Geraldo Rivera: Ahem! I said, ahem! Mark: Yeah, yeah, hold your horses... Geraldo Rivera: Um... I was hoping for a somewhat bigger turnout, but, I guess we better get started - I'm incredibly busy! I just wanted to announce we'll be making some major changes in the show this fall! For example, I'll be using my full name and wearing glasses. Almost as important, we'll be upgrading our guests. No more trailer park, incest victims, stripper moms, etc., from now on, we'll be doing only the kind of serious, respectable stories we can all be proud of. Okay, I'll take questions. Mark: Yes, Geraldo, assuming anyone cares, why exactly are you doing this? Geraldo Rivera: I'm doing it as a matter of principle. Mark: Principle? How can it be principle? You've been doing trash TV for years! Geraldo Rivera: Yeah, but principle is hot! Fresh! Ripped from today's headlines! Reporter: Geraldo, whose principles will you be booking first?
