Link won't work for me because I'm outside of the states. Any possibility of someone posting it on youtube or the like. I know it won't last long on there, but I'd love to see it.

You're not missing much. He has no speaking part. The joke is that the host keeps interrupting the show by singing some soul song, so there's no time to talk to him. At the end, the host says, "Lindsey, you've been here like twelve times and haven't said anything. What's up with that?"

He makes a God awful Lindsey Buckingham. Thanks for posting the photos.

Yeah, I thought this skit was stupid. I was all excited when I saw that someone was playing Lindsey on here & then it was a big let-down. He never said a word. The outfit was the same though as he wears at the Mac shows, but other than that, I was disappointed & oh, sorry, but Linds is better looking.

The only really funny part of this skit was Jason Sudeikis dancing in a track suit, I thought.

But, hey, at least the outfit, including the necklace, was spot-on.

There's a new SNL on tonight and this sketch is back, with "Lindsey" again. Maybe he will talk this time? Thinking no. He's in the same seat.

Haha...even his pose is spot on. Just forget about the face and hair.

It's a ridiculously irrelevant mess now, but I remember how great old-school SNL was...*sigh* I just wasn't cut out for this new generation I think. lol! I sound like a cantankerous old lady the way I complain about network television these days. I HATE reality TV shows and all these people on there with their 15 kids shoving them down my throat, and in my opinion there is no MTV. It's a joke what's happened to that channel.

People complain about the 80s, but so much greatness came from that era that was destroyed by all the newness of the late-90s to now. I truly believe that.

Anyway, this skit was really dumb but if I have to sit through that to feel good about someone as credible as Lindsey Buckingham being portrayed, I'll do it. The dude looks more like Nicholas Cage but atleast he's lanky, has the clothes, and the sitting-down position. Not like it's too complex, but Lindsey's a bit of an adonis and we all have to admit he can't be imitated well.

Yeah, I agree... I had just gotten home from drinking for the last 5 hours before I saw this last night and I still didnt find it even mildly entertaining... I actually was more disappointed that there was no LB interaction. I think they were just trying to get a completely random/obscure group of "panelists", and in that respect they were successful.

Please! I'd love to see it too. The photos look pretty funny.

Wow, I'm so happy for LB!!! Yay! See, he didn't even need to have a duet with Carrie Underwood to remain relevant. All he has to do is wear his rock-n-roll version of Mr. Roger's same-old ensemble, get on stage and blow everyone away, and he gets some strange-looking man (with very thin Donald-like hair) to impersonate him and he has basically accomplished everything he needs to prove he's a legend. Yay!!

Could you imagine if this heinous Lindsey became a regular? All the LB die-hards are going to be rocking the "I LOVED HIM BEFORE SNL" for sure.
