I'm watching MSNBC. Nobody is going to eat on camera, unless they dive in during a station break!

1. Maybe they're just plastic donuts glued to a platter

To be used over and over like a bouquet of flowers.

2. I've seen the guests eat them. It's not hard to guess why donuts are there at a morning show. nt

3. Bagels and Cream cheese with fruit would go over big.....

Better calories for the money.

Make that Philly Cream Cheese.
