NEW YORK -- A notorious prank caller and Howard Stern fan from North Wales, Pa., managed to get onto CNN's "The Situation Room" and was interviewed about the Ramsey case.
In a live phone interview Tuesday with CNN's Wolf Blitzer, Thomas Cipriano pretended to be Wendy Hutchens, a California woman claiming that five years ago she had detailed chats about the death of JonBenet Ramsey with murder suspect John Mark Karr, the New York Daily News reported Thursday.
"Wendy Hutchens is joining us on the phone right now," Blitzer told viewers. "Wendy, thanks very much for doing this. Tell our viewers how you got involved with John Mark Karr." The fake Wendy then proceeded to explain that she met Karr through a relative.
"So then what happened after that?" Blitzer pressed. "When did the e-mail, when did the talk of JonBenet Ramsey begin?" The fake Wendy replied, "It started around September of 2001, when he told me that he knew more about the JonBenet Ramsey case than what anybody else had known -- and that he was instructed to kill JonBenet by Howard Stern."
At which point Blitzer ended the interview, saying, "All right. Well, that sounds like we've just been Howard Sterned, as they say."

If Wendy had been bashing Bush the interview would have continued.
CNN and Stern....they deserve each other.
LOL, but I have to believe if she substituted Limbaugh for Stern, Wolf would have believed it.
Actually, something similar happened on Fox hears ago. When the Egyptian man killed someone at El Al terminal at LAX over July 4th weekend, IIRC. (Not sure I have event detail right above.) Someone called in as a consultant and it was totally a crank call. The anchor said something similar to what Wolf did. It happens.
Baba booey to ya all!
It was the first Gulf war and "Wuff" was standing by the runway at a Saudi Arabian airbase. USAF figters were taking off. Wuff stated that the fighters were acceleerating with their "...thruster burners aglow..."
Wuffie the Wookie forgot to announce "warp speed!" and we USAFers knew that Wuffie was an Air Farce force to be recounded with!
Since when does the MSM require credible 'experts' on anything when 'making' the news?
I believe it is called Captain Jacked
That was so damn funny! "Da man looky pretty scared!"
Context please. Don't understand the phrase or reference.
A classic
Jennings: We have on the phone with us as well Robert Higgins, who lives in the neighborhood and is on the ground and can see inside the van. Mr. Higgins.
Caller: Ah, yeass, ah, how are you?
Jennings: Ah, just about as tense as you are, sir.
Caller: Oh, my Lord, this is quite tenses.
Jennings: What can you see?
Caller: Ah, what I'm lookin' at ri' now is I'm lookin' at the van, and I see OJ kinna' slouchin' down lookin' very very upset. Now lookee here, he look very upset. I don' know what gon' be doin'.
Jennings: Can you... can you... can you see him doing anything specific? Is he merely sitting there?
Caller: He is just a-sittin' 'round, you know, just a-lookin' like he be very nervous
Jennings: Can you hear anything, Mr. Higgins?
Caller: It's just too much commotion, I here in the back of a news van, so I can' really hear that goo' but I can see it all. An' I see OJ. I see OJ, man, and he looks scared. An' I would be scared 'cause there's cops all deep in this.
Jennings: Thank you, Mr. Higgins.
Caller: An' Bobba Bouey to y'all!
Jennings: The driveway of O. J. Simpson's home in Brentwood... Clearly an effort being made to have him come out of the vehicle... In the doorway of the house: his friend, Al Cowlings...
Michaels: Peter, by the way, just for the record, this is Al Michaels. That was a totally farsical call.
Caller: Ah!
Jennings: Ahm.
Michaels: Lest anybody think that that was somebody who was truly across the street that was not. He said something in code at the end that's indicitave of the mentioning of the name of a certain radio talk show host.
caller: Ah!
Jennings: OK, thanks.
Michaels: He was not there.
Jennings: OK, we have them on every coast. Thank you very much.
No, that's a Billy Joel song!
Context please. Don't understand the phrase or reference.
Ah, Peter, he is referring to a crank caller during the OJ Simpson chase with Peter Jennings and Al Michaels
Good Memories.
Thanks
I'm no fan of CNN but I certainly don't think these little childish pranks are funny at all.
