Harry on SNL

Harry Styles has just appeared on Saturday Night Life with Jimmy Fallon. And it safe to say that he smashed the show! Talented, funny, versatile.

Jimmy Fallon started the programme with David Bowie's "Let's Dance" and introduced Harry as the musical guest.


Harry performed in two sketches. One was "Celebrity Family Feud", where he played Mick Jagger.

Harry as Mick, Jimmy as John Travolta and Jeff Azoff as himself

Watch the skit here:

The other sketch was a Broadway-like scene from the American Civil War with Harry as a captive Confederate soldier. And his fake beard almost came off! ;)


The whole sketch here:


Harry sang live "Sign of the Times". It was the first performance of the song on stage and Harry's debut as a solo artist. Harry nailed it - the song sounded great!



Then he sang another song. Contrary to expectations, it was not "Kiwi" but "Ever Since New York". And Harry played the guitar for the first time on stage!








Harry was incredible. His old friend Nick Grimshaw was there to support him.


GQ Magazine published a nice article on Harry's performance:
“Harry Styles joined host Jimmy Fallon tonight on Saturday Night Live as the musical guest but from what we saw, the former One Direction member stole the show, first when he shimmied to David Bowie's "Let's Dance" during Fallon's monologue, then channeled a young Mick Jagger during a '70s-era Family Feud sketch, and finally, when he performed for the first time on national TV as a solo artist. And while the singer's first live performance of his Bowie-esque single "Sign of the Times" is sure to take over headlines, it was what the stylish Brit was wearing that held our attention tonight.
