>> MAN, I THOUGHT THEY WOULD NEVER LEAVE.

SO "ALMANAC" HAS BEEN AROUND A LONG TIME, AND WE'VE ALL BEEN DOING THIS FOR A WHILE.

WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE MONOLOGUE?

MINE WAS AT THE STATE FAIR.

I WAS DOING A BIT WITH ALL THE MILK I COULD DRINK, AND I HAD SOMEONE BUMP INTO ME AND SPILL MILK DOWN MY SHIRT.

I KNOW, HILARIOUS.

I FORGOT I HAD TO WALK AROUND THE REST OF THE DAY IN A WET SHIRT THAT SMELLED LIKE SPOILED YOGURT.

WHAT ABOUT YOU?

>> THE BATTERIES IN MY MICROPHONE PACK WENT OUT MID-MONOLOGUE.

THE TELEPROMPTER STOPPED ROLLING AND, AS I WAS PANICKING, TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO, I FELT THESE HANDS FROM BELOW SNEAKING UP MY CHEST AND CLIPPING ON ANOTHER MIC.

FROM THAT DAY TO THIS, I CARRY A COPY OF MY MONOLOGUE IN MY POCKET.

SHELLETA, WHAT ABOUT YOU?

>> SOMETIMES, THE BEST PARTS OF THIS SHOW ARE THE THINGS THAT YOU DON'T SEE ON TV, THEY HAPPEN BEHIND THE SCENES.

LIKE THAT TIME I PUT ON A WIG FOR A BIT.

Y'ALL NOW I'M DRAMATIC, RIGHT?

I WAS TRYING TO CHANNEL SONNY AND CHER.

WOUND UP BEING MORE LIKE SONNY AND HAIR.

I WAS HAVING SO MUCH FUN, I ALMOST CHOKED.

WHAT ABOUT YOU, KEVIN?

>> I THINK THE ONE I GOT THE MOST RESPONSE IN WAS A COMMENTARY, WHEN THE VIKINGS LOST A PLAYOFF GAME AND I LOST IT.

LEADING ME TO PLEAD THE PLEAD TO THE HITCHES ON AIR, WAS IT TOO MUCH TO ASK, JUST ONE, TO DRINK OUT OF THE SKULL OF MY ENEMY?

I GOT A LOT OF FEEDBACK BUT IT WAS ALL POSITIVE.

>> THE VERY FIRST TIME I WAS ON "ALMANAC" WAS FOR THE YEAR-END QUIZ SHOW.

THEY TOLD ME TO BRING SOMETHING FESTIVE SO I BROUGHT HOLIDAY COCKTAILS FOR EVERYONE.

WHICH WAS BOTH VERY FUN AND HONESTLY, I BELIEVE MOST OF THE REASON THAT THEY EVER INVITE ME BACK ON.

SPEAKING OF WHICH, IT SEEMS LIKE WE SHOULD PROBABLY TOAST "ALMANAC" FOR 40 YEARS.

>> IT'S BEEN A GREAT RUN AND I'M ALREADY PLANNING A STAND-UP PIECE FOR THE 50th ANNIVERSARY SHOW.

I HOPE I CAN STILT STAND UP.

CHEERS, EVERYBODY.

>> CHEERS TO 40, EVERYBODY!!

WHOO!
