Comedian Sarah Sherman, known for her appearance on Saturday Night Live, recounts a humorous backstage moment with Paul McCartney. Sherman says that while wearing her distinctive mullet, McCartney came up to her after a show and playfully tugged the hair, appearing to question whether it was real. Sherman describes the interaction as lighthearted and notes that her admiration for McCartney’s music helped frame the exchange. She cites particular interest in McCartney’s work, including the album “McCartney II,” and says McCartney encouraged her to “adulate” him, which she presents as part of the memorable encounter. The accounts portray the moment as informal and affectionate, with McCartney treating the mullet as a playful subject rather than something to be taken seriously. Overall, both outlets describe Sherman’s telling of the incident as an “awesome” experience and emphasize the whimsical, off-script nature of meeting a major music figure after an SNL performance.
