By the way:“i·ro·ny” is the use of words to express something different from & often opposite to their literal meaning. Or incongruity between what might be expected & what actually occurs.

The JoY was stand-up from Jerry Seinfeld. The 3fA featured Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers. The Vault was the Stones doing “Dance Little Sister” from Shine a Light. Finally, Conan O’Brien was a writer for “The Simpsons” & “SNL.”
