It's been a difficult year. Consumers have had a lot of distractions from new electronics to gas prices. They aren't buying furniture like they had been.

The Vegas market started out to be a replacement for a western market, but it's gone to a national scope.

The economic climate for big-ticket items like furniture will be soft going into the market. It all has to do with gas and hurricanes.

I don't rehearse on either of my shows, 'Family Feud' or my talk show. I never rehearse with the guests. I don't want to have any preconceived thoughts, notions, because that kills my creativity as a host and as a stand up.

I don't have 'The Jerry Springer Show'. I just got 'Family Feud', but some of them families, when they lose, man, they have some real conversations with each other back behind that wall, but I've never been involved in any of them.

I am fiercely loyal to those willing to put their money where my mouth is.
