I think this year’s best tosses have been the Superbowl (why are Romans numeraling our bowls?) and of course the Keyboard Cat toss. I nearly died laughing over the cat one. But it’s interesting to find out the origin of Stephen being “too busy.” Thanks armillariella!

I agree that a Toss is always fun, whether or not everything goes according to plan.

I also liked it when Stephen did a reverse toss, and when he introduced Jon as his “tolerable co-worker.” :)

I agree that a Toss is always fun, whether or not Stephen is too busy or Jon starts to crack up and never really finish it or they pull it off successfully.

I read in some taping report somewhere that one of the questions Stephen was once asked was how they determine when to do a toss. Stephen’s answer was that in part it depends on whether there is time after TDS or if the TDS interview runs long then they can’t squeeze a toss in and have to cancel it. So, I think a subtle aspect of the recurring theme is that it’s perhaps a bit of an inside joke that it probably depends more on if Jon leaves time for it than if Stephen is the one who is “too busy” or “not in the mood”. Anyway, I thought the toss last night was a bit weak, but a weak toss is still more delightful than about 99 % of anything else on TV.

You’re welcome, but I must thank nerdygirl for the perfect set-up.

“Just a Quickie” is one of my favorites, too.

There has been a running gag of “Stephen’s too Busy for Jon,” hasn’t there? Seems like one of these days it’s going to reach a (sorry – couldn’t resist!) climax.

A Toss is always fun, and I like this running theme of Stephen being too busy, lolz. Nothing will ever be better than the ‘Just a Quickie’ Toss. I don’t know how they could top that, honestly.
