Outstanding! That was you?! Man, that's worthy of a "where are they now..." This was just about my favorite moment working at TV-5. Don was laughing about it for weeks.
HA HA HA..>poor DOn...always getting it form the editing crew. I too was a Ch 5 veiwer FOR YEARS...but I also watched Ch 8....but didn't REALLY begin wathcing them until Wilma moved to Ch 8 in 94.
I knew the blonde girl taking the drink in the Video behid Don Webster, but that was 30 years ago. Her first name is Michelle. Anybody know her last name or where she is now?
As a kid growing up in Cleveland, I liked TV 5 news the best because I always thought of it as the "fun news". TV 8 was the highest rated newscast and the one my parents watched, but I thought it was boring and too serious and stuffy. But when I had the chance I turned to TV 5 because they always seemed to have fun and I loved watching poor Don Webster getting abused by the special effects guys. Their voice-over guy was F'N Ghoulardi for crying out loud--how can you not love that?!
What we lacked in taste or journalistic gravitas we more than made up for in Happy Talk. We were the top station in the market by far...though perhaps in this context that's not saying much. It was a simpler time...
I agree completely, for a long time I was a WEWS news watcher because this news was not depressing. Everyone was having fun and I really appreciated it. My mom was a Channel 3 person, my grandparents were Channel 8, but as a kid I stuck with Channel 5. Now I don't watch news because it's depressing. I now just work in radio and when I have to read AP, I try to do something and get out of it to decent music.
this is michelle. my fifteen seconds of fame. amazing how many people recognized me on "most outrageous moments". lol
