Jamie Foxx's reaction was hilarious.

Jon was the major reason I was watching as well (along with John Williams). I'm a huge TDS fan, and I thought Jon did just fine. However, I felt so bad when the camera panned to the audience and pretty much everyone was stone-faced. Are these people unable to laugh at themselves? Based on their cold reception, you'd think everyone in Hollywood has a stick up their diamond-encrusted ass. Perhaps they figured Jon would play it safe and use "their" kind of humor.

(On a side note, I did love seeing Steve Carell and hearing Stephen Colbert. Steve looked like a drag queen. LOL).

Jam it back in, in the dark.
