Did Willard have too much Smucker's?

You may recall the lovely Amy Grant went to sing America The Beautiful at a WashingtonMonument ceremony last week.

And Amy reports there was only one glitch.

TV weatherman Willard Scott, the moderator for the event, apparently destroyed somefurniture -- inadvertently.

"He went to sit on a folding chair and it collapsed immediately," Amy said, giggling.

On his way down, Willard grabbed for Amy, but didn't catch her, and he hit the ground. ButWillard laughed it off.

"He said, 'Better me than you,' " Amy said.

"And I did have a dress on, so I have to agree."
