Please understand, Les Nessman was a model of some of the more stable guys for doing local radio/tv news?

Ever see Bob Izzard in Texas?

How about Fedko doing sports?

Anyone remember Bob Cannon in Tampa?

How about the WX guy who, when there were two escaped convicts loose near Amarillo, did his weathercast in camos with a .357 in his hand and then discussed shot placement for the last :30 of the 'cast.

His tag line that night was, "Remember, all good Christians know how to speed reload!" He spent the next few months in the State Rubber Room.

How about Peter Jennings pronouncing the town near DisneyWorld, " KISS-ah-me! "

A certain reporter,(me) doing live hurriacne coverage in Terribone Parish in the very thickly accented Cajun/French part of Louisiana, asking the manager of a local fast food drive in how to pronounce "where we are now" (Terry-bone, Trea-bon, Terrih-bohwn?) She asked "you mean rhaight here?" I answered a solem "Yes." She pointed to the drive-in's sign and replied for 4 million viewers; "We call it "Ber-Ger-Kiiing!"

Ever see the tape of Sam Donaldson getting arrested on the WH lawn, the Rabbi's kid in the live shot from Philly, or the anchor (Mara Wallinski) in New York who flips off the cameraman DURING a live set peice?

Dick Bate was never sober in 5 years of nightly newscasts in New York!

Remember, Adrian Chronauer is a real guy. He is now a conservative republican lawyer in DC, now with DOD on POW projects. Great guy. "Goooood Morning, Vietnam" helped pay for law school.

Met him at a Repub fund raiser in Roanoke. He is a very funny speaker but his real job is entertainment law.
