This led to some chatting about the song and how difficult it was to sing. Gabe Kaplan first talked about how he was working days and evenings, the latter performing in Las Vegas. Since he had an upcoming show for children about museums he talked about how he's come to like visiting them and school field trips as a child - where his mother was always a chaperone. He also talked about the 25th anniversary show he did for ABC, which includes a clip of Johnny and Ed doing "Who Do You Trust?".
