Did anyone else notice his second song contained the riff from Baby Blue by Badfinger?

Speaking of the Che/Jost "riffing", did anybody here who follows along with the closed captioning notice that most of their asides were scripted this year? (ie. the quips were incorporated into the captions too quickly to have been ad libbed)

Unfortunately, Roy Wood's Wizzard band were not available at such short notice.

It was a nice touch that Sharpton really did screw up one of his line reads in a sketch that was making fun of how often he really does screw up reading the cue cards on his MSNBC show.

Margo Price was certainly enjoyable, but I couldn't get around the fact that from certain camera angles she was a dead ringer for Kilroy, as in those "Kilroy Was Here" drawings from World War II.

I thought some of those characters with the thick accents were just supposed to be unintelligible until I checked the closed-captions and saw that they were just really weak attempts at humor.

It was great to see Kate Bush on American television. Hell, it was great to see Kate Bush period.

And at the end of the 2nd song, she pointed at them and said "My actual dead pets" (although the closed-captions didn't post it)

And Taraji P. is Jim Henson's illegitimate daughter.

It was nice of the Zac Brown Band to give that guy from the Gentle Giant album cover some work.

Again?

I agree that something was definitely off with the effects in the magic sketch at the end of the show. If you look at the "magician's" right hand at the end of the sketch, it looks like he was supposed to be performing a "real" magic trick, but the effect didn't show up correctly on the screen, just showing some black…

That's why God invented closed captioning.

They're up weekly on ABC.com, no subscription necessary.

Her line, from the closed captioning (so I'd assume it's from the cue cards) was "Don't over think it, dude, you've just got to let it ride, man". The "stoned" line did indeed seem to be improvised.

Or Pussy Galore. Or Agnes Moorehead.

If this inspires David Blaine to take up country music, I'll never forgive you Willie!!

At least Dead Heads can keep "What Would Jerry Do",can't we?

Isn't that Ringo's line?

Do you think that Mickey was given a bucket to kick when he finally went?
