It’s not a live show; it’s taped well in advance, and therefore, mistakes are just as much, if not more, the producer’s and writers’ responsibility as they are Ken’s. Instead, the only real reason to replace Ken is if the ratings took a nosedive, and that hasn’t happened yet.”

Dear Fonseca,
Several weeks ago, my girlfriends and I went out and saw one of our favorite bands play live. I had way too much to drink and was rude to a guy that asked me out. Yesterday, I went to my daughter's school and met some of her teachers. I was stunned when I walked into her social studies class and saw the man I rudely rejected. I immediately felt sick and walked out of the room. He definitely recognized me. Some of my friends say I should apologize and accept the date while my other friends say I shouldn't do anything. My sister-in-law says I should be stern with the teacher and tell him that if my daughter isn't treated fairly that I will go to the principal and tell her that he came on to me. I feel terrible that I've put my daughter in this position. What would you do if you were me?
