Posted: 11/24/06 at 2:05pmIt was on CBS at about 11:30 (Indiana time for me). Beth and Bob were there singing 'As We Stumble Along.' It was pretty exciting!! My friend called me up to tell me to change the channel =)

I caught parts of Drowsy. My phone rang just before it started. It was family so I couldn't get off of the phone.
Neil was not happy about being out in the rain! Did anyone see him and Jesse Tyler Ferguson chatting in the rain?

DANG I thought you went away. Nobody needs your snarky comments about gays anymore. Keep it Broadway when you are on the Broadway Boards.

Posted: 11/24/06 at 6:57pmAs wonderful as the performance was, did anyone else find it to be a little awkward looking?

Posted: 11/24/06 at 7:45pmThe performers were all wonderful but I agree, it was TOTALLY awkward! Especially with Jersey Boys... for some reason, when they like walked over to the microphones, I was kind of like ???

Posted: 11/24/06 at 9:34pmDid anyone else enjoy how they mispronounced Beth Leavel's name? I also loved how Drowsy just appeared. It amused me.
"Shut up! Are you a communist?"

Posted: 11/24/06 at 9:42pmOh yes! You mean Beth LEEval? I was amused too!

Posted: 11/24/06 at 10:21pmi found the cbs performances a little awkward too, on a side note i think jersey boys performed in the same location the cast of brooklyn did a few years back. My favorite was rent a few years back that they had them in front of the theater (clever tie in i thought) instead of some random location.

Posted: 11/25/06 at 12:21amThe most annoying thing about the Drowsy performance was the stupid way it was filmed. They kept cutting to these high-angle shots for no apparent reason, and the camera kept swooping around. It was stupid and unnecessary. All they had to do was show me the actors doing their work.

Posted: 11/25/06 at 11:28amNeil Patrick Harris made my Thanksgiving. He is so sassy - it delights me. I loved the time he was interviewing a little kid and asked her if she was going to say til the end of the parade and she said yes, then he said something like "come on, are you really going to stay?" and she was like "no..." (ok so it was funnier on the tv).

Posted: 11/25/06 at 11:32amIs it me, or does CBS choose weird locations for everything? About 2-3 years ago, they had Mamma Mia do "Lay All Your Love On Me" at Grand Central Station and Nine was in Central Park.
