The Man In The Hat sits, as usual, at the center of the dais. To his left are Mariska Hargitay, Leelee Sobieski, Pink, Kesha, Emily Osment and Kat Graham. To his right sit Kat Dennings, Neve Campbell, Britney Spears, Jewel, Grace Park, and Alison Brie.
Man In The Hat: "All right. Before we get to the questions, I got a shout out for Bo Krsmanovic. Yeah. That sucks. Feel free to let it suck tonight. Then, tomorrow, remember that most fighters don't claim the title in their first opportunity. Now, your first one is out of the way. Get working on the next one. Because, you ARE a champion. Now, let's get some questions. Cable Boy! Go ahead!"
HBO Reporter: "How are we going to do a press conference on a DRAW?"
Man In The Hat (laughing): "Let's find out. Cable Boy II, talk to me."
Showtime Reporter: "Didn't look like either fighter or either corner was very happy about the referee's decision..."
Man In The Hat: "Look, nobody likes a tie. Football, they used to have ties. Now, they got overtime at every level, because nobody likes ties. No fighter goes to work every day in the gym, works like crazy to get ready for a fight, thinkin', 'Gee, I hope I TIE'."
(Laughter)
Man In The Hat: "But. It is what it is. Everybody wanted to keep fighting, because that's what these girls do. But, the ref made his decision, and a draw is what we have. Tess, dear. Go ahead."
Tess: "Do you have a problem with the referee's decision?"
Man In The Hat (grinning): "I've said this before. The referee's most important job is to protect the fighters. And, we are NEVER gonna criticize a referee for doin' that, EVER. We WANT him doin' that. We have great affection for our fighters. So, if the ref thinks it's time to stop a fight, then, it's time to stop it. Smackeroo. Dinner time. Take us there..."
Reporter: "Let's talk about Kat's performance...."
Man In The Hat: "It was great. She's in there with one of the best bantams in the world, and she stayed right with her, gave her all she wanted, all she could handle. She proved she was every bit as good as a girl who's very near the top of the division. That was good stuff from Ms. Dennings. We've always believed she's got championship talent. And, these days, a lot of other people believe it, too. Now, dinner time. Tess! Smackey! Limo!"
