Buck Henry: Thank you. Thank you all folks. I wanna thank everyone here for a terrific week. And there’s something I’d like to say, you know, the cast, the crew, the cameras, the booms, the people in the booth everything, they’re incredible people, and the amazing thing about it is that every one of them here, they’re all gay.
(The audience along with the cast slightly giggle.)
Buck Henry: But they’re just like normal people, just like you or me. And I just wanted to point that out before we say goodnight. Thanks a lot.
(Audience applause as we pull back to see Buck and the cast at home base on an overhead view, stage right. Closing theme plays, credits roll)
