger, it'll eat you up inside--
Another Eagles mention on an old rerun of Saturday Night Live from 1980:
Convict awaiting pardon: "Where's [California] Governor Jerry Brown?"
Lieutenant Governor: "Sorry, he's not available. He's on tour with the Eagles."
Do you think Linda Ronstadt realized how lucky she was??
OMG. Jackson Browne too! The icing on the man-cake.
I think the title of this thread should be changed to "Eagles mentions in TV shows."
Last night I was watching Auction Hunters (a show where two guys go around buying storage units) The two guys are in a unit they just bought and one guy puts on a welding helmet of sorts. The other guy picks up an album (couldn't make out which one) takes it out of the jacket, hits the other guy on the head, breaking the album and says, "Sorry Don Henley, but you shoudn't have left the Eagles". It was kinda funny... even though he clearly doesn't know the Eagles are back together!
Thanks for making this thread! It was fun going back and reading all the mentions on tv!
