We never got to see or hear Marcus’s performance. I don’t even remember what his role was (in the picture above, I can’t tell whether he’s supposed to be a snowman or a penguin).
His mother will be crushed.

Bad things always happen to Marcus, so being edited out for running time is par for the course.

“Sorry, Marcus, you’ve been bumped. Robin Williams popped in, and wants to do a set!”
