CRAB KINGS

The Stanley brothers risk their lives along with the fishermen to film "Deadliest Catch". There they were last September, all duded up and cruising down Hollywood Boulevard in a stretch limousine on the way to the Creative Arts Emmy Awards ceremonies. Across the street from Grauman's Chinese Theatre was a billboard, bigger than life, showing camera toting Todd Stanley dangling over the roiling sea at the end of a long crane. "Discovery Channel," the billboard read "Discover what it takes to get the shot."

You won't want to miss this LiveWire!! Tune in, today at 5pm, when Ray will talk "Live" to the Stanley Brothers, Todd and Doug.
