Then a minor disaster struck. "At Lorne's pre-show meeting I sat next to Gaga and looked to see if our sketch made it in," Milhiser said. "I didn't see it up on the board. I was crushed. Gaga nudged my back with her foot and said, 'Wait, I fought for it.' Lorne started the meeting with his notes for the show. A few minutes in someone walked up and put our sketch up in the lineup. It was going to air! 'Told you,' she smiled.
