We got a call on Monday from the producers of the Dr. Oz show—they needed an amazing finale giveaway for one of the doc’s Sweeps Week episodes. Oprah settles for Volkswagens and trips to Australia to end her Favorite Things episodes, but Dr. Oz, who landed #3 on Forbes’ 2011 most influential celebrities, takes it up a notch: $100 Spa Week Gift Cards.

Yesterday, half the Spa Week staff along with the talent from some of Manhattan’s finest spas gathered at 30 Rock to tape the episode. The audience went wild as we all ran and cheered and swarmed the audience, spoiling them in massages and gift cards. No photos were allowed, thus the superimposing above. But my friend who works at Dr. Oz surprised me and snagged this sneak peak. (Thanks Corey!)

UPDATE: On February 4th (NOT 7th as previously mentioned) the show will air, and you don’t want to miss it because you’ll want to see our shining faces and Spa Week T-Shirts, and…

Dr. Oz will be giving 100 $100 Spa Week Gift Cards away to viewers at home! (Giveaway will begin February 7th)

Plus a bunch of other great giveaways. Watch it for instructions on how to enter. You know I would rather YOU win than anyone else.

Thank you to the spas who joined us… and for those incredible massages while we waited ;)

We all missed almost a full day of work to be there, but it was totally worth it. We hung out in the Saturday Night Live studio for most of the day, where we pondered how small the set looked in real life, in awe of the magic of film making (comedy sketches). Don’t you agree?

Then we were taken to the Dr. Oz studio two flights down for a practice run-through.

Of course, a day at 30 Rock is hardly complete without a little snooping… did I mention no photos allowed? Oops!
