Season 18 Trivia

  • Episode 37 - Although about fifteen profanities were edited out (via sound drops) of CeeLo Green's performance of "Fuck You!", usually with camera angles which obscured his mouth with the microphone, two uses by the backup singers of the "n-word" racial epithet were left intact.
  • Episode 115 - Eva Longoria wore a tuxedo jacket with no shirt underneath and a pair of shorts. She had a wardrobe malfunction when a button popped off of the jacket.
  • Episode 94 - Before the Top 10 List, "Little Known Facts About the Presidents," Dave tells Paul that Paul probably knows more about the Presidents than he does. Paul said that he studied "American history, practical math." That is a reference to the Chuck Berry song "School Days."
