Yep, after a while of trying to find it, I've found two clips of his two appearences. The first is in 1976 with Peaches En Regalia, which is the best performence of this song I have ever seen, and the 1978 one is Dancing Fool, Which is a very funny performence. (I recommend taping or saving both of them somehow, seeing as though it may be deleted from youtube. Try Audacity, which records any sound that's coming out your speakers.)

And this goes
out
to all those who say, 'F uck the major labels.'
Yes
Mr. Deadman
, awesome!!! It's dee infamous
Frank Zappa & Coneheads at Home
skit. I love dee way, dear olde Frank seemed a little nervous here? How he exaggerates his cue card reading, which, btw, pissed of Lorne Michael to no end here folks!!! Such an
icon
for folks'n'fans back then, FZ was. Having just successfully sued a major record lable and won. It was not only a miracle, but it also
paved
dee way for Zappa's indie stage of his life. No musical artist had
ever
dared do this, but Frank blazed dee trail here. Today this is a given, but back then, it was awesome. We loved him for it!!! So this set dee stage, and was dee background info, for those wishing to keep his SNL appearances in context today. So don't forget that folks. OK?
Viddy well

Never upload a video on youtube and have "snl" or "Saturday night live" anywhere, cuz the NBC people search for it and delete it all. Just put "Frank Zappa - Coneheads" and that'll generate enough Zappa fans.
