How Andy had his moment in the limelight.
This is a funny story. I have never told anybody this story, besides a couple of friends at home, and my mum.
Well, these girls and the stage manager [on the Vegas episode] didn't know me from a hole in the wall, or know what my real role was on the show. They knew that I was Lorne and from Angel and tonight was my night for their stage and they were dancing with me and so forth, but I think they thought I had more authority than I did.
I had just watched the Grammies [where] Patti Labelle came rising out of the stage on this big lift, hitting a huge high note. She's got her big outfit on and she comes down the stairs while the girls are all on [them] and does her number.
I look back stage and I see stairs and I'm thinking "Hmm, I want those stairs." There were some on each side, so they brought all these stairs up, and I said, "Girls, let's try something." I told them I wanted to end up hitting the high note on the stairs and I wanted [them] to go first and create the way.
I'm being such a brat, but I was like, "This is my one moment to shine so I've got to shine right now and I'm not going to hold back for a thing."
Those girls went right up, did it like I asked, thinking that I'm a choreographer or something, [and] I was mimicking the Grammies.
