They played it four times, once in slow motion.  Jay couldn't believe it didn’t seem to bother Eddie, as he replied after the rip, “Will this get me on Survivor?” .    Eddie has a very serious side to him too; you may have seen him on the NBC morning show Good Day L.A., promoting a peace concert dedicated to the 9/11 victims singing a song called "WHY", which he originally wrote after the Columbine incident with Grammy winner Wendy Waldman. (This show made the 11:00 o'clock news on NBC, where Eddie was featured singing.)

Eddie's contribution to the CD was “Jesus Is More Than A Name”  It was co-produced with Grammy winner Carl Jackson and Mike Ward. (the album was up for 3 Grammy nominations) it features Marty Stuart, Ricky Skaggs, Jim Lauderdale, Eddie Dunbar, and The Elvis Band just to name a few.
