>>> your wond you're wondering. i'm trying to think of what i can say about my co-host here after that last segment in which they did their absolute beth with ample assistance from me but to made me look like a psychopath. i'm thinking a it and we've been working together for nine months now. i really can't -- i think of like toure , toure is a modest, unassuming -- he has some talents i don't think -- you see him as a tv personality . i tell you some, toure is a bit of a word smith. i wish he would write a book some day. i think he's got some talent there. he doesn't have the confidence to do it, but i think he's got some talent there. see, i was trying to think of something i could say to kind of get back t at you and then i realized there's nothing i can say that isn't said about you on twitter. right.

>> so i'm going to --

>> somebody's already said it.

>> s.e., i have to give her credit, we have these web extra videos that we do and s.e. has this great one, s.e.'s tweet bag. this is not a shameless plug, maybe kind of is. go watch it. it's krystal, you are a hard person to make fun of because you are truly the nicest person i have ever met. i was talking in the office today, just be ironic and say all of these negative things about her that are clearly t not true and maybe people will get the irony. no, i think they just think that i'm --

>> a jerk.

>> maybe it's a brilliant devious strategy to disarm your enemies or something because i'm sitting here wanting to take a shot of you and i can't.

>> you took plenty of shots at me. that was easy.

>> well, you know, sorry, toure .

>> ironic? okay, chris.

>> i really have, you know, enjoyed, you know, enjoyed working with all of you guyses for the last nine months. i think we've got a minute left here and i want to -- i don't mean to get too serious here but i've been thinking a little bit in the last few days because i'm going to be moving to this saturday show. i'm pretty excited about it. it's a pretty exciting sort of i guess career step. and i'm thinking back to about ten years ago when i got started, my first job was if new jersey. i was writing for maybe $22,000 a year for a website. i was doing this show on news 12 new jersey, 24-hour cable show in jersey. on the weekends. i got to know this guy as a political science professioner writer, on this right, co-hosted the show with me once or twice. he was somebody i called as a quote for pieces. i got to know him really well. he was so encouraging to me. he looked at me and said your future is in tv. you've got to make it work in tv. it was good to hear. i didn't know what it meant. it's not a direct straight line from here to here. the tv thing didn't start until recently. his encouragement stuck with me. unfortunately he passed away a few years ago. he died in the classroom doing what he loved. david is his name. i just had three years in new jersey. it was the funnest time in my life. i'm really excited about this new show. might be great. i hope it's great. might be the biggest disaster sin but we'll find out. there will be a lot of people i hope get to watch but i just wish david could have been one of them. i had a blast the last nine months.

>> we're going to miss you.

>> for the final time, martin bashir , take it away.

>> i'm sorry. who are you?
