00:25Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the stage America's Presidential Tenor,
00:30Christopher Macchio to sing the National Anthem.
01:00Can you see, by the lonely night, what so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
01:16Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
01:25O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
01:34And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
01:46Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
01:56Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave,
02:09O'er the land and the free and the home of the brave?
02:42So, look, we can be nice and we want to be nice,
02:46but we have rock stars coming up.
02:48They can barely sing.
02:50We have all sorts of people.
02:52I don't want to be specific.
02:55People you know very well.
02:56That's the way it's supposed to be sung.
03:03So, in the excitement of Christopher Columbus,
03:06will you please remind me Christopher has agreed to come back
03:10and sing Nessa Dorma at the finish.
03:12The only problem with that, the only problem is that Christopher
03:16is they're going to want me to finish quickly because they want to hear.
03:19And maybe, I'm not sure I can do this,
03:22maybe I can say because I've Ave Maria and Nessa Dorma.
03:25Can you do them both?
03:26These are all Italians.
03:28Only if you can.
