POSTSCRIPT: My Attempt at Moonwalking, by Steve Martin

As a dancer, Michael Jackson was great. He was like Fred Astaire. This video, a parody of the "Billie Jean" video, was done for "The New Show," which was a prime-time NBC program that Lorne Michaels did in 1983-1984, when he wasn't producing "Saturday Night Live." This was the opening - it was the first piece on the first episode of the show.
