Check out the clip below for a teaser from Diddy/Dirty Money for "Last Train to Paris." But, what caught my eye was the 14 second mark, where we see Usher and Diddy on a blue backdrop. Potentially, this could be from the music video shoot for Dirty Money's "Lookin for Love."

Vibe has brief interview with Chris Gethard, a New York-based comedian who has been trying to get Diddy to appear on his monthly live show at New York's Uptight Citizens Brigade (UCB) Theatre for almost a year.

After he was unable to get Al Roker to appear, Gethard set his sights on Diddy, announcing the idea on December 24, 2009 via the video below, followed by a personal plea to Diddy directly.

In the weeks leading up to Dirty Money's "Saturday Night Live" appearance on Saturday, Diddy had tweeted numerous times that he wanted to do a skit with Robert DeNiro. He got his wish.

The skit is set in a record studio and Diddy plays a record executive-type character. SNL's Andy Samberg is Blizzard Man, the "hottest hook guy in the business." Diddy's character holds a blind belief in Blizzard Man's talents, in spite of his actual abilities. DeNiro played Blizzard Man's mother who Diddy's character was attracted to. The skit also features cast members Jason Sudeikis, Kristen Wiig and Kenan Thompson. It was one of my favorite sketches of the night.

Dirty Money made their scheduled appearance on "Saturday Night Live" this evening.

Their first performance was of "Coming Home." It was a very different performance from the one at the American Music Awards. Outside of the words being said and the chorus itself, the song did not really share much in common with the album version.

It was more of a hushed performance by Diddy, more dramatically and emphatically delivered. I watched it a couple of times and it grew on me a little bit, but I do prefer the original track and the performance at the American Music Awards. The track that people heard on "SNL" was a different record from the one they will hear on the radio and purchase.

Following the performance, Diddy participated in a skit with Robert DeNiro where Andy Samberg played the "best hook man" in the business - Blizzard Man. Diddy's character held a blind belief in Blizzard Man's talents, in spite of his actual abilities. DeNiro played Blizzard Man's mother who Diddy's character was attracted to. Hilarity ensued. It was a funny sketch.

Dirty Money returned to perform "A** on the Floor," as I reported earlier, with Swizz Beatz. This performance was the better one of the night for me as it just seemed a little more natural.

Check out the clip below where Dirty Money and Swizz Beatz rehearse for a performance of "A** on the Floor" for tonight's episode of "Saturday Night Live." It starts at 11:30 PM ET on NBC.

Diddy announced on Twitter that Swizz Beatz will join Dirty Money on stage tonight during their appearance on "Saturday Night Live." Presumably, this means that they will be performing "A** on the Floor." The show starts at 11:30 PM ET on NBC.

Update: Just to confirm, they will be performing "A** on the Floor." Here is some rehearsal footage.
