He was making conversation, and curious about a previous clue. That's it.

That's him.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hogan's_Heroes#Legal_issues "Donald Bevan and Edmund Trzcinski, the writers of the 1951 play Stalag 17, a World War II prisoner-of-war story turned into a 1953 feature film by Paramount Pictures, sued Bing Crosby Productions, the show’s producer, for infringement. Their lawsuit was unsuccessful. While the jury found in favor of the plaintiffs, a federal judge overruled them. The judge found "striking difference in the dramatic mood of the two works."[12][17]"

For the curious, now that Human has posted the answer, A was "The Daily Show." Host Trevor Noah has an interesting perspective on events like "Black Lives Matter" because he sees them through a filter of growing up in South Africa, then moving to the US, rather than growing up in the US. I've found myself agreeing at points, and disagreeing at points of how to interpret video clips he has aired. After a while, having a long, unbroken run of black guests who were there to talk politics wore thin for me. Hopefully, he's finished with that, at least until next February. (The Daily Show is billed as a COMEDY.) "A Late Show with Stephen Colbert" aired from SC's house, and now airs from an office in the same building as the Ed Sullivan Theater. A number of his comments show a particularly geeky turn of thought- much moreso since the Covid crisis began and he may be winging it more.

B IS "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert." Actually, right now, it's "A Late Show with Stephen Colbert" until they go back to live audiences in the theater.

Ok, next round. Get one show correct to advance. This Covid crisis has really altered TV schedules. A lot of older stuff came out of the drawers, and a number of new items got rushed into production, while a lot of current stuff got stopped for a season. Some shows, however, managed to retool and continue airing, albeit with some radical changes. A) This show continued to air through the worst isolation. However, it was great if you wanted to stay current during Black HIstory Month, and it seemed to transform from a comedy show to a "Black Empowerment" show with little humor. Blame the host entirely. who knew all about race relations- in another country but not about the US. He did, however, put a fake "World Cup" trophy toy on a shelf, visible in camera for most or all of the shows filming from his home. His foreign accent has, BTW, gotten a lot lighter over the last few years. B) This show continued to air through the worst isolation as well. Still airing but still not in its usual studio, the current set is nonetheless decorated and resembles the host's office, imaginary or real, complete with a Captain America shield on the wall and in camera shot. The "meanwhile" feature has been "quarantine-while" for the past year. He's also had his limited editions of the Lord Of The Rings books on display, and used them as a point of discussion. His current set is in the same building his studio is in-the Ed Sullivan Theater- but they're not using the studio right now because of obvious reasons (the current crisis.)

Each of those was an homage to something in the mythos- the Ibistick of Ibis the Invincible should be easier to recognize, if anything.

"Hadoken!" "I can see why Rocky climbed up all the way here." "W-Why aren’t you talking?” "We’re gonna need more money.” "Why? You were in there for, like, five minutes.” "Dude, they were very convincing!” "Oh… You’re… that guy. Hey, listen, I don’t have any money.” "Do not patronize me, boy!” This is a stand-alone movie, and should not be confused as any sort of sequel to the previous movie- which was so long ago few people remember it even exists. One goof accidentally displayed a clear view of Minneapolis' skyline in what was a movie set in a completely different city. The laws of inertia suggest several moments in the movie might not make any sense- but that depends on exactly how certain things work in this movie- which is never stated and, obviously, could make a big difference. Survivor's song "Eye of the Tiger" appeared in this movie, and appropriately so (according to some diehard fans.) One critique of this movie is that it was neither targeted specifically for adults- making for a grittier film- nor for kids- which would have made a more family-friendly film. In 1996, Shaq played a genie in a movie called "Kazaam" (IIRC, the name of the genie.) For reasons unclear to me, some people keep asking what connection that movie has with this movie. The answer is: NONE WHATSOEVER. The relics that were snuck into the background may be known to fans- a burning violin, a mirror with a face, a magic wand with a bird on it. That doesn't even mention the reptilians playing poker in a "don't blink" moment.

Thanks for keeping me up on what's new and resuming. BTW, saw John Cena give an interview in his Peacemaker costume. It looks JUST like the outfit from the comics- I identified it instantly, even with his helmet off to open the interview. The resemblance is uncanny. I'm now interested in seeing whatever he's supposed to be in just to see Peacemaker in action. I forget if he's supposed to be in movies, but IIRC he's got a show that's supposed to start filming eventually as well.

Ok, next song. "No more pencils, no more books. No more teachers' dirty looks."

Ok, this was "HOT SUMMER NIGHT", one of Meat Loaf's spoken-word songs. "On a hot summer night, would you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses?" Then the entire exchange follows, with her eventually breathing out the "(Yes)" to the guy asking the initial question and answering all of her questions. After her "(Yes)", he asks again. "On a hot summer night, would you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses?" "Yes." "I bet you say that to ALL THE BOYS!" Then the music begins and we immediately launch into "Took the Words Out of My Mouth." All of that's from "Bat Out Of Hell", and lyricist JIM STEINMAN (Bernie Taupin to Meat Loaf's Elton John) is the guy who we heard in "Hot Summer Night."

Sheena Easton's "Morning Train." Actually, no. That song was originally billed as "Morning Train (9 to 5)". Later, it was called "9 to 5." Then it was changed to just "Morning Train". That was because Dolly Parton had sung the hit "9 to 5", which is the answer to this round. Yes, I'm familiar with both songs. We actually sang "9 to 5" in chorus, and I've seen the movie long ago. -
