And now here's Armstrong and Getty.

So I've seen some people on Fox with ashes on their forehead.

It is, as it is Ash Wednesday.

And Fox is a religion-approving network.

You won't see that on any other channels, probably.

But it is Ash Wednesday, and I'm not Catholic. I've always admired Lent as an idea. As a kid, I thought it was Lent, but that is what is in your belly button and or dryer vent.

Lent, the whole giving up something for Lent. When I was a kid, I had lots of Catholic friends, all the private Catholic school kids rode the same bus as me to school, and then they'd get off at St. Joseph.

I'd go to the public school, the secular public school.

But anyway, they were into the whole Lent thing and what they would give up, and it just always seemed like a good idea to me.

It's kind of like a New Year's resolution, but it's just I think a little more.

You stick to it a little closer. Yes, Katie?

I think it's an outstanding idea.

I'm Catholic, and one year I made

the joke that I was giving up Lent for Lent,

and the priest did not appreciate it.

Didn't think it was funny? Oh, he'd heard

a, he'd heard that one before.

That's a no good.

Are you giving anything for, are you a lapsed Catholic or are you giving up something for the length this time around?
