Good evening and welcome. This is the fourth presentation in our Maywood Community College arts lecture series, and we're glad you could come. We all love Last One Standing, the new reality show that's been a surprise hit this season. Tonight we're privileged to have with us a co-creator of that show, Derek McClaskey, who spent part of his childhood right here in Maywood. Derek has been a writer, director, and sometimes actor, for the past 15 years, and has worked on such successful shows as and The Brisco Bunch and Streets of Salt Lake. Tonight he will discuss how Last Man Standing came about, take us behind the scenes with a special video clip, and clue us in on what's in store for season two. Afterward, Derek will host a question-and-answer session for half an hour, and then will be available to sign autographs. I'd like to remind you to please turn off or mute all electronic devices during Derek's talk. Now, without further ado, please help me welcome Mr. Derek McClaskey.
