That's interesting, I always wondered if this was a bit for the end of a series where they intended to change the shows set as they did for many years. But I guess not then if they brought it all back. When he got rid of the little room looking set in the corner, and had the traditional skylines and what looked to be bigger, things started feeling right. He was still funny in that first desk and backdrop but it looked like something from a PBS show.

I'd rewind and record over the last night's section if I didn't like it enough. Needless to say, the tape is full of amazing bits. This, and the embryonic, polka-doted, rockabilly fighter-pilots song, were among the most prized of my recorded segments.
