[laughter] i still remember when i was asked to do the show, he called me and said hey, we are doing this thing. Want to be on the thing? you have to write a model for the thing. I said what does this pay? we had no expectations. All we had was our good looks. I remember sitting here on the first day next to dana perino, she had ghosted me the entire time she was at fox.
