Yep Kay that's me.

Got to throw booms with Katy Couric and Matt Lauer around Rockefeller Plaza to close the Today Show in July 1998.

An here is me with someone you might know.

Just got off filming a TV special with Sky UK for the next Freddie Flintoff (English cricketer) show coming out late this year in GB.

  There are a ton of other names for non-returning boomerangs.
  
  The most common is Kylie.
