we know him from "batman," carroll burnett is a legend, no doubt about that. what does an actor get when one gets to play opposite that kind of cast? the >> i get really excited. i want to learn what i can from them. but mostly i just feel lucky to get to share the screen with them and bring some characters to life and it's just great. it's such fun. because they've -- i heen, like watching michael keaton work, he's been doing it so long and he's so lovely to everyone onset. there's so much to learn. i love it. tavis: but never intimidation, though? >> i mean, sometimes, you know, i knew carroll burnett from the musical "annie." i grew up watching that and she's the very scary to a child, ms. hannigan. the character she plays. she's terrifying. and she's just so brilliant in the role because she's hilarious, she's -- her character is completely drunk the whole time. and she's singing and -- but she's also terrifying. just really a terrifying personality. so when i met her, she's the sweetest lady. i think i was a little maybe intimidated more from the characte

let's go live to cnbc's erin burnett live at the stock exchange. how much of a factor is consumer confidence? >> well, consumers are very important. two-thirds of the economy. and what we saw today, several big retailers reporting, target on that list, home depot, saks fifth avenue, the department store. profits better than expected. but where the problem was was on revenue. and obviously, that's perhaps a best indicator of consumer spending. now, consumer confidence, we all know those numbers have come in and have dramatically disappointed. but what's interesting, andrea, it's not necessarily the confidence number itself, which is correlated with whether consumers are going to spend money. it's consumers' expectations about the future, and if you look within these confidence numbers, you also see a drop there. so you're not even seeing kind of that ray of hope. it's across the board within the confidence numbers you're seeing the weakness. and andrea, we do just have these headlines. edmunds.com, one of the big websites people go to for car resear

let's bring in erin burnett. good to see you. >> reporter: good to be with you, carlos. >> what's wall street saying after what's been a last terrific month and a half or so, or actually i should say several months? >> it's interesting. we have a starkly down day due to concern about the economy. and it lynxes into the survey you were talking about, carlos. what we just saw overnight, right? japan's economy grew. that is a feat. but then everyone looks at the number and says, well, it was really because of government spending. and that's part of the concern we're seeing in this economy which is that the growth that we have had is due to government spending. now, interesting public perception says that the stimulus plan is not working. economists and investors might be critical of whether the plan could have been structured differently or how quickly it's working. but it is fair to say that in the second quarter of this year, the stimulus plan did contribute to growth. somewhere between 1% and 3%. but it certainly
