Trivia[]
On all versions When the third note of the goodnights' base plays, Lorne Michaels’ credit scrolls up. On Demand, TV app and NBC app versions, the cheers and applause track from the montage is used. On Hulu and Sling versions, the cheers and applause track from the studio is used and the I love ny, copyright notice and logos appear after the piano plays during the waltz in a music. On Demand and TV app versions, after Don Pardo’s credit, the I love ny and copyright notice appear and a minute of just nothing, but cheers and applause and silent talks are happened. But after the camera scrolls up to the clock, the logos appear. On NBC app versions, after Don Pardo’s credit, the I love ny, copyright notice and logos appear. Which means that the silent talking without the credits on the NBC app version is cut.
The cheering from the audience is almost very loud in this episode.
