Saturday Night Live Skit??

As we were on our tour bus, last night, driving from our show at the University of Iowa in Iowa City, we received a phone call from a friend who said they were watching the TV show "Saturday Night Live." On the program they showed a cartoon called "Ladysmith Black Mambazo in Outer Space." We're trying to find out more about this and whether it was funny and good. If anyone saw it please let us know what you thought.
Something interesting about this is that we were told, in January, that we were being considered for that TV show to perform songs from our new CD with some of our guest singers. Obviously, this did not occur, but it seems we made it onto the show anyway.
Every so often we hear about ourselves being mentioned on a TV show. Recently we were mentioned in the movie "Mean Girls" and in the TV cartoon "The Family Guy." It might sound strange but we are indeed honored that these shows choose to mention our name. Thank you very much.

I think you would enjoy it, it was not disrespectful, the humor was based on it simply being a silly idea for a cartoon...fast paced action played against a slow, solemn, beautiful ladysmith song...not a real one, but they did a pretty good job recreating the sound. bandmembers running through space, escaping aliens...it was definitely he funniest part of the cartoon segment.
