What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTalking point number one. The Dancing With the Stars pros have real-life partners, and E!

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorNews tells us those partners can be counted on not to miss a beat. Not one beat, folks.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTalking point number two. When these professionals need love and support, they just get it. Somebody is simply there. Really?

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorI've been at this desk twenty-eight years, and when I needed support, I got a producer saying we're out of time. That's the whole arrangement.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTalking point number three. It takes two to tango. Two.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorI have a bunker, a can opener, and a nineteen ninety-eight Beanie Baby, and that is a crowd of one and a half.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo here's what they won't tell you. These people will go home tonight, somebody will ask how the day went, and they will mean it.
