If you think that was gratuitous you should've seen Jon Stewart's 
Monday night "Daily Show," I went back and watched it. He brought out 
some kind of Harlem choir out at the end of his Epstein bit (which 
contained plenty of vulgarity) and they kept singing "GFY" over and 
over ad nauseum. Seemed like an authentic church choir and it kind of 
surprised me they'd consent to that but whatever.

Of course that's cable and not network so I guess they can do pretty 
much anything they want without fear of the FCC.
