In celebration of his 100th MSG residency show, Billy Joel’s  TV special positioned itself for appointment viewing and benefited from an accidental early cutoff. “Having the network accidentally pull the plug early on Joel, and then schedule an immediate rerun due to fan outrage, couldn’t have been a better publicity stunt if it had been planned as one… which, of course, everyone involved swears it wasn’t. “At the end of the whole thing, I kept saying, you know, if Colonel Parker was alive, this would’ve been something he would’ve pulled with Elvis,” Cohen laughed.”
