Note: 
Sting was both host and musical guest for this episode of SNL, and he appeared in nearly all of the skits presented. I've included his monologue, as it segues into the first performance. Sting's reference in his monologue to "distractions" is an acknowledgement of the outbreak of Desert Storm just a few days prior.
