	Paul Shaffer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Shaffer also might well have been the first person to say "fuck" on American television when he said it (instead of "fluck," which had been in the script) in a sketch aired on March 15, 1980.
		He wrote and produced, with Paul Jabara, the song "It's Raining Men" which was a #2 hit in England for the Weathergirls in 1984 and a UK #1 remake for Geri Halliwell in 2001.
		Shaffer has appeared in a number of motion pictures over the years, including a major role in Rob Reiner's This is Spinal Tap, Blues Brothers 2000, a scene with Miles Davis in the Bill Murray film Scrooged and as a passenger in John Travolta's taxicab in Look Who's Talking Too.
