Set your countdown clocks for September 8th, when I kick off Season 6 from my new home on the Warner Bros. studio lot with my very special guest, Michelle Obama! Michelle will be here to discuss her husband Barack’s historic campaign for President. The celebration continues with the hottest band in the world and the only brothers who are more popular than the Warners, The Jonas Brothers, who will perform their newest single "Love Bug" at a special outdoor concert just for me…and 2,000 of my closest friends! This will also be the first time my show is broadcast in High-Definition and you know what that means: HD naked Twister! It's gonna be the sexiest season yet!
