That's the ticket!

Warning: Spoilers
One famous line from SNL is "That's the ticket!" and yes in Columbo and the Murder of a Rock Star, it's the ticket that finally entraps the murderer, deliciously played by Dabney Coleman, just a couple of years after his starring role in the underrated TV series Slap Maxwell.

The ending with the ticket and face mask (not the pandemic one) was a leap in logic and just shows the lengths murders will go to in order to avoid the clutches of Lieutenant Columbo.

The closing credits with Columbo an the boom box and CD (compact disc) was a sign of the times when in 1991 CDs were on their way to nudging out vinyl.
