The Man In The Hat sits, as usual, at the center of the dais. To his left are Anna Torv, Gemma Arterton, Mariska Hargitay, Leven Rambin, Pink, Emma Roberts, and Alison Brie. To his right sit Katy Perry, Chloe Bennet, Leighton Meester, Jewel, Britney Spears, Jamie Lynn Spears, and Avril Lavigne.

Man In The Hat: "All right, as usual, before we get to questions, there are some people I want to thank. Let's start with Gemini Boxing for agreein' ta make their first appearance here. They've got a good stable with some interesting fighters and we were pleased to have them. We look forward to having them back. Also, to our indie fighters, the backbone of Asylum, as we always say, and, of course, to our friends at Bazz, who are also very important to the proceedings around here, as they have to serve their monthly purpose of comin' in here and whippin' our butts!"

(Laughter)

Man In The Hat: "And, last but far from least, the FCBA Commission for sanctionin' these bouts and makin' Asylum possible. Now, questions. Cable Boy! Go!"

HBO Reporter: "A second straight 5-1, so, like I asked last time, you have to be pretty pleased, but I know you were hoping for 6-0..."

Man In The Hat: "Again, obviously. But, let's get this out of the way right now. Leven showed some good stuff tonight. She didn't get the job done, an, of course, that's what you need to do. But, she's on the roster tonight. She'll be on the roster tomorrow. We believe in this kid and we're going to stick by her and give her a chance to develop. We aren't givin' up on her. The tools are there. Cable Boy II, start talkin'..."

Showtime Reporter: "Sticking with bantam, Chloe looked very good tonight..."

Man In The Hat: "Chloe's developed as quickly as any fighter we've had, and I ain't surprised. She has a ton of talent, she's very smart, she works hard, and she goes about her work very professionally...because she comes to the gym every day and sees how people like Neve, Jewel, Mariska, and Britney go about theirs. And, as I said, she's very smart. Chloe's goin' places. And I can't wait to ride along with her. BLONDE! Magazine! What have you got?"

BLONDE! Magazine Reporter: "Let's talk about Anna Torv..."

Man In The Hat: "I said comin' in that if Anna were able to take care of business tonight and beat Palicki, she'd be in the mix for a title shot. Well. One job down, but a very tough one to go. But, Anna can do it. She's as good as any light in the world. She's proved it before. And she'll do it again. And, what you saw tonight was an example of exactly why she's so good. Tess, dear, go ahead... "

Tess: "That was a big win for Leighton tonight..."

Man In The Hat: "Yes, it was. Leighton's another girl with a lot of tools. She's been close to putting this thing together before. I think she's close to doing it again now. Carrie Underwood is no easy out. But, Leighton found a way to send her back to the dugout shakin' her head. That was good stuff tonight. Very, very good stuff. Smackeroo. It's dinner time. Take us there..."

Reporter: "Your other two lights were pretty impressive tonight..."

Man In The Hat(smiling): "Weren't they, though? Gems is, as I've said repeatedly, as good as any fighter I've got. An, you saw why tonight. She's talented and she can box a ton, but she's also physical and has excellent power. She's a very tough matchup for anyone in the division, and that's why she's right near the top of it. As to Katy, well. She's a champion, and you saw the tools that made her one tonight. The athleticism. The boxing ability. And that awesome power. You're never more than one punch away from your night bein' over when you fight Katy Perry. All right. It's dinner time. Tess! Smackey! Limo!"
