Not only was that skit pathetic, but the entire is pre-taped tonight - this professor skit, the West Wing skit, the VP selection skip = everything is on videotape; nothing is "live." Everything is in the can already. Canned Al. Not "live" Al.

The professor skit and VP selection skits were live, not taped. Didn't you notice at the end of his opening monologue the control room did a fade out but did it too slowly? You could see Al suddenly bolting over to the VP sketch.
