In his introduction, Kimmel thanked the actor for being their “first ever guest” 20 years ago and being “generous and careless enough to help get this garbage truck started.” Welcoming “gorgeous George Clooney” studio cameras matched the actor’s walking entrance with side-by-side footage of his guest appearance entrance to the show 20 years ago, setting the tone for the excellent humor and nostalgia from the past 20 years that characterized the episode....

The High School Musical franchise is known for multiple things: being one of Disney’s most successful movie series, the launch of Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens’ careers, and most notably delivering the musical number we didn’t deserve, “I Want it All” from High School Musical 3: Senior Year. Throughout the trilogy, the movies presented a list of unforgettable tunes. Whether Troy Bolton is frolicking through a golf field singing “Bet On It,” or Gabriella Montez is belting “When There Was Me and You”—capturing pure teenage heartbreak before Olivia Rodrigo made an album out of it—many of its songs go down in history for their upbeat rhythms and catchy lyrics....

Instead, audiences prefer brighter roads which propagate the illusion of safety, avoiding avenues with any real mirrors and opting instead for a pure escape toward simpler cities constructed with concrete fantasies....
