Norton helped Ralph "prepare" for the TV show by playing current hit songs on a piano; but first he always "loosened up" by playing a few bars of Stephen Foster's "Old Folks at Home"
aka "Swanee River"

Then, on the TV show, they played "Swanee River"..& the host asked Ralph who wrote the song and he answered nervously "Ed Norton?"

He accidentally fell & it just happened...That's "Live TV" ...the best kind.
The fact that it happened near the end of the scene only made it more hilarious!

So I go up to him and say, "hey, nice Ed Norton costume". He said, "what costume"?
