Robert Wuhl takes the stage again and gives the crowd a sports update. The Rangers won two to one and in the NFL draft, the Jets took Neil Patrick Harris, jokes Wuhl.
Someone here is about to win a cool prize, he says. Under one of the bread plates is a Thanks Again sticker. The winner with that plate wins 25,000 miles! Andrea Shey from Swift Exchange is the lucky winner. Congrats Andrea!
And next, a short video from Google travel is shown.
