I never thought I’d be typing this, but Josh Groban gave a stellar performance at the 2008 Emmys / The Academy Awards, doing an amusing medley of television theme songs. There was quite a variety, and I think I was most impressed with seeing Groban do the South Park theme (1:45 in or so). Also notable is the theme song from Cops about 2:45 in.
Here’s a list of all the TV theme songs Josh Groban sang or made reference to:
The Simpsons
Friends
Happy Days
Golden Girls
Mister Roger’s Neighborhood
The Andy Grifith Show
The Love Boat
Law & Order
The Addams Family
The Muppet Show
The X-Files
South Park
The Jeffersons
Baywatch
The Brady Bunch
COPS
Law & Order
The Fresh Prince of Bel Air
Saturday Night Live
The Late Show with David Letterman
Late Night with Conan O’Brien
The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson

This misheard lyric comes from an early episode of Friends. Phoebe is talking about the song by Elton John about Tony Danza, and starts singing, “Hold me closer, Tony Danza“.
I don’t think anyone had the heart to tell her it was “Hold me closer, tiny dancer“. But I like her version better.
The song also had a brief resurgence in the 2000 movie Almost Famous.
And speaking of Tony Danza, it’s a shame his short-lived talk show got canceled. I was a big fan of the Danzitions segments on The Soup. There’s an example in this clip:
