If I were Toby, I'd sing it anyway as he walked on stage, unplanned. What would ABC do, pull the plug? I doubt it, not without risking a publicity and ratings nightmare. Peter Jenning can go to hell too, as far as I'm concerned.

Sing it anyway? Good idea.
That's what Elvis Costello did on Saturday Night Live so many years ago.
He managed to anger the staff of Saturday Night Live by replacing "Less Than Zero" with "Radio, Radio" (the band played the opening bars of the former and without stopping, launched into the latter, a scathing indictment of radio, the music industry, and - at least at that moment - U.S. network television).

You mean pull a Jim Morrison?

Thats how I think every performer should handle "censhorship requests" from networks. Just say it anyway. If they "bleep" it out on the 8-second delay, so be it.
