Aside from the obvious tribute to America’s Got Talent throughout, every featured act serves the dual purpose of paying tribute to characters’ essential traits (such as Coach’s interruption-prone ballad about his late wife prematurely concluding in a fit of anger) and to an essential cultural institution (most notably Gail’s rendition of an adult film that sparks Katy’s interest).
The performance that takes the cake, however, is Daryl’s dance, which begins awkwardly until the rest of the cast joins him onstage for an unusually heartwarming conclusion to a much-expected display of hilarity.
There is even more of that to be found in the Season 4 episode in which Wayne and Katy become judges for a town’s own talent competition, hosted by the auctioneer Jim Dickens (Alex McCooeye) whose talking speed puts new meaning to Letterkenny’s unequivocally quick dialogue.
