BOB BARKER | Wheel and Jeopardy will not lose ratings.
| My experience is different from actors on TV..
Jan | Bob, why do you always end your show by telling
| people to spay and neuter their pets---why has this
| become such a cause for you?
BOB BARKER | I am Bob Barker. People feel that they know me...
| and they probably do! I was talking to a rabbi..
| and he suggested the spay and neuter line..
Kelly McGlynn | good! nice to see you here
Charlene | My sister was just on the show a month ago.
| Didn't get called but was there.
Alice | Hey Bob thanks for a great game show
BOB BARKER | I'm known as the spay and neuter guru!
Factoid Frannie | ===============
| HOW EMBARRASSING: Prior to the 1984 Daytime
| Emmys, the Academy tried to accommodate East
| Coast news deadlines by releasing the names
| of the winners hour before the ceremony. But
| the New York Post revealed the winners' names
| in its late afternoon edition. As a result,
| everyone sat through
| the ceremony knowing who won-and who lost.
| ===============
Jonathan Reiner | Bob Barker was just here, talking about how
| daytime TV has changed over the years. He
| also spoke about spaying and neutering pets.
Charlene | Here comes the big one!
Factoid Frannie | ===============
| The Emmy Statuette is covered with 24-karat
| gold plate, is 16" high, weighs four pounds,
| and costs $150 to manufacture.
| ===============
Jonathan Reiner | Montel is now gone. He was VERY funny.
Kelly McGlynn | why not let Clarence give the award away
Factoid Frannie | Also in "The Nanny" is Nicholle Tom --
| Heather Tom's sister!
Jonathan Reiner | FYI, Charles' brother is a Y&R producer.
Factoid Frannie | ===============
| Y&R has won in this category five times (in
| 1975, 1983, 1985, 1986, and 1993); GH won three
| times (in 1981, 1984, 1995); AMC won twice (1992,
| 1994); Days has never won in this category.
| ===============

Christa [Host] | "Lilly is ready to let Sonny go...that's her
