Notable moments.

A late start

A college football overrun delayed the live broadcast by 13 minutes.

A double-duty title variation

The opening montage used separate host and musical-guest introduction clips for Sabrina Carpenter.

An uncensored lyric

The East Coast live broadcast included an uncensored lyric during “Nobody's Son”; later feeds and replays were edited.
