- Now stay tuned because coming up shortly after we finish tonight's show is an encore performance of "A Capitol Fourth" on most PBS stations.
- Oh boy, we get to do it again?
On boy, oh boy, oh boy.
- Yeah, we gonna do it all over again.
I wanna say thank you to "A Capital Fourth" for inviting me to be your host on America's national Independence Day celebration.
And a special thank you to the audience at home for letting me be a part of your celebration.
And I wanna thank Elmo and Cookie Monster for joining me tonight.
Anything you guys wanna say?
- Yes, Mr. Alfonso.
Happy birthday, America!
- Yes, it is truly the best birthday party I've ever been to on a day that celebrates our freedom!
- And cookies!
(Elmo laughing) - Really, all over my suit, okay.
