Did you know

• At the beginning of this show, the announcer said "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Robin Williams!" about five seconds too early. (He was supposed to say it so that the end of the announcement would butt right up against the first drum beat of the opening music.) It was the only show on the entire tour where that happened.

• The reference to John Ashcroft losing to a dead man is true. The "dead man" was Missouri Governor Mel Carnahan. Carnahan was running for Senator, but died in a plane crash in October three weeks before the election. It was too late to remove his name from the ballot. But Carnahan defeated Ashcroft in the election. His widow Jean served his term in the Senate.

• The whole thing where the French accused Lance Armstrong of being on performance enhancing drugs turned out to be true. While yes, he was on chemotherapy at one point in the mid-1990s to combat stage-3 testicular cancer, Armstrong finally confessed in 2012 he had been doping since 1995. He would be stripped of his seven Tour de France victories and all other achievements dating all the way back to 1998, lose $75 million in endorsements, and banned for life from participating in the sport and any other sport that follows the World Anti-Doping Code.
