NIKKI: Hi, I’m Nikki Key and you’re watching the Daily Idea.
Since our staff is always looking for a reason to throw a party and since tomorrow is Leap Day…we are having our 1st Annual Leap Day Party…wait a minute…Leap Day only comes once every four years. How is this party going to be annual?

Anyway, we hired an amazing party planner to take of our big event. In fact, we even got this party planner to give you tips on throwing the best Leap Day Party you can imagine…

JOE: Uh…Nikki…

NIKKI: Yeah.

JOE: We actually didn’t have any money in the budget to hire that “amazing” party planner you wanted.

NIKKI: So what are we going to do for our show today? This party planner was supposed to give us tips on throwing the best Leap Day Party ever. I’m not qualified to give those kind of tips.

JOE: I took care of it. I got a buddy that has thrown some awesome parties, so he’ll be our correspondent for today. I went ahead and added him to the teleprompter. You’re all set…I just figured you ought to know about the change.

NIKKI: Alright. (Joe leaves)

JOE: (off camera) From the top….

LIL’ MACKY: Yo, yo…what up, Shawty. When you gonna gimme ‘dem digits, Nikki, ya heard?
Anyways, I heard someone needed a party planner and that’s why I’m here. I plan the parties that get the people bumpin’, son, like Whoomp…There It Is!
So here’s 3 tips that will get your Leap Day Party as hot as that new Coolio joint.
Tip #1 – Quit Yo’ Job
That’s right. Yo’ boss proally, expects you to be workin’. Guess what? Ain’t happenin’, bossman. You can’t be planning the bomb diggity party and be workin’ in the same day. Plus, who wants to be controlled by the man? So when yo’ boss asks what you doin’ tomorrow…you tell him you quit. And tell ‘em Lil’ Macky told you to.

Tip #2 – Decorations
If you expect people to remember this party, you need to have some fly decorations. I’d go with a frog theme since it is a “leap” day party. I’m talkin’ frog plates, frog napkins, frog everythin’. Get you some green and white streamers and hang ‘dem up to add to the ambience. You feel me? And balloons is key. I’m talkin’ helium balloons. Everybody loves helium, but be careful cuz’ you don’t want the party to get out of control.

Tip #3 – Food and Music
Since you ain’t got a job anymore, you need to bake a cake. If you need to, you can borrow my 52 piece cake decorating set. And make that cake tasty, b. You don’t want yo’ guests eatin’ some busted cake. Nothin’ ruins a party faster than a nasty cake. I also suggest gettin’ you some frog legs to continue with the frog motif. That kinda stuff brings it all together and shows yo’ guest you care. As for drink, make sure you provide milk cuz’ be need milk wit’ da’ cake. And for those that be lactose intolerant, get ‘dem some soy milk.
As for music, get the party started right with some Keith Sweat and then move into some Digital Underground. Cause the Humpty Dance is yo’ chance to do the hump. Yo’ party be crazy!

Yo’ that’s my Leap Day party tips. Holla at a playa, Nikki.

NIKKI: OK. Thanks…Lil’ Macky? What does that name even mean?
Well, I hope those tips work for your Leap Day Party.
