If your wondering, not only is this the 14th season, the late 80s had all the good cast members on this show like Dana carvey or Jon Lovits or Kevin Nealon, Dennis Miller and Nora Dunn. this aired on live on November 5th 1988 around 1158pm. it was the political episode right before the elcetion
i hated "What I Am" so much when it was out. someone needs to invent a time machine so i can go back and smack 15-yr-old-hair-band-loving me upside the head
a new video has been released showing the begging of this song and starts with the begging of Little miss s., end shows the ending of that too! it is called, "What I Am Live Performance", so as "Little Miss S. Live Performance".
@darrenhenderson3 go to the video of her singing what i am on the david letterman show. You can see the cameraman sets up this video and makes the comment. I have copied and pasted his comment for you. The mistake she makes clearly is at 1.37. At 3.15 she is just singing the song. Here is a copy of the cameramans comment from the david letterman show.
Look at the SNL 1988 vid of Edie. (She sees Paul at 1:37 on this vid)
@darrenhenderson3 there is no other show. Her wikipedia entry is wrong . This is the show where she met Paul Simon. At 1.39 marker she forgets her lines as she sees him for the first time behind the camera.
They are both still married and have 3 children together. I am a huge Paul Simon fan and am becoming a huge Edie Brickell fan. Any friend of Pauls is a friend of mine. She is very pretty and very talented obviously.
@consommenteur I did too. I'm 35 now... so why was I up that late? ;) That was one of the first cd's I ever owned. I still know the words of every song on it by heart.
her wikipedia biog says that it was when she was on SNL in december 1990, (not 1988 which this vid is apparently from) that the Paul Simon meeting happened. OMG- making pedantic comments on YouTube. Do I have too much time on my hands or what....?
@1970datsun510 I think this would be another instance where wikipedia is wrong, this song was near or at the top of the charts in 88. I don't think snl would have had her sing this 2 years later. Just a guess.
Edie Brickell est une de mes chanteuses préférées. Je l'écoute régulièrement depuis plus de vingt ans. Sa voix est magnifique. Je regrette que son groupe n'ait pas enregistré plus d'albums.

When you look at this you see the worst excesses of the mid-and-late-80's melting away - this is good 90's music before the 80's had ended.

This is 1990 they didn't start getting really popular till 1989 so they would not have been on SNL till then.

Paul Simon also appeared on the 12/8/1990 broadcast of SNL, so I think that's when they actually met, not during this one two years earlier.
Oh, well, whichever way it happened, this is still a great performance. Love them!

Bitch was in a time zone and thought it was 1968, that's why Paul Simon married her. A flower child that never shaves her box.... Paul scored !!

Edie is a great vocalist. It's too bad her popularity died, soon after this.
