Goodnights		Right before these goodnights get cut off early, Finesse brings Jason to the front of the stage and points at him while looking at the audience, given the fact that this was Jason’s first episode as a cast member. This is the very first instance I’ve noticed of what would go on to be a semi-tradition: a new cast member being pointed out by his or her cast mates during the goodnights of either his or her very first episode, or the first episode that he or she finally does something that kills with the audience after about half a season of struggling to get any noteworthy roles.
