[BlueAngel]

I can go for that! It is our reward for watching this stuff. lol!

[Phsstpok]

Just ONCE, when Joan asks, "who are you wearing"...I'd wish SOMEONE would say...."JCPenney"!

I think several years ago Sharon Stone did basically that when asked. She was wearing a Gap top and Levi's, or something like that. It was a scandal and the following year she was in some major designers duds and made a big deal out of it.

[Diddle E. Squat]

"Son, you've got a panty on your head."

[Lil'freeper]

Nice! Crystal thanks the troops, gets applause.

Whoodathunk it.

[LisaMalia]

"Hail to the Chief" for Tom Hanks...pathetic

[ServesURight]

They're playing "Hail to the Chief" for Tom Hanks!

[beckett]

He is a first cousin to George W Bush. He is the son of George H.W. Bush's brother, Jonathan.

[HairOfTheDog]

Tom Hanks is a class act. I am really enjoying this!

Bob Hope tribute now.

[Houmatt]

YES! BOB HOPE TRIBUTE!

[Maigrey]

Kudos to Billy for his time for the service members. I'm happy with the response.

[rintense]

At least Hanks is thanking Bob Hope.

[weegee]

Here's the Hope tribute. Couldn't they have gotten a conservative to intro instead of Tom Hanks?

[mass55th]

Why the hell did they play "Hail to the Chief" for Tom Hanks?

[God luvs America]

Don't you think that appluase was a little weak?? I mean they clapped louder on a flight to Florida I wa on when a pair of GI's came on board!

[HairOfTheDog]

Go do something else, then, sour puss. The tribute is for Bob Hope.

[mabelkitty]

PING FOR BOB HOPE TRIBUTE!

[satchmodog9]

Nice hail to the chief jab, Hanks.

[ServesURight]

FINALLY! A TRIBUTE TO BOB HOPE!!

[BlueAngel]

I believe they are first cousins.

[LisaMalia]

And Bob Hope, God rest his soul, would NOT have been pleased with "Hail to the Chief" being played for Tom Hanks.

That said, "God bless you Bob".
