Goodman is one of the favorite hosts on "Saturday Night Live" (1975) hosting the show 11 times and making numerous surprise appearences starting from the 1989-1990 season to the present.

John's first TV appearance was for a Burger King commercial where he had no lines. He only had to bite into the Whopper with glee!
