And I want to start with all of you watching out there."
“It’s been an incredible privilege to be invited into millions of homes night after night, year after year, decade after decade," the TV veteran said. "And I’ve always felt that the privilege came with a responsibility to keep this daily half hour a safe place for family fun. No social issues, no politics, nothing embarrassing, I hope. Just a game."
