- Richard Roeper - Host: ...from small town America, kidnap everybody off the stage and put them in a movie, and they'd be much better than this.
- Richard Roeper - Host: [reviewing "The Hottie and the Nottie"] Paris Hilton, the conceit that she's somehow this great beauty, she looks like a porn star after a really long weekend, especially in close-up.
- A.O. Scott - Guest Host: Ouch, now that's-
- [chuckles]
- Richard Roeper - Host: I mean, the title alone should keep people away.
