First time on TV? Very intelligent interview and so very poised. Seems like he's been on many times before!

"Did other people think you were crazy?" she asks!

Bet there was some interesting pre-show conversation in the Green room too!

For those of you on the west coast, the story will run at 8:36 am. I followed a guy that lost 200+ pounds eating nothing but Subway sandwiches. The freaky food story hour. I was hoping to make a shout out to my fellow FlyerTalkers, but Katie kept me moving along pretty quickly.

I saw Pudding Guy on TV! I've got to meet you and shake your hand!

Most spouses would say "That guy is nuts". My wife said "Why didn't you think of that!".

Enjoy your fantastic trip to Europe; you deserve it!

I guess there isn't much hope of it being repeated. We had a power outage

Well, I missed it. But, I'm sure you were great!

Good going, PG!! We here in the DC area only got to see the last half of the interview due to snow bulletins. I laughed at your Pudding Diet reference after watching the story of the Subway diet guy. And none of us think you're crazy. Enjoy your flights!!

Hey, Pudding Guy,

Saw you on the Today Show yesterday. My in-laws, my husband and I were snowbound in Atlantic City at Harrah's. The in-laws had no idea of your fame and were very impressed. I would think Healthy Choice would be offering you a Vice Presidency just for the publicity you've gotten them.

To those who might think it was a great place to be marooned, forget it. My sister-in-law swears they changed the slot computers, loaded the dice and marked the cards so the house won everything just to make up for the fact that the place was almost empty. On top of all that half the staff couldn't get in so housekeeping didn't make up the rooms, just left voice mail saying if we wanted clean towels give a call. It was like being home. Of course, it helped that the room was a comp. At one point there was no way out of the Marina district because the roads had flooded out. So it certainly was cheering to see Pudding Guy and Katie Couric discussing the details of gathering up over a million miles on AA without leaving the ground. It meant that somewhere away from the sound of money pouring into the hotel's coffers someone was actually winning!

Brief story ran here in Phoenix on Ch.10 (FOX) late news at 10:33 p.m. on Wednesday.

Nice story, pix of food bank & also of mileage certificates... just too short!
