ME, MY NAME IS KRIS AND I JOINED THE "ALMANAC" TEAM LAST YEAR.

ARGUABLY AN EVEN MORE LIFE-CHANGING MOMENT LAST YEAR IS I BECAME A FATHER.

WELL, 50/50.

MY BOSS IS WATCHING THIS AND MY DAUGHTER HASN'T WELCOMED ME ON HER FRIDAY NIGHT BROADCAST.

THOUGH, EACH DAY IS LIKE I'M AUDITIONING TO BE A DAD, BEING STRUNG ALONG AS IF MY KID IS GOING, "HEY, PRETTY GOOD, BUT LET'S HOLD OFF AND SEE HOW YOU DO TOMORROW."

FOR THE RECORD, I GET BIG LAUGHS, WHICH IS PROMPTLY FOLLOWED BY BIG DIAPERS.

SURPRISINGLY, THERE'S NO SCRIPT TO THIS PARENT THING, WHICH IS ODD BECAUSE THERE IS A FORMULA NOW TO MY DAYS AND NOT THE ONE THAT ALWAYS FINDS ITS WAY ON MY SHIRT.

THAT'S WHAT THE VEST IS FOR, AND TO TRY TO KEEP TOGETHER THE EXTRA POUNDAGE.

BUT IT'S FAR FROM A ONE-MAN SHOW.

IT'S AN ENSEMBLE OF FAMILY, FRIENDS, AND POLITE COWORKERS THAT LET ME FORCE MY BABY PICTURES ON THEM.

AND I CAN'T FORGET ABOUT THE LEAD ACTRESS, JUGGLING MULTIPLE ROLES.

INCLUDING MOM AND ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHER.

THAT'S WHY THIS FATHER'S DAY, I'D LIKE TO TAKE THE SMALL CLAIM I HAVE TO THIS DAY AND SHARE IT WITH ALL OF YOU.

AND NOT JUST BECAUSE IT'S MY REAL WISH TO TAKE THE SPOTLIGHT OFF OF ME SO I CAN SNEAK AWAY TO NAP, BUT BECAUSE IT DOES TAKE A VILLAGE AND IT TAKES EACH OTHER TO MAINTAIN ONE.

SO, IF YOU'RE NEW PARENT OR A SEASONED ONE, OR CARING FOR YOUR OWN PARENTS OR SOMEONE ELSE'S, GREAT JOB THIS YEAR.

HERE'S YOUR FLOWERS, AND TAKE A BOW.

IF YOU LOVE WHAT YOU DO, YOU'LL NEVER WORK A DAY IN YOUR LIFE.

WELL, I LOVE BEING A DAD, AND I LOOK FORWARD TO RENEWING MY CONTRACT THIS FATHER'S DAY.

THAT'S HOW THIS DAY WORKS, RIGHT?

AND TO MY DAUGHTER, IF YOU'RE WATCHING THIS, DAD LOVES YOU,
