02:51Thank you for being such a good sport.
02:53Thank you so much.
02:54I think I look fantastic.

03:55We've been through a lot in this show.
03:56There you go.
03:57Something blue for Taylor from the Empire State Building.
03:59I mean, with all due to the Empire State Building, they dedicated themselves to Taylor and not to America.
04:06Well, I'm sure they're dedicating this.
04:08Well, I mean, I'd like a little red, white, and blue.
04:11Oh, I mean.
04:12But anyway, it's great.
04:14A special performance from the one and only Elton John is coming up.
04:18I'm very excited for that.

04:30And welcome back to the New York Times Square.
04:32We're having a little pizza.
04:33You're going to offer me a bite of that?
04:35Well, if you want.
04:36I mean, there's plenty of it.
04:37You could have some.
04:38We are counting down to America's 250th birthday.
04:41We've got special guests coming up.
