Two men in leather pants, armbands and wristbands appeared, and one used his feet to flip the other one by his butt while the sound system played Part Time Lover. It was the gayest thing I ever saw, even more than the way Adam Carolla and Jimmy Kimmel interact on The Man Show. The whole thing was just like a Las Vegas show - the major difference being that instead of spending two hours away from losing money...
