"Sorry no tape...my VCR is in the shop. Too many tapings of Buffy I guess. :)

"Anyways Anthony looks great!! Dark blue/silver blue gray pinstrip suit, no tie, silklooking, steel blue shirt, earring in the left ear, silver hoop, and looking great! Stephanie and Sam asked him about the show. They showed a clip from the very first episode, the one where he's telling Buffy her "duty" and Buffy tells Giles, "Can't you people just leave me alone." They had two callers. One caller they basically cut off. The other asked about what other shows he's been in. He said VR5. He talked about the net, and the number of websites devoted to Buffy. He mentioned he thought it was "over 300 and still growing." Sam and Stephanie asked about how he gets along with the "hipster" cast. He said they are like a "family" (it was so funny when he said this. He got all playful/melodramatic. Kind of when you are trying to say something sarcastic but true and overdramatizing it), they go out, and they get along well. They talked about Taster's Choice and how that helped him when he came to America. He's enjoying America. Oh, they talked about how it was easy for many English actors to be able to do a southern accent. They didn't reveal who the woman chooses. I guess we'll still have to wait on that. Finally he talked about the move to Tuesday nights. How they are the lead off for Dawson's Creek. It's a two parter and the WB is reinventing Tuesday nights. Umm that's about it. I hope this helps/entertains."

"KTLA news which is the local WB affiliate spent the day on the set of Buffy live this morning at 7:00. They did about five segments with the cast, most of which are very short. Altogether there are probably less than 10 minutes of film.

"Sam, their Entertainment reporter, did his Emmy report and other stuff from the set, so a lot of the sequences are the cast sitting around while he talks about the news, but it was very cute and casual. They were filming the Halloween episode and Sarah was dressed in a Victorian gown, Cordelia in a cat suit, everybody else was in street clothes? Maybe not, Xander was dressed in fatigues which could have been his costume or his street clothes. Tony was defiently NOT in costume. They didn't reveal anything about the season; like I said it was mostly just fun.

"It was interesting to see a shot of how the sets are linked together. The hallway with lockers outside of the library and the library are all one big set. Of course, I spent most of the interview watching Tony. He's leaning on his left hand most of the time (get that hand away from your face boy) and he does alot of laughing. Especially at a few things that Xander mutters off microphone."
