WHY PEOPLE WATCH US
It was a great week for us, in terms of guests. Unlike the B-level celebrities
like Kim Fields who don't want to talk about the role that made them famous (Tootie from Facts of Life,) Eddie Money was an old-school pro Thursday. He did not insist on singing his 60's remake songs for the main segments. He was gracious enough to sing his big hits from the 70's, Baby Hold On and Two Tickets to Paradise. Not only did he sing two full segments, but he also played along in our little game show.
Today, Jane Seymour gave me a shoulder rub.
It is the unpredictability that keeps people coming back to the ol' Number 9. I mean, how many interviews on osteoperosis can you watch on The Today Show? How awkward is the phony banter on Good Morning America? The networks have become unwatchable.
This is all a way for me to back into our steady increase in viewership.
We thank you for watching. We continue to beat the Today Show and have now overtaken Good Morning America in the demographics. Fox and CBS are so far behind I cannot see them in the rear view mirror.
Just as an example... In women 25-54, we are up 107% at 6am, compared to last May.
From 6-9am, our rating is triple that of Fox.
Thanks again.
Our message of the day, comes from Chicago native Mr. T who said in a music video we played today: TREAT YOUR MOTHER RIGHT!
Happy Mother's Day

Hey Larry and the rest of the team. I'm glad to here the show is going strong. I relocated to India, but visiting relatives now so I'm checking out all my old (good) habits, like Channel 9 in the morning.
I'm looking forward to the drop in temperature over the next 36 hours. Stuff like that doesn't happen everywhere.
Keep on keeping on,
Dempsey

I, absolutely enjoy watching channel 9 in the morning. You guys are a great team and the laughs come free. I gotta tell you when Paul and you start there is no stopping the both of you. As for Robin, well she's just a "real" person who fits right in the craziness. With all the bad things going on in the world everyday you guys make it bearable. Thanks!!
