And most of these Jebediah clips are the dress rehearsal versions, which are often far funnier than the live broadcast versions, so they air these in reruns. That's why they're so giggly in these clips, because they're reading a lot of these jokes for the very first time, and they're more laid back in dress rehearsal.

    The facial expressians and timing are even better than the jokes. This all started when some newspaper that printed a review of the Gettysburg address, calling the Presidents remarks "silly" decided to print an apology 150 years latter. Like that was really bothering people. They dug up Jebidiah (the original critic) who apologizes for nothing and expands his critical reviews to everything. Brilliant!
