LEON HARRIS, CNN ANCHOR: Where is Andy in this motley crew that we see here assembled, which one is Andy?
DARYN KAGAN, CNN ANCHOR: He's the cutie in yellow, the rubber duck.
ANDY SERWER, "FORTUNE" MAGAZINE: The one in the yellow, that's right. These sailors, Santa is here, this is the greatest thing. Target, the shopping retailing giant, has brought in this shopping ship into Manhattan. Like you said, there are no Targets in Manhattan, so they had to bring a ship here. They're going to kick off a big shopping spree here in a couple of hours; they're going to be here for two weeks. It's a 220-foot shopping ship. Although there are 1,100 Targets, all across the United States, there are none here, so this is the only way we can get our Target in Manhattan. Right, Santa?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: That's right.
KAGAN: OK. Well, obviously that doesn't look as big -- I mean, Target is here in the south and lots of suburban places, like super Target. You can't fit all that stuff on that ship. So it's got to be a limited selection.
SERWER: Yeah, it is kind of a limited selection, Daryn. I think you've got over 50,000 items at the average Target. This Target's got about 90 items. But some really hot stuff. You know, the usual -- guess what -- Harry Potter things in there as well. Also Michael Graves, you know, he's the designer who does stuff for Target. All these stores have designers, like Kmart's got Martha Stewart, Wal- Mart's got Mary Kay Nashley (ph). You've got stuff like a mini fridge that holds a couple of bottles of beer. I thought that was good. A deep-frying turkey thing. I was going to get one of those for Jack Cafferty. A coat for Paula Zahn. I'm going to look for stuff for you and Leon, too.
HARRIS: I want to see you on the bike, Andy. That's what I want to see. When we come back, I got to see you on that bike.
KAGAN: All right, Andy Serwer, thanks so much.
