Fox Kids Retirement Messages

Bugs Bunny's Leaving Announcement (1993)

 * Brian Cummings: Fox Kids has been ib for over 15 years with a full schedule of television and movies every year. Over the last 3 years, there have been times when Bugs Bunny has been hosting in the USA. In 1993, Bugs Bunny returned early from the USA tour when the symptoms became more severe.
 * Bugs Bunny: For sometime now, I've been sufferin' from a condition, which I've recently found out is chronic. It's a condition called orthostatic intolerance, which basically means that when I stand up, my heart doesn't pump enough blood around my body. Now, it's not a life-threatenin' condition by any means, but it is one that's gonna be with me for the rest of my life, and it will mean that I have to make some changes to my life, in order to manage it. It means that I'll no longer be able to sing and dance the way that I want to, and as a result, I've decided to stop on-airin' on Fox Kids. Firstly, I want to thank everybody for their messages of support in the time that I've been unwell, and most of all, I want to thank my family for standing by me through this very difficult time. To everyone who's ever listened to or seen a Fox Kids TV Show, movie or come to a Fox Kids concert, a very big thank you. It's provided me with some of my greatest memories, to see the children and people there joining along to the things that I love to do so much. Thank you very much, everyone. I'll miss being a part of Fox Kids very much, but this is the right decision because it will allow me to focus on managin' my health. Everybody, (pointing to Inspector Gadget who is sitting next to him) this is my good friends Inspector Gadget and his niece, Penny.
 * Inspector Gadget and Penny: (waving) Hello, everyone.
 * Bugs Bunny: Now, in the times that I have been unwell and unable to perform because of this condition, Inspector Gadget and Penny's been doing a great job filling in for me. (to Inspector Gadget and Penny) So, Mr. Gadget and Penny, thanks very much for doing that, mates.
 * Penny: It's been a pleasure.
 * Bugs Bunny: And, Mr. Gadget, I know you're gonna do a fantastic job going forward into the future as the host of Fox Kids. So, Mr. Gadget and Penny, right now I'm gonna officially hand hand over the host application, Mr. Gadget and Penny. (giving host application and giving handshakes to Inspector Gadget and Penny)
 * Inspector Gadget: Thanks, Bugs.
