(Friday, Mar. 6, 2009)
It's been five years since Roy was mauled by his stage-pet tiger (which consequently spurred a lot of stuffed-tiger-affixed-to-the-neck Halloween costumes that year), and immediately, we all knew the doomed truth: Siegfried & Roy are so done.

This hour-long 20/20 special shadows the magician vets back to Las Vegas to perform a one-off performance at the Bellagio.
