No, no -- WKRP's Les Nesman, "I thought turkeys could fly".THE funniest line on television. EVER. But the line was from Arthur Carlson, not Les Nesman. Poor Les was just giving a vividly accurate on-the-spot description of the turkey carnage, but it was "the big guy" who had the "As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly" line.

No, no -- WKRP's Les Nesman, "I thought turkeys could fly". About 4 years ago I mentioned a show to my daughter who wasn't even alive whem it aired. I started describing the skit and we did a search on the Internet and found the WKRP episode. Now it has become an annual Thanksgiving Morning tradition, seeing the Macy's Parade sucks now days.

Based by the way on a TRUE STORY (happened at a station in Denver in the 1960's. Have a friend who worked for the guy who said it, upon whom Carlson's character was based).
