I have Boyd Matson and Potato on tape.  Funny as can be.  Boyd actually fell
off doing Cougar rock!  It was actually pretty good.  I was waiting for
Katie C.  to get to Valery K. when my husband screeched about the computer
not doing something right.  I went in to try to help him out and missed the
whole thing.  Is there a way to go to NBC and view that segment on the
internet?   Thanks for any info.   gesa
