Re: Comedy Central Special, DVD/Blu-Ray Release
I wasn't paying attention to Twitter (My line of sight was kinda preoccupied
), but I did see "White & Nerdy" trending at one point

You have quickly thought up such matchless phrase?

I've never noticed it before, but Al's Fat suit has man boobs 
Is that new?

Dagnabbit. I saw that Al tweeted it would be on at 9 EST/PST. So I tuned in at 9, to discover that the show was half over. Turns out DirectTV put it on at 6 pm, and I came in halfway through the repeat that started at 8:30. Who knew I don't even have the skillset to watch TV?

I came home from work and watched the encore airing....Eeek I can't wait to watch the whole DVD! I thought the production crew did a pretty good job with this.

Re: Comedy Central Special, DVD/Blu-Ray Release
I got back to my dorm about a half hour before the show started. Thankfully, my roommate and a few of his friends were willing to watch this with me. I was impressed with what I saw (especially CNR/Hog/Canadian Idiot). Even though they just seemed confused and alienated seeing PTW, they liked seeing W&N and Fat (one roommate was kinda singing along). They were impressed that he has that many costumes and asked "how does he get changed so fast?" I had to explain to them that they show clips between costume changes. Anyway, I loved the show and I can't wait to get the DVD in a week. Why does it have to come during midterms?
Also, someone mentioned seeing Al being filmed in front of a green screen for the DVD. I was also thinking "in addition to introducing the YouTube clips, that could be his introduction to the "extra live performances" explaining how/why he rotates these songs throughout the tour.

I didn't even know about the encore showing. I was just going to bed and flipping through channels and I happened to chance upon it. So I ended up staying up late and watching the entire thing.
It was also amusing. My dad was bummed from his football team losing really bad that he also happened to start watching it. Well, he ended up feeling better after watching the special.

Re: Comedy Central Special, DVD/Blu-Ray Release
I thought it was hilarious when the people were waving Charles Nelson Reilly masks during CNR. Not to mention Weird Al's definitely necessary description of Let Me Be Your Hog, and I also noticed that some guy in the audience stood up and sat back down when Al jumped during Fat
Also, they played Bite Me at the end while it said "Ear Booker Music". Now how awesome is that?
I gotta give props to Comedy Central for editing the show. They didn't exclude too much and there were no pop-up banners during the show, except the one for Al himself. A+, and can't wait for the Blu-ray.

Re: Comedy Central Special, DVD/Blu-Ray Release
I personally loved the special. I got those same chills seeing the "Fat" jam on TV as I do in concert. However, by removing the video clips, I think it will field a lot of questions like, "How does Al get changed THAT FAST?" At least I imagine so.
It's a stupid question, but it's worth a shot: anyone know the set-list from the last live special's TV airing? I was hoping to compare the two, but then I remembered I couldn't. So I didn't.
