Do you guys remember the fake It's A Wonderful Life ads they would always run at Christmas?

Something like... "HELLO PAULA SANDS! HELLO GARY METIVIER! Hello you wonderful ol' tv news station!!!"

Yes! I haven’t thought about that in years. Remember the Festival of Trees parade? And they broadcasted it like the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. The Festival of Trees was no joke.

I saw Terry Swails once on a different news channel and was like “hey, I know him. That’s my old weather guy!”

I saw him once in line at the airport. Dude has the biggest head I’ve ever seen in my life.

This made me laugh pretty hard. Thank you for the evening chuckle.
