Actually, he was working at the K-Mart in Minneapolis. After Hitler died, Elvis covered his shift

That would have made a helluva a Mary Tyler Moore episode.

The real Ted Baxter’s name was Ted Russell. He anchored in Minneapolis for years. He was drunk 24/7, and became a Ted Baxter. Later got sober at WFTV in Orlando and was a brilliant journalist.

Here he is, starting at about :45, still great even when the teleprompter goes down.
