The Cold Open, 7 songs

Now that they're on board, Matt and Danny try not to crumble under the pressure of putting on their first big show, where the stakes are outrageously high. Also high are the number of complaints the network is getting over the "Crazy Christians" sketch, which Jordan defends to Jack.

  • Lush Life — John Coltrane & Johnny Hartman
    Actually, this song is in the PILOT. Plays during a dinner party for Jordan at Jack Rudolph's home (which, incidentally, was previously the setting/house for a season of America's Next Top Mode.
  • Side 2 Side — Three 6 Mafia
    Actually - this was in the PILOT episode, not "The Cold Open". It is playing as Jack comes into the studio with Jordan to fire Wes. It plays through a good portion of the episode.
  • Faster Kill Pussycat (Featuring Brittany Murphy) — Paul Oakenfold featuring Brittany Murphy
    The song is actually in the PILOT episode. It plays at the cast wrap party (mostly heard as a bass beat) as Harriet, Tom and Simon discuss what happened and what may result from it.
  • California Love (feat. Dale DeGroat and Big Robb) — Zapp & Roger
    Introduction to "The Big Three" as the wrap party begins.
  • Under Pressure — Queen & David Bowie
