I hope Ed Herman can keep his run going tonight.  He's looked great since coming back from that long layoff.

Legz...Once step at a time.  They have to maintain familiarity with the broadcast.  They can't just change everything at once.

@AnAlias They can actually. There's no negative about changing that horrible song.

I agree they should change the song...I was really just speculating as to why they haven't yet.

@AnAlais Just found out why they probably haven't changed it yet. Apparently Hans Zimmer is producing music for the new intro.
