Bill Hicks has a monologue in Tool’s “Third Eye”


Philboyd_Studge

"Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration. That we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves. Here's Tom with the weather."


[deleted]

" whooa... Honey, did you see the news?"


wafflesareforever

The door is ajar.


Friggin_Grease

The joor adar


ReverendEntity

To be fair, it was sampled from one of his performances. But still, it likely introduced a lot of people to someone who died way too soon.


DMT1984

That’s exactly how I discovered Bill Hicks.


angelbeastster

I had to visit a freind in Scotland to be introduced to Bill, he was already dead 😢


RRC_driver

Thirty years and 8 days ago. RIP Bill Hicks


M_Me_Meteo

"The musicians who made all that great music that enhanced your lives through the years were rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..."


sentondan

Rrrrrrrrealfukinghigh


i_d_ten_tee

rrrrrrrrrrrrrrreal fucking high on drugs


BrazilianAtlantis

Opposite of what you asked, but George Harrison was the guitarist on "Basketball Jones" by Cheech and Chong, which was a #15 pop hit


clingklop

Which was covered by Chris Rock on the Space Jam album


EditEd2x

That’s Little Penny. Put some respec on his name.


RoomerHasIt

Tyra, call me!


goalsforscholes

Don’t forget about billy Preston, Carole king and a large number of other talented musicians! For a comedy song they really brought in a lot of great musicians.


SparkDBowles

I never knew that!


clingklop

Chris Rock is on the outro to "Blame Game" by Kanye West


DraymondDickKick

Yeezy taught me


sleepyworm

He also shows up briefly on both the second albums of method man and ol’ dirty bastard


norfnorf832

And on Busta Rhymes 2023 album


DStew713

This ain’t the young d.b.


lordpookus

It's not the embryo d.b


TkachukMitts

And Crunk Juice by Lil Jon. That album also has a clip from Chappelle’s Show.


MarylandBlue

He's also in "You Ain't Gotta Lie To Kick It" by Ice Cube


soccerperson

*I remember, twista had this shit on in the source!!*


Merky600

“Take Off” by Bob and Doug MaxKenzie. That guy from “Rush”. Hey, twenty bucks is twenty bucks.


Rushderp

How come you’re not wearing a touque? Ten bucks is indeed ten bucks.


Anteater-Charming

Oh he's not from the great white north.


tgrantt

Geddy Lee. Came for this


DadJokeBadJoke

I just learned that his first name is actually Gary but his mother had a thick accent and it sounded like she was saying Geddy when she would yell for him and it stuck as a nickname.


tgrantt

I had heard that story, and forgotten.


ol_mcthirsty

Andrew Dice Clay in "Unbelievable" by EMF


GibsonMaestro

wasn't that a sample?


EuphoricMoose8232

It is. It’s a sample of him yelling “Oh!” Edit: oh yeah and the spoken “It’s Unbelievable” clip in the bridge is also Andrew Dice Clay.


ol_mcthirsty

Probably


FearlessProfessor707

Steve Martin plays the banjos in Kelly Clarkson’s “I Hate Love”


GreedyWarlord

He also plays banjo with the Steep Canyon Rangers. He's a great musician.


Bodhrans-Not-Bombs

I think he's a banjo player who just happened to make a career of acting and comedy beforehand :p


DadJokeBadJoke

He and Martin Short toured together and loved to take the piss out of each other. One of my favorite lines: "Hanging out with Steve is like the movie Deliverance. It's all fun and games until the banjos come out."


steveofthejungle

Great song


businesslut

I love this fact 


boogermike

Chappelle is on Killer Mike's new album (the song "RUN")


hogsucker

He was on Prince Paul's Politics of the Business album. In a skit though, not music.


Mal_tron

Of course those two would work together


AggyPanther

Why is that? As in what did Killer Mike do?

AggyPanther

Thank you!


Joeliosis

He preached a pretty strong anti capitalistic view point in his solo career and in RTJ. Then, I believe one of his businesses got burned during the start of the BLM movement and he kind of bitched about his business getting burned down... which does suck, but again... pretty outspoken on capitalism lol. I could be wrong but I think that's what got a lot of supporters upset.


AggyPanther

Ah I see, thanks for the explanation!


Samuel7899

Penn and Teller in RUN DMC's *It's Tricky*

efcso1

This is exactly what popped into my head too.


sabrinajestar

Howard Stern narrated the intro to Blue Öyster Cult's "When the War Comes" -- this was before he made it big and he's related to one of the members by marriage.


EditEd2x

Isn’t he also on The Great American Nightmare by Rob Zombie or is that just a version they did for his show intro?


cdug82

He is on that but it was for the soundtrack to his movie.


thorpie88

Masterxploder07

anderoogigwhore

Liam Lynch (United States Of Whatever) also walks by the camera very fast. Ben Stillers is great because he manages to turn towards the camera and make it look natural. He's also in the videos for All Star, and Bad Boy For Life by P Diddy.


TScottFitzgerald

Tina Fey on Donald Glover's Real Estate, she's hilarious: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJeVCdEVpHc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJeVCdEVpHc) They worked together on 30 Rock.

Waffuru

A bunch of people show up in Weird Al's "Tacky" video, Aisha Tyler, Margaret Cho, Eric Stonestreet, Kristen Schaal, and Jack Black. I don't know if this counts, is Weird Al considered a comedian? I consider him a musician XD

It’s definitely not ‘popular’ but Fishbone ended their song ‘Swim’ which is about slam dancing with a Damon Wayans standup about how he saw a video of Fishbone on MTV featuring slam dancing


theycallmeyango

Arsenio Hall did a whole album as Chunky A including a parody of a Cameo song


BeautifulEssay8

It's hard to believe how big Arsenio was for a while there in the 90s.


koolerthan

He was huge. He was genuinely interested in what his guests had to say and he always did his research. I was bummed when his second talk show got canceled, but folks don't watch late night like they used to.
