When told Tuesday morning that the performance had to be shortened, Freund said Starr tried to cut about a minute of the song’s 4 minute, 15 second length, down to 3 minutes and 30 seconds. However, according to Freund, producer Michael Gelman said it had to be less than 3 minutes. “We offered to cut back our chat time and asked them to fade or go to commercial. They were not willing to do that and Ringo was not willing to cut it further, so without a compromise we were not able to stay,” Freund said in a statement to The Associated Press. “Ringo left saying, `God bless and goodbye. We still love Regis.’”     

I understand Ringo’s feelings. Cutting down a song isn’t always that easy, especially a full minute, and especially when you have to sit and watch Regis and Kelly banter on and on about seemingly  uninteresting things.
