1. Nice to have him back.

3. Oh! Good one!

Does he - or anyone - think he could run for president?? As this pic demonstrates, he's caught either way. None of us who remember how he was TFG's appendage would consider him - and the deluded remaining TFG supporters will remember that he said that their infallible "leader" was WRONG!

5. Jon Batiste...

Is getting ready for the Grammy Awards, they said in the early part of the second video. He's been nominated for about a dozen of them and probably is involved with production of the award show. He's a busy guy with many projects ongoing and then has The Late Show as his regular gig.

Jon Batiste is so incredibly talented he'd probably explode if he couldn't get it all out.
