The performance marked Byrne’s first appearance on the show since 1989. Byrne quickly took the crowd back to the 80’s as he broke into Talking Heads classic Once In A Lifetime. The memorable performance featured a bare foot Byrne alongside his 11-member backing band.

Byrne also appeared in the sketch “Airport Sushi,” which featured a cameo by Jake Gyllenhaal.
