"Mad Money" celebrates 1,000th episode

CNBC's Jim Cramer has something to celebrate despite the criticism the television host has received recently. His show, "Mad Money," hit the 1,000th episode benchmark Wednesday. The milestone was commemorated in front of a live studio audience and featured surprise appearances from some of Cramer's friends and favorite guests. Cramer and his crew also kicked off the trading day by ringing the opening bell on the New York Stock Exchange. 

From the press release:

Throughout "Mad Money's" four-years on air and its 1,000 episodes, the outlook on Wall Street and the world have drastically changed, but Cramer's mission has remained the same...to try to make you mad money. Cramer is celebrating this milestone with the Cramericans who are the very reason he does the show each night. 

During the show's run, there have been "35,892 sound effects, 16,114 miles on the road, 672 CEO interviews, 987 Lightning Rounds, more than 1,500 booyahs, [and] 1 rant heard round the world." To celebrate, CNBC Mobile Web site will also launch a "Mad Money with Jim Cramer" application in the near future. The site will give fans access to Cramer's stock pics, video and blog on their mobile phones.
