At the end of the program all take questions from the audiences.

Helen Reddy - Has a house boy called George...first recording in Chicago in 1967...why referred God as a She. 

George Carlin - Why he writes his own material...why he has grown his hair long now...a class clown in school.

Cecily Tyson - Best ever role she has ever played, "Sounder."...currently about to do a new film very excited about.
