Was this before or after John was killed?

Before, I believe.

Right Scrod--it was 1977, or 1978, I believe, but definately before 1980

Sooner or later, we all will be there...

Yes, it was actually an ongoing joke. Lorne actually began the joke by showing the check on-air in 1976 I believe. Legend has it that the show that Lorne showed the check was when Paul was visiting John in NYC, and they were literally about to walk out the door and show up at the studio to shock everybody. I think Paul even mentioned this a little while back. He said they were REALLY gonna do it. But then didn't at the last minute.

What was the name of the movie that vh1 did that had that particular story in it? I think it was "the two of us".

Yeah, Scrod. I think that's the name of it. Not a bad film. Not great, but decent.

i thought "SNL" was an acronym for "Scrodfish:Notorious Libertine."

Yeah, you caught me, Dog. I calculated, and I'd easily have 98,254 posts by now, if it wasn't for these dreaded John Nash equilibrium thereoms I've been working on.

Or those hackers . . . if we hadn't been hacked, you'd easily have had about 115,302 posts by now . . .
