At the event, fans got a special introduction from Tim and Barry, as well as a special dance performance choreographed by Kenny.
Tim also joked about the lack of use in his legs, as he hasn’t been able to walk for 12 years following a stroke.
“I’d like to tell you that I haven’t been legless before tonight, but it wouldn’t be true. I’m, unfortunately, currently sitting in a wheelchair, so get over it!” he said.
Tim also joked about Barry‘s introduction, saying, “When Barry was being introduced, he was introduced as ‘OG,’ and I’m assuming that means ‘old geyser,’” to which Barry said, “We’re all that way, Tim.”
“True,” Tim said, “but you’ve got that lovely white hair.”
In addition, Barry gushed about how inviting Tim was on set of the movie.
“When I first met everybody on the set or in rehearsal for The Rocky Horror Picture Show, you were the one who came up and gave the biggest hug, and gave us the warmest welcome,” he said. “And I’ll never forget that.”
“When we got off the plane, you hugged us and you said, ‘Welcome, welcome, welcome to your world’ – and we’ve been there for 50 years,” Barry added about arriving to set with co-stars Susan Sarandon and the late Meatloaf. “Thank you, Tim. We love you.”
“It wouldn’t have been the same without you,” Tim replied.
