So yes, much should be said about my bro's themed NYE Main Event show.
To recap, the theme worked on all year was "Speaking in tongues". It ingeniously started out with a blast of the THX sound leading seamlessly into a hurdy gurdy man and without skipping a beat into a Focus Hocus Pocus montage.
Pentalingual Willy Wonka showed up to tell Charlie and Grandpa Joe about the lifetime supply of Chocolate. There were lots of chickens and triangles. My penguin avatar Mike debuted in a string of painfully memorable 80's-90's plastic action board game commercials. Microsoft Clippy and the DeLorean shared the same screen space (both made out of stainless steel?)
Morpheus needed some encouragement to get through the alphabet confidently. Kermit got frustrated and The Count got emotional over nothing to enumerate. We gazed into Jim Henson's psyche, the quite old and quite fat Curious Cat was in the kitchen again, and once again were told not to cross the street ALONE.
Tony didn't get it right; Ken Gilcrest had to explain how it all worked again. Then there was an explosive Bohemian Rhapsody ending (more chickens) and then we knew it was all over no question with the flying logo of the originally French enterprise of Diffusion, Information et Communication.
So yes, asking viewers fortunate enough to see it, what other things were memorable?
