“Usually with Saturday Night Live, they call you, you get the call months in advance, like weeks and weeks and weeks in advance,” Grohl said in an Apple Music interview, according to ET Canada. “This time they called us on Tuesday. They were like, ‘Hey, do you want to play Saturday Night Live?’ And we were like, ‘Of course. When?’ They were like ‘Saturday.’ So we’re like, ‘Oh my God.’ It was such a rush just to pack up the gear, get on a plane, go to New York City. And then (Dave) Chappelle is the host. What better show? That’s the best possible show to be on."
