would like to hear it. Nothing beats the phoney call Peter Jennings got from a Stern listener during the O.J. car chase. It went on a long time and even after the guy yelled "Baba Booey" at the end, it took Al Michaels to tell Jennings, on air, that he had been had. Couldn't of happened to a better guy.

Maury from Brooklyn! The best EVER! How Jennings could have fallen for that Stepin Fetchit accent, I'll never understand. "Ah be in de back of a NEWS VAN!"

ABC deserved every ounce of embarrassment they got for allowing Maury on the air without making even the tiniest attempt to check his credentials. And Maury deserved a medal for showing up the nonexistent credibility of the "mainstream" media.

Maury also did the infamous LIRR Massacre call to Bill Beutel (of WABC, unsurprisingly).

Wasn't Jennings also the guy that thought the phrase was, "Lettuce roll"?
