I haven't seen you...

Jimmy Fallon impersonating Donald Trump says at 19 seconds:

How are you, Hillary? I haven't seen you since my last wedding.

It seems that he didn't pronounce "I" at all.
Did he?

The /t/ sound was certainly not released. However, had the tongue was almost certainly in contact with the alveolar ridge before the /s/ began. Had this not been so, the 'havenseen' would have sounded unnatural.

So you don't hear "I" either, do you?

Sorry I misread your question I thought you were asking about the /t/ at the end of haven't.

The I you were asking about was not there.

One more question on this video.

At the end (4:22), Jimmy Fallon says "Turn the music".

Normally, you would use "on" and say "Turn on the music" or "Turn the music on". Is this "on" omissible in this sentence?

I think he said "Cue the music".

Oh, that's why. Thanks.
