Time once again for another episode of "Remix the Clips". This is one of my favorite editions of this segment. If this song were released... I might buy it.

Radical Audience Suggestions
Late Night has a new segment where they take audience suggestions from the suggestion box. Such suggestions included "thumb mud wrestling" and "can I go to the bathroom". But I particularly found this one interesting:
Now, I don't want to be the one to evacuate the death star in our moment of triumph but something must be said. The original music is missing. It's probably a digital rights thing that they couldn't legally clear the epic track "Break the Ice" by John Farnham but come on! A huge percentage of the radness of that opening depends on the music. The movie and the song begins with soft, unsure synth only to explode later in a crotch-thrusting atomic guitar explosion. (This is the earliest foreshadowing that our hero, though insecure and unproven at first, will come to know that he's the best in the world in one shining moment.)
To put things in perspective, the clip without the correct music, on the awesomeness scale is an infinity. However, when the clip from the movie has the proper music, the awesomeness goes all the way to infinity squared. These numbers are unofficial but I hope they provide you with some perspective. You wouldn't go up to the Mona Lisa and paint a mustache on her. Why? Because perfect art should be respected.

Stefon - Your NYC Guide
SNL "Weekend Update" correspondent Stefon gives us the 411 on popular New York City tourist attractions.
If there's one thing I know about comedy it's that if you're having trouble keeping a straight face in a scene, DO NOT mention midgets or dwarves.

America's Got Talent
If there's one thing to be learned from "America's Got Talent" it's that America does not... got talent.

Eminem Is Serious Business
With Eminem and Jay-Z on the show, Dave is a little scared.
He's had Jay-Z on the show before so he's okay with that, but Eminem has never been on the show before and Dave confides to the audience that he senses Eminem wants to punch him. He doesn't know why exactly... but he does get that vibe.
When Eminem comes on to present a Top Ten List, it's quite a funny list, but the audience senses the (possible) tension. And Eminem's body language does nothing to disprove Dave's theory.
You can see the look Dave gives after "Thanks for having me" as if to say, "See, I'm in dangerrr."
