from the main house, that it?

Eli, we don't have to...

There are no conditions here.

I know.

I know.

It's just friendship.

Yeah.

But you could come in

for all your meals.

I'll cook.

And there's reading.

Silence.

Any phones in the barn?

No, but I'll put one in.

No, don't.

Ever.

You know...

I got to pack some stuff.

If you'll wait for me,

we can take the noon train.

Success.

Finally.

Yeah.

- Okay.

- Okay.

Okay.

Vicki.

Hey, man, that hurt!

Here you go.

Yeah.

Yes, yes.

Jesus.

Elmwood is really bouncing back

from a period of neglect and decay.

And much of it can be traced

directly back to the 1930s,

when the automobile

started taking over.

In 1936, Elmwood Avenue

was widened...

Everybody, thank you for being there.

- I'm Bill Press.

- I'm Tucker Carlson.

Welcome to our special

Groundhog's Day...

Scattered showers.

Thunderstorms tomorrow.

An ugly morning front...

Thank you very much, everybody.

How you doing, huh?

Thank you. Okay.

Thank you very much, everybody.

That was some event

we went to last night.

Our old great friend Eli Wurman,

one of the great publicists,

put together a fantastic night.

Everybody was there.

Lots of celebrities.

And we were there, too.

- Eli put it all together.

- He has really made a mark.

Remember he came to the house

for the Super Bowl game?

He made some chili for us.

No, it wasn't the Super Bowl.

It was the World Series.

It was curry, and I made it.

Oh, God.

Oh, sorry. But seriously.

Last night, wonderful.

Cary Launer was there.

He said he's gonna have

an important announcement soon.

We're giving away a cruise

of the Caribbean

on the Norwegian Cruise Line.

So don't go away.

All right.

What do we have today?

We have Sarah Jessica Parker.

Plus Nathan Lane.

Emeril Lagasse is going to

show us how to make a jambalaya.

And also that cute Carson Daly.

All the kids love him.
