Series 18, Episode 21 - Al Green, Tom Hardy, Amber Riley, Matthew Morrison, Chris Colfer, Scissor Sisters

If you live in a world of 'LOL' and 'OMG', the appearance of three members from the cast of Glee may very well delight you, IMHO. If you can remember when English was written proper, like, there's Tom Hardy, Al Green and the Scissor Sisters. FTW.
