This is the coveted People's Choice Award. I think this is also one of the most beautiful awards, handcrafted in solid crystal, the applauding hands are copper wheel engraved and they are individually made for the People's Choice Awards by [unk] of Sweden. And now that you have seen the award close up, let's present another one, and to do that, we have one of our most glamorous and versatile actresses as the next presenter. She brings such believability to her role as Karen MacKenzie on Knots Landing. The people write to her character to ask for advice. Ladies and gentlemen, Ms. Michele Lee.

Hi. As a per---- Hi. As a performer, I'm always, always aware of the audience. And where the audience is---- on television and in motion pictures of course, the audience is right there on the lens of the camera, and on stage, the audience is across the footlight. Therefore, I am so very, very thrilled, I am, and delighted to introduce to you a member of the audience who's gonna come up here with me and help me present the next award.

He is Captain Jim Fagerstrom, and he's been working for 30 years piloting ships in and out of New York Harbor. He's called the docking pilot. And with the help of only 3 tug boats, the captain makes maneuvering 960-foot long ships look as easy as parking cars. It's a life he loves, and to those young souls starting out, he says, "once you start, you never want to do something else."

Welcome, one of the people, Captain Jim Fagerstrom.

Yeah.

Give him an applause. Come right here next to me. How are you feeling?

Very good, very good.

Good. Are you nervous?

Yes.

Good. I'm glad you're nervous because we're front of a podium and people and millions of people behind that camera there. I'm hysterical.

Well, standing next to you makes it fine now.

Okay. Shall we get on? Shall we move full steam ahead?

That's a good idea.

Alright. I'm gonna do this right now.

Your 3 top vote getters for country music performers are Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, and Kenny Rogers.
