TV show "Extra"
December 19, 2001

Tori was featured during a short (roughly one minute) story on the U.S. syndicated TV show "Extra" on Wednesday, December 19, 2001. This show is syndicated and appeared on many difference stations and networks across the U.S. at different times. (A few people reported that their local station aired it on December 20, 2001.)

At the moment you can see a page about Tori at the Extra web site and watch a video clip from the show. Thanks to Heather Hansen and Jason Rafferty for telling me about it.

Toriphiles ethereal spirit and Kristopher Kelly sent me a transcript of Tori's appearance, which you can read below. As you can see, they made a mistake and said she was born in Newton, South Carolina. They should have said North Carolina!

If anyone can send me screen shots from this Extra appearance, please email me! You can currently see a few photos from the show at toriamos.org.
