When Kelly announced that she'd be going on a tour in support of the book, the ABC News host touted himself as a fan once again when he commented: "Look for me in line."

Kelly eventually revealed that three more book tour dates had been added for early October, including one in Kentucky, Illinois, and also in Ann Arbor, Michigan, where her youngest son Joaquin is attending university.
