FRED, THANKS SO MUCH.
I'M GLAD YOU'RE HERE BECAUSE I NEED YOUR HELP WITH SOMETHING.
LAST DECEMBER, AS WE DO EVERY YEAR, WE DID OUR "LATE SHOW"
GIFT GUIDE, AND WE RECOMMENDED SOME VERY USEFUL, VERY
HIGHLY-SPECIFIC STUFF FOR PEOPLE TO BUY IF THEY HADN'T GOTTEN A
GIFT IDEA FOR THEIR LOVED ONES.
HERE'S A LITTLE TASTE.
>> OKAY.
MAKE YOUR OLD MAN'S DAY SPECIAL BY FOG HAT.
THEY CREATED A BOOGIE ROCK MASTER PIECE AND ROCK AND ROLL
OUTLAWS AVAILABLE ON C.D. AND L.P., A HOLIDAY MUST HAVE.
THE LITTLE ONES ARE CLAMORING FOR THE NEWEST TOY SO WHY NOT
GIVE A GIFT THAT WILL ENDURE, FOG HATS FOOL FOR THE CITY?
>> Stephen: YOU MIGHT HAVE NOTICED THERE WAS A THEME TO
SOME OF THOSE GIFTS.
>> AWESOME GIFTS?
>> Stephen: THAT'S TRUE, BUT ALSO FOG HAT GIFTS.
THIS WAS A TRUE STORY, ROGER EARL OF FOG HAT, THE FOUNDER OF
THE BOOGIE ROCK SOUND, SAW THAT WHILE HE WAS IN THE HOSPITAL AND
SENT US THIS PHOTO.
THAT'S HIM IN THE HOSPITAL, APPARENTLY GETTING A DOUBLE HAND
REPLACEMENT.
DOES THAT HAPPEN A LOT WITH DRUMMERS?
>> ALL THE TIME.
>> Stephen: ALL THE TIME.
YOU'RE ON YOUR THIRD OR FOURTH SET OF HANDS AT THIS POINT.
>> YES.
>> Stephen: HE WAS SO TOUCHED, HE ACTUALLY SENT US GIFTS FROM
FOG HAT.
IT'S ABSOLUTELY TRUE.
WE'VE GOT DRUMSTICKS, YOU MIGHT LIKE THAT.
WE'VE GOT GREAT FOG HAT T-SHIRTS.
WE'VE GOT FOG HAT C.D.s AND GREAT HATS RIGHT HERE.
(LAUGHTER) MOST EXCITING OF ALL, AND AGAIN
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY TRUE -- DRUM ROLL, PLEASE -- HE SENT US
BOTTLES OF OFFICIAL FOG HAT WINE FROM FOG HAT CELLULARS.
JASON, PLEASE!
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN...
THIS IS JASON HERE ONE OF OUR EDITORS BUT ALSO HAS GOOD WINE.
ACCORDING TO THE LETTER THAT THEY SENT ALONG, PHOT HAT ROGER
EARL HAS BEEN IN THE WINE BUSINESS ALMOST A DECADE.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO HELP ME REVIEW THESE ACTUAL FINE WINES?
>> DOES FOG HAT HAVE EIGHT GOLD RECORDS?
>> Stephen: I HAVE NO IDEA, BUT...
LET'S REVIEW THE WINES FROM FOG HAT CELLULARS!
♪ ALL RIGHT!
LET'S START WITH THE FOG HAT CELLULARS 2012 CABERNET
SAUVIGNON.
HERE WE GO.
♪ TAKE IT EASY ♪ ♪ SLOW RIDE ♪
♪ LET'S TAKE IT EASY ♪ >> Stephen: OKAY.
IT'S GOT A VELVETY TEXTURE.
I'VE GOT A GOOD NOSE AND I DETECT NOTES OF SPICED VANILLA.

I THINK I WOULD PAIR IT WITH A FOOT-LONG CHILI DOG.

AFTER SCREENING "THANK YOU CLEVELAND."
(LAUGHTER) >> THIS IS DEFINITELY THE PEST BEST
