  1. These three remarkable guests — Jay, Daniel, and Stephen — and their team have what it takes to deftly balance the venerable Pageant's history and legacy with an appropriate measure of relevance. I'm looking forward to the film and docu-series. Thank you all for making this nostalgic conversation happen: effervescent Richard, his production family, his show's sponsors, Jay, Daniel, Stephen, the guests' publicist, and the viewing community.
