I can't believe they cut Jane's "When You Got It, Flaunt It," it was the only part of the tribute I was looking forward to seeing. Ugh. Poor Jane.

"Some people can thrive and bloom living life in a living room, that's perfect for some people of one hundred and five. But I at least gotta try, when I think of all the sights that I gotta see, all the places I gotta play, all the things that I gotta be at"

Yes, that would have been great to see. Too bad they didn't air it. As far as Nathan goes, it's just too bad all the way around that he couldn't be there. It was a special moment that he should have been part of. It's a once in a lifetime moment. As you could see from the show, once Matthew starting singing "Til Him", Mel immediately got choked up. It would have been more special than it already was.

The only review of a show that matters is your own.

Does anyone know who the ensemble dancers were for the tribute? I thought I recognized Angie Schrower and Bryn Dowling. There were a few others who looked very familiar, and I couldn't place them. I'm glad Gary Beach got a chance to play Roger again, and I loved the whole segment. Sad that Jane's performance got cut though!

Dean: Can I tell you something? Lorraine: That depends on what it is. Dean: I think you're really really pretty. Lorraine: (after a pause) Ok, you can tell me that.

Wasn't it only male lead performances shown, with the only women appearing as chorus?

I was wondering if the theme was leading men from Broadway. Big oversight to leave out a fair representation of leading women if that was not the theme. Strange.

This was so wonderful to watch. I am a huge Mel Brooks fan and I am so glad that he was awarded this honor!! I loved all the performances and wish I could see the cut ones!

The incredible Sean Martin Hingston was one. He said it was "surreal" to meet the president and the first lady dressed as a Nazi.

While I love Angie, it would have been great to see Cady Huffman there as well.

I wish Anne could have been there to share the moment with him. I'm sure that contributed to the emotional response he had.

I'm sure he was missing Anne, not having her with him to share the moment.

I, on the otherhand, got all farklempt when I realized I have the same dress as the woman seated behind Mel.

IS THAT WHAT I LOOK LIKE IN IT!!!
