February 24, 1994 – Commentary on JT’s performance is included on “The Simpsons – The Complete Fifth Season” DVD box set.

When disaster strikes (thanks to Homer) JT is called in to calm the frantic crew by singing a couple songs for them over the radio. He starts with “You’ve Got A Friend” and later sings part of “Fire And Rain,” – at one point changing the lyrics to avoid saying “flying machines in pieces on the ground” since the rocket was expected to burn up on re-entry. Hilarious inside jokes are made in reference to JT’s home on Martha’s Vineyard and his friendship with Art Garfunkel. JT suggests a way to save the astronauts which results in Homer being sucked out of the spaceship. JT’s response when the NASA head honchos turn on him angrily is “Gotta go.” And he does.
