4. That can be quite dangerous for adults. I hope he's okay.

[zabet]

5. I hope he is OK.

Get well soon Keith!

[question everything]

6. So that's why he did not host the countdown

on Friday.

Get well Keith!

[Lint Head]

7. He will probably be out a while. He will need at least a week to

recover back to full strength. I've had this same operation. :dem:

[globalvillage]

8. Get well soon, Keith!

:hug:

[PDJane]

9. Get well, Keith.

and do it soon. We need you.

[Totally Committed]

10. I guess we can all be grateful he didn't succumb to the anesthesia....

Let's hope he doesn't catch anything virulent while he's in the hospital.

16. Did he get knocked out DURING the filming of Thursday's show?

I remember that the last segment (#1) was a rerun of an earlier show...

[Berry Cool]

18. No. You must have been watching the taped re-airing of the show that night.

They chopped out the last segment on the re-airing and replaced it with an earlier one because it was all anticipating Bush's speech, which he had already made by the time the show re-aired and which MSNBC thankfully wasn't going to run again.

[skids]

17. Get well Keith but please...

...don't try to sell the appendix on ebay to benefit the Yellow Ribbon Fund. They'll yank your account.
