It will air on everything because no one has anything else to show on Saturday.

It's not 8 hours? Right? I think it's 2 hours.

 

(EDIT: I think the part on TV is 2 hours and there is some sort of streaming thing for 6 hours before. I dunno.)

Good point... I wonder if he wasn't asked or didn't want to... I can't seem to find any more information on that.

I miss the days when all of the network late night show hosts hated each other.

Actually, Conan was on Colbert's show the other day and I think he is doing it too. I think, I dunno if I'm remembering right, but I think they talked about it. Probably just not a headliner.

My mom texted me she was watching it but said she watched some Disney sing-along on Thursday but said she recorded it so she could watch it again.

 

Also, she said she loves Paul McCartney. I told her Temporary Secretary is the song of our generation.

He played that when I saw him live three years ago. I honest to God never heard of it because I don't listen to much of his 80s stuff besides the first and last albums he released that decade.
