From a February 7, 2005 Media Week article:
Ken Corday, executive producer and composer for DAYS OF OUR LIVES, marked the NBC soap's 10,000th episode with his acting debut. During taping of the milestone episode at NBC Studios last week, Corday surprised cast members when he stepped onto the stage to play the scripted part of a judge. The cast struggled to get through the scene without laughing, then broke for a champagne toast to the longest-running show (39 years) in NBC Entertainment history.
On hand for the festivities were NBC Universal Entertainment president Kevin Reilly and DAYS' matriarch Frances Reid, who's been on the show since November 1965.
Corday lifted a glass to his now-deceased parents, DAYS founders Betty and Ted Corday, and cited the three important lessons they taught him:
1) You're only as good as your last show
2) You have to love what you are doing
3) You have to love the people you are working with!
