April 20, 1976 –
George Harrison, who is good friends with Eric Idle, joined Monty Python on stage at the comedy troupe’s show at New York’s City Center, on this date. Dressed as a Canadian Mountie, Harrison joins the chorus for The Lumberjack Song. No mention is made of Harrison’s appearance, and few in the audience recognize him.
The next night, Harry Nilsson shows up to perform the same feat, but with disastrous results, as he fell into the audience and broke his arm.
