Well now, I'm not like three thousand other folks! I used to live next door to Jerry in COWTOWN, TEXAS!! My name is Florence Jean Castleberry. I used to babysit Jerry, when he was four and I was 10!!
8:04 -- So Barbara McBride (a.k.a. Florence Jean Castleberry) goes home that night to celebrate a job well done, turns on the Channel 2 news, puts her feet up... and hears all this rubbish coming out of her mouth! Ha ha ha!
@Gigrantula58 So was I, the first time I saw that! Must have been meant as a practical joke -- the timing was just too perfect to have been an accident.
I wish I could have been there to see the look on McBride's face when she saw herself on the news.
@DoctorZero72 It would've been priceless! I agree that there is a very real possibility of a practical joke, for the reason of the timing that you have brought up; Given that there is almost no room for coincidence for those kinds of odds. By the way, is that Pat O'Brien doing the evening news in Burbank, CA back in the 70's? Directly after Mrs. McBride was finished "speaking". The younger guy in shock?
The light-popping clip with Jim Gardner is clearly from his early days with WPVI Action News. Being in the 12:30am 1/2 hour, it probably followed abc's "Monday Night Football".
It amazes me that they went on air live and stayed there even as the chair sat empty and the poor anchor fumbled with his mic! Back then they figured it just went out and vanished, not many people had recorders.
What WAS that 2 News guy wearing?!?! ANd I think that was Jim Gardner of Philly with the bust light? I just saw him tonite reporting on the 2 feet of snow in the Philly area from the Blizzard of 2010
We're on air!!! LOL
