''I think about these things obviously. I'd be lying if I said I didn't. But I don't dwell on it. Because what am I going to do? Obviously I don?t see myself in that sort of light. I just see myself as someone who goes to work and tries to tell stories. Everything else is irrelevant. I just hope that I told that story well and that I did justice to Rochester.''

Seacrest: The honest answer is that Jennifer sent us the paragraph that we have to memorize when we greet her each day. It's just full of compliments.
Tyler: It goes like this: Jennifer, kee-mo, kye-mo, stare-o-stare, ma-hye, ma-ho, ma-rump-sticka-pumpanickle, soup-bang, nip-cat, polly-mitcha-cameo, I love you.
Jackson: And then we bow.
Lopez: Small curtsy.
Seacrest: No rites of passage. We had dinner the night before we had to work for the first time, and hit it off from the get-go.
Lopez: It's nice. These guys have been together for 10 years now. We?re the new kids. They embraced us so much. It feels like we're part of a family.
