Word on the street is that you're packing up the show. I'm not letting you go this easily. We can work it out! I know I left Chicago that one time to go to college, but I came back. And we just had that big party on Michigan Avenue--I still have that stupid Black Eyed Peas song stuck in my head.

You're an institution. You've taken a talk show and used it to change how people interact in our society. On a personal note, you more than exemplify what a little hard work can do for you.
