AMW On Set: The 1,000th Episode

Last week, AMW celebrated an incredible milestone: reaching 1,000 episodes. Go Behind The Scenes and see some of the moments that were part of the big celebration last Saturday night. From meeting our partners who help us take down the bad guys, to seeing the real people whose lives were directly affected by the show, these moments are what AMW is all about. And we even had a cake to celebrate too!

John Walsh sat down with President Obama at the White House on Thursday, for an interview that was part of AMW's 1000th Episode (Saturday 3/6/10 at 9 ET/PT on FOX). The president congratulated John and AMW on reaching this milestone, and gave John his firm commitment that he'll do everything he can to ensure that Congress fully funds The Adam Walsh Act - so that all sex offenders can be tracked down and monitored.
