He is the reincarnation of "Ted Baxter" the news anchorman on the Mary Tyler Moore show. Stately, somber, great diction, and a complete Wind Bag
My gosh! He IS Ted Baxter. I had completely forgotten the character........a pompous ass.

Oh, man. You won't believe this. Some freaky, filthy hippy just showed up at my door. "Hi, it's the Sierra Club." I told him, "It's WAY too late." He says, "But we go till 9." I tell him, "Well, you can go somewhere else till 9" and slammed the door in his face. Sheesh!
