The other guest segment that morning was an Oscar Fashion panel, featuring Carson Kressley, Maria Menounos, and Lawrence Zarian. The panel agreed that this was one year in which Oscar fashions were great all around, although each had a few favorites on their list.
After the look at fashion and a taped backstage segment with Kelly, the program was winding down. Indie band the American Authors was set up during a commercial break.
Kelly and Michael, who had admitted to getting no sleep the previous night, continued their unflappable ways during the round of activity that accompanied each break.
Despite technical problems over the air (the band was out of synch with their monitors), the performance of Best Day of My Life got the entire Dolby Theater crowd clapping along.
It hardly seemed that a whole hour had passed by the time the final commercial break arrived. Kelly and Michael had only one final taped segment to introduce, and then it was time to close.
Following a funny video piece that placed the Live hosts in some of the nominated films, it was time for goodbyes, complete with confetti and a reprise of Best Day of My Life.
Once the all clear was sounded, the audience made their way to the exits as the crew of Live With Kelly and Michael assembled on stage for a group photo.
Incredibly, the whole crew headed back to New York City that day, and was right back on the air live on Tuesday morning. The After Oscar Show was history, but the memories (and photos) linger on.
