You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Jon, that was SO COOL! Exciting! But they didn't say the name of it, darn it.

"Kicked actuary" please

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Yeah, I go on to the next round. Or, actually, I *went* on to the next round, as it was recorded two months ago. Four shows make up this next round, and I think I'll be on the last one, airing July 20. It's the one where Louis Tomlinson from One Direction is a guest judge.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Jon, you were AWESOME! You made Simon Cowell smile. I'm so happy that it went so well for you. What an incredible experience.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

The full episode is up on the NBC site now, and Jon's performance is super-fun.

Oddly, no! My usual MO is to get nervous RIGHT BEFORE I go onto a stage, but for whatever reason, I was pretty calm throughout. I think it helped that I honestly didn't expect to make it through!

It was thoroughly enjoyable. I think that being able to enjoy yourself with no expectations may be key to coming across so well.

Do we get to know what you are going to play next time? If not I will wait patiently. Kinda.
