I probably would be continuing to do voice-overs, continuing to do cartoon shows, and at the same time I'd probably be on a sitcom or a dramatic television show.

It's been amazing, the number of commercials that I've done, starting back in 1968. It must be 8,000.

My first commercial was for Miller High Life beer.

The group Bananarama has such a light, cutesy-pie sound that they make The Go-Go's sound like Led Zeppelin by comparison.

We tell stories. We talk about statistics. And in 1978, we added an element of the show that gave it its heartbeat: the long distance dedication.

Interestingly, songs used to be short, then they became longer, and now they're getting shorter.

The stories are success stories. The letters from listeners often touch the heart and can be inspiring.
