BACK ENVELOPE 4'2m?f Christmas questions are answered magically ANNOUNCER -- I'd like to thank those of you in our studio audience who took the time and effort to ask a question of our special guest tonight.

Why all this secrecy and security, you ask? It is to demonstrate the great wisdom and power of our special guest here tonight. He is not only a Bible scholar but now declares himself to be a prophet. We shall see. Ladies and gentlemen, here to test his ability to answer your questions before you ask them is Doctor No Zitall. Please help me welcome Doctor No Zitall.
