Sue glad that there are more dvd's that have descriptive content, and a lot more will be on the way. I know the blind community is happy about this, since we really need this type of thing, plus we can enjoy the movies along with sighted people. Thank you for your hard work. Keep it up!

The joke happens at about 3:40 on the linked Tonight Show video. - Jan (Describer)
