Michael McDonald's UNBELIEVABLE Experience Watching ‘SCTV’ Sketch About Himself!! 😯

If you’ve ever seen the SCTV episode, you might remember Rick Moranis delivering a fantastic comedic portrayal of the blue-eyed soul singer Michael McDonald. He’s racing to the studio and while inside talking with the people in the studio, he abruptly runs into the recording room to add his signature background vocals. This happens a handful of times adding to the comedic timing. Allegedly, as the story goes, Michael McDonald stumbled upon this show while staying in a hotel room during its initial airing. He has recounted being heavily under the influence of drugs at the time, leading to a state of confusion and disturbance as he mistook what he saw for himself. This experience left him questioning whether he was undergoing a "psychotic break." Such anecdotes add to its enduring appeal.

Who’s here bc MMc was talking about it with Rick Beato? (BTW, super funny!)

Love that skit.
Mike appreciated it too -- once he sobered up, that is.

I loved SCTV. I wish that it was on a platform such as Hulu, Pluto...

Michael said in Beato interview that rick apologized to him many years after, Michael said to Rick that it's okay, it actually adds up to his mileage as artist.

He said he smoked a joint. Not heavily drugged.

[vancott]

He said he was high on weed. Not drugs

[LiveFreeAndBeHappy]

He smoked some really good weed. He wasn't 'heavily under the influence of drugs'. Sheesh. Get a story right, will you?

[cerisejones]

High on coke for days trippin in a hotel room lol😂😂😂

Watched it a couple days ago. Not high on potent marijuana though. Super funny regardless.

Michael was high after smoking pot with another member of the Doobie Bros band. Your depiction of him being on “narcotic drugs” is inaccurate and misplaced.
