CBS Exclusive: Ashlee Simpson On Tape
Watch 60 Minutes Sunday at 7 p.m. ET/PT


Oct 29, 2004 12:16 pm US/Eastern
NEW YORK (CBS) When Ashlee Simpson ran off the "Saturday Night Live" stage last week after her lip-sync gone awry, 60 Minutes cameras were there to record her embarrassing exit, and the reaction from show creator Lorne Michaels and other shocked SNL staff members.

The exclusive behind-the-scenes footage of the incident will be part of a Lesley Stahl report about the making of the venerable comedy program, to be broadcast on 60 Minutes, Sunday, Oct. 31, at 7 p.m. ET/PT.

In the now-notorious flap, Simpson had performed her hit single "Pieces of Me" without incident earlier on the show. When she came back to sing a second time, her band started playing and the first lines of her singing "Pieces of Me" could be heard once again.

Simpson, meanwhile, was holding her microphone at her waist. She looked momentarily confused as the band plowed ahead with the song and the vocal was quickly silenced.

A flustered Simpson danced a bit of a jig, then walked off the stage. The 60 Minutes cameras stayed on the 19-year-old singer as she rushed to the backstage area, clutching her throat and looking tearful.

Her father Joe Simpson, who manages the careers of both Ashlee and her older sister Jessica Simpson, said it was his decision to use the pre-recorded music, called backing tracks, for vocal support when it became apparent during dress rehearsals that acid reflux disease had swollen Ashlee's vocal cords.

Simpson ran off the stage when her voice began to fail her then, too, and Stahl and her cameras captured the moment, which turned out to be a preview of what later unfolded on live television.

The singer said the glitch occurred when her drummer hit the wrong switch and cued the wrong music track. She also said it was the first time she had ever used a backing track.

But was it the first time for "Saturday Night Live?" The show's live format has made for some memorable unexpected music moments, among them Elvis Costello stopping and changing songs, and Sinead O'Connor tearing up a picture of the pope. At other times, have its musical performances been less than live? Stahl returned to the set this week to ask that question of Executive Producer Lorne Michaels and follow up on what happened with Simpson.

Actually I think they were doing a story about her father like a lot of other networks are doing lately so that could be the reason.

I think they made fun of themselves to the point where it got annoying.

It would have been fine if they just did the "Tiny Dancer" parody, but there was no point in basing Kate Winslet's entire monologue on it, and the Bin Laden tape reference was also unnecessary.
