It doesn't explain why CNN remove the funny stuff. That explains why he always seems so tired during the international introductions on CNN. It doesn’t explain why CNN remove the funny stuff.

The joke was about being a child under 18 outside the US, and how one merely had to have patience- you too will be adopted by an American celebrity, just give it some time. Oddly, it was delivered from a standing posture instead of the American sitting intro. We actually recorded a new intro after the show too, for the international version of the show.

These private moments are intended to remain private, and thus adding to the deep desire other people have to finding out what happens there. having worked in production for several television shows, the breaks were to maintain the energy which is projected through the fourth wall (the screen), this allows guests (who may not be actors) as well as the hosts, to give the audience an impression of being present at the event.

But the show got a bit out of control, and they didn't get the last guest on (this was back when the Tonight Show as 90 minutes, too) and so at the end they re-recorded a new intro. It was a strange bit of time-shifting.
