Harry Connick Jr seamlessly adds an extra beat to get the audience clapping the right way
The audience were clapping on beats 1 and 3, which makes it all sound off-kilter, so HCJ added an extra beat (at about 40 seconds in) to push the clapping on to 2 and 4, all without the audience knowing a thing.
You can see the drummer lift his arms in celebration just after it happens.
If you don't have a background in music, it might not seem like a big deal but if you're interested in exactly what happened, give this a watch which explains in detail - www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hYYgz-AJKU&t=2s
Incredible talent.

He should have just tipped the piano over and stormed off in a mood
That's what musicians do these days, right?
