KYRA PHILLIPS, CNN ANCHOR: Well, it's time now for another round with the trio from Atlanta's Whole World Theater.

SARAH BAKER, WORLD WIDE THEATER: We've been taking your suggestions and for our next improv act and we're back now for a little encore. I am Sarah Baker on the anchor set.

PHILLIPS: That's right, and I'm Kyra Phillips and our Whole World correspondents Phil Cater and Bob Wood. Should we get right to the first story?

BAKER: Yes.

PHILLIPS: Might as well not mess around, huh?

BAKER: Yes.

PHILLIPS: What is it that's breaking right now, Wimbledon, right?

BAKER: Right.

PHILLIPS: Weren't we talking Wimbledon?

BAKER: Right, yes. It's that time of year.

PHILLIPS: All right.

BAKER: I think we have on the scene, Bob Wood. Bob, are you at Wimbledon right now?

WOOD: Yes, Sarah, I am. I'm actually watching the game in progress right now.

BAKER: And who is playing this match?

PHILLIPS: Russian.

WOOD: Well, there seems to be, there is one player and he's on the one side, and then there is another player on the other side and they have a yellow baseball.

PHILLIPS: Liverpool. WOOD: You know, and so they're just swinging it back and forth. I don't really know their names, but I was thinking about later, you know. I was going to go down there and, you know, play a little bit of that baseball racket, what's it called again?

BAKER: It's called tennis.

WOOD: Right, tennis. Right, I'm going to play some of that, right, sounds fun.

BAKER: Are there a lot of crowds there and do people seem to be enjoying the event?

PHILLIPS: Indian.

WOOD: Oh, maybe. Maybe. They're very quiet. They're very quiet at this game, you know, because I got in trouble earlier. I was going around. Everybody said shh. They told me to be quiet so I'm trying to be quiet here, but now someone is telling me to be quiet again. I'm so very sorry for that.

PHILLIPS: OK, that's our Bob Wood live from Wimbledon. Now, Sarah, I'm getting a breaking news story coming across the computer here.

BAKER: Oh, OK.

PHILLIPS: Yes, OK. I'm told that Martha Stewart's first day of incarceration is going down right now and I believe we have a correspondent there on the scene, right?

BAKER: OK, Phil Cater in San Quentin. I don't know where are you, Phil?

CATER: In San Quentin, yes, Sarah, and it is an ugly scene. Martha has been making the most unreasonable demands about the decor of her cell.

PHILLIPS: Fargo.

BAKER: Now, Phil, what kind of demands is she making, and is the warden or anybody paying any attention to her at all?

CATER: Well, you know, she is like a big celebrity, yes, yes. So, oh gosh golly, she's asking for some throw pillows for the corners of the cell because, you know, the corners are the most important part of a room. You can't leave them bare. So Martha's saying you need some throw pillows, maybe a potted plant or a tall lamp, and the warden is just not having any of it, oh no.

BAKER: And how about the other prison inmates, Phil, how are they responding to Martha being there?

PHILLIPS: Alabama.

CATER: Well, they don't really care a whole lot. I mean, they know who Martha is and everything, but it's like they're hardened criminals, you know what I'm saying. They're hardened criminals so they're not all into that cooking and decorating, stuff like that, although she does know how to make napalm out of fingernail polish and glue. So they've been after her for recipe about that.

BAKER: That's wonderful, Phil. Now, tell me how long is she going to be in jail? Do they know at this time?

PHILLIPS: Scottish.

CATER: Well, she's going to be in for about five to seven years, but she gets time off for good behavior. Of course, I don't think she's going to get that time off because she's not very good behaving. She's always misbehaving, if you know what I'm saying. They always start on her, don't do that. Don't do that and she says, "I'm Martha Stewart. I'll bloody well do what I want! You don't understand who you're talking to. Now get me a young male intern in her, or I'm going to tear this place down around your ears." This is Phil Cater from San Quentin, and I'm out.

BAKER: Thank you.

PHILLIPS: All right.

BAKER: Thank you, Phil, for that charged report.

PHILLIPS: Great report.

BAKER: Yes.

PHILLIPS: Wow, all right, believe it or not another breaking news story coming to us.

BAKER: Great, wow.

PHILLIPS: This one is coming from Warren, and he says he'd like to see more on the invasion of flying Fig Newtons in Georgia.

BAKER: Yes, now I don't know if you're aware of this, Kyra, but there is a problem in Georgia with a Fig Newton storms.

PHILLIPS: Really?

BAKER: Reporting live on the scene, we have Bob Wood. Bob, Fig Newtons flying, what's going on?

WOOD: Yes, Sarah. It's a very grim scene here in Georgia, reminiscent of the apocalyptic revelations set forth...

BAKER: You mean apocalyptic, Bob?

WOOD: Exactly. Exactly.

PHILLIPS: Reverend Jim from "Taxi."

WOOD: Yes, they're flying around -- and I was just wondering, I was like, do you have to buy them if you eat them? You know. I'll tell you this, look at that light up there.

BAKER: Bob. Bob. Bob. Bob.

PHILLIPS: I think we lost Bob.

BAKER: Bob, now tell us are people looking on this as a benefit? I mean, they are receiving free cookies after all.

PHILLIPS: Aaron Neville.

WOOD: That's right. People can have free cookies. (UNINTELLIGIBLE). I just want to say maybe we should send them the other way to a starving land. Yes, ma'am.

BAKER: Thank you. Thank you, Bob, and be sure to steer clear of those.

WOOD: Absolutely.

PHILLIPS: Christopher Walken.

WOOD: I'm sorry. What was the last question?

BAKER: We were just wondering if you or anyone else in Georgia is in danger at this time.

WOOD: There's cookies falling from the sky. They hit you in the head, put a hole in your head, you'd be dead. Of course we're in danger. Everybody get inside your car.

PHILLIPS: Sarah, we better get to our final story.

WOOD: Or somewhere else.

BAKER: Yes, I think we should. Bob, thank you. I think that's all we have time for on that report. Is there anything else going on? Any more breaking news?

PHILLIPS: Well, actually no breaking news, but maybe Bob, I believe he's with the president at his 56th birthday. Do you think maybe possibly he could give us a little snippet about what's happening there?

BAKER: Yes, I think Phil is actually there right now.

PHILLIPS: Oh is Phil there? Phil's there.

BAKER: Yes, Phil, you're celebrating the birthday with the president, is that correct?

CATER: That is true, and he's just had his second infusion of virgin blood today.

PHILLIPS: Pee Wee Herman.

CATER: He's got virgin blood. He's putting it in a little needle, putting it up his arm. That's why he looks so healthy at 57 years old. He's a vampire, a vampire.

BAKER: Now, Phil, does the president . . .

CATER: What? Huh?

BAKER: OK, Phil.

CATER: Next question, please.

BAKER: Phil.

CATER: Huh?

BAKER: Phil.

CATER: What?

BAKER: Phil.

CATER: Yes.

BAKER: Phil.

CATER: Huh?

BAKER: Phil, how does the president plan to celebrate his birthday? Are any of his family members on hand, any of those wild daughters with him today?

PHILLIPS: Wrap it up, James Brown.

CATER: (UNINTELLIGIBLE).

PHILLIPS: Phil Cater, Bob Wood, Sarah Baker, it's Whole World Theater. Come to Atlanta just to see these crazies have a lot of fun and make fun of us. Sarah, thank you so much.

BAKER: Thank you.
