Laura Grifftih-Kelly, through the Gilman Legacy Foundation, would disavow knowledge of the final edit of the program, stating "While I suspected the network would desire speculation on some of the more lurid and unsubstantiated claims made by critics of Lionel and Tobias Gilman, my only regret is not being more assertive to the point that my insistence was impossible to edit out."
