  • When Desi Arnaz was introduced as the guest host for this episode of SNL, he got maybe the longest standing ovation in the history of that show. It brought tears to my eyes.

  • Originally telecast on February 21, 1976 (and I saw it then!). Desi's closing number was, of course,"Babalu", with everyone doing a wild conga around Studio 8-H- right into the closing credits...

see all

  • By god, he still had it! Charming and nostalgic.

    By the way..."Babaloo" is one of several saints

    in the Cuban religion of Santeria (a black offshoot

    of Catholicism). The Cubans in Cuba are wholly

    unaware of the Ricky Ricardo, Babalu phenomenon.

    However, when they're shown an episode or two

    they think it's hysterical. Especially when Ricky gets

    mad!

  • I used to have the VHS tape but not anymore. I really like the one Desi Arnaz says goodnight everybody. Thanks for downloading a SNL clip of Desi Arnaz. He was very talent.

  • MAN! HOW DID I FORGET HOW GREAT HE WAS? SHAME ON ME....AND OH BY THE WAY 2012 PEOPLE OF TODAY, THIS IS ENTERTAINMENT, THIS IS TALENT AND THIS IS DEFINITELY SEXY!!

    Thank you so much for posting this. Wish I could find the Babalu one from this episode

    And oh ya, that is Desi jr playing conga's behind him, looking just like him. And in the movie Mambo Kings with Anotonio Bandaras and Antonio Bandaras, Desi jr plays his father. Check it out.

  • He still had the talent in those days!

  • @bikerjon1 I think the drummer is Desi Arnaz, Jr.

  • The shirts being worn by the drummer and band. What are those shirts/style called. please, anyone, ive been searching all over? thanks

  • @sedona74 oh yeah

  • When he called out the start of "BABALU!" I felt my hair stand up. It was a hell of a performance, and I could understand how Desi was a legend. It was electric.

  • Still sexy.

  • HE CAN STILL SWING THOSE HIPS BACK THEN couldnt he ;) <3
