First Week on Air is at Fever Pitch

September 12, 2007 3:46 PM

The anticipation for the first show is always at a fever pitch and boy did I feel it. It was exciting to see our numbers from our first day. I have to say that everyone is really happy with our first week so far. You know, it is a nice feeling to start off a new show and know that there are people out there watching it. It is a really good feeling. I realize it has only been a few days, but the response has been really tremendous.

I have to say it has been hectic, I am taping three shows today and again leaving on a plane for New York and then Philly tonight. It's hectic and a lot of hard work, but I just love doing the show.
