Hey Jamie,

That's ONE FANTASTIC achievement man. CONGRATULATIONS on the new show and I look forward to watching it. Remeber us little guys here though will ya.

I guess we'll all have to bring our "A" game to the Mr. J Toothy Critter Derby now? If I see cameras on Sunday, I'll be sure to give a big wave. If I see multicolored hair though, I'll be asking for an autograph. :)

Cheers man and congrats again. Another Fish-Hawker in the spotlight.
