[Partially Lost] The Taco Bell Dana Carvey Show S01E01

Television

I was just watching Too Funny to Fail on Hulu, the documentary about the rise and fall of the Dana Carvey show. I was disappointed that the documentary did not contain the opening dance number from the first episode. I don't remember when exactly it aired (I'm pretty sure it was after the infamous Bill Clinton breastfeeding sketch) but I remember it involved dancing Tacos singing "I feel like tacos and comedy" over and over. The giant taco costumes are featured later in the episode during the network executive sketch.

I assume this is related to, as mentioned in the documentary, the discontinuation of Taco Bell's sponsorship due to the episode 1 backlash. Later episodes have their dance numbers preserved intact.

Episode 1 of The (Taco Bell) Dana Carvey Show on Youtube: https://youtu.be/noq-9kh2NxU

Best guess timestamp as to the location of the removed dance number: https://youtu.be/noq-9kh2NxU?t=289

Evidence of giant taco: https://youtu.be/noq-9kh2NxU?t=1049

Does anyone know where I might find the original "Tacos and Comedy" dance number that opened episode 1?
