It was masterful the way he used the kids' tremendous cuteness without being maudlin at all. It wasn't preachy, it was informative and funny and a really good use of the additional time he was given on the show. Props to Jon for making that decision, and mad props to John for doing an awesome job. And mad mad props to those adorable little kids!
