  Today’s musical number includes a long distance dedication to the incomparable Jussie Smollett and the mainstream media. You know what? I am feeling generous let us also dedicate this to all of Hollywood:

“Fifteen celebrity minds
Leading their fifteen sordid, wretched, checkered lives
Will they find the solution in time
Using their fifteen crispy moderate liberal minds

Eighteen academy chairs
Out of which only seven really even cares
Doling out the garland to five
Celebrity minds, they’re humbly taken by surprise

Cheer them on to their rivals
‘Cause America can, and America can’t say no
And America does, if America says it’s so
It’s so
And the anchor person on TV
Goes la di da di da
La di da di da”
