The People's Choice Awards is special to us in the entertainment business because those honored tonight are not chosen by a select group of show business insiders but by you, the people. And with us tonight are 6 of the actual voters who participated in this year's Gallup poll. Are you guys having a good time?

Oh yes.

Alright, now here's what happened when they were told that they had been selected to come to Hollywood. All expenses paid. Well, there's a few items

we'll have to talk about but, to attend tonight's show.

Janice Stankiewicz from Eugene, Oregon.

Janice?

Yes.

Janice Stankiewicz.

Yeah.

Hi. Congratulations, you've been selected to receive an all expense paid trip to attend the 1997 People's Choice Awards in Los Angeles, California.

What? This is for real?

This is for real.

Oh my God! I don't even know what to say. How did this, how did this happen? Oh, because I answered that survey on the telephone.

Ashley Dirks, Des Moines, Iowa.

And you'll leave January 8th and the awards are on the 12th.

Yes! I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go.

Curtis Pryor from Pittsburgh.

This is the most prestigious thing I've ever, I've ever won.

Sandra Rivera from Chicago.

Oh my God. Oh my God.

Well actually I was hoping it was the publisher clearing house but that's not it so.

Yes, we're going.
