Why did Wilson Goode actually talk like he was illiterate on that commercial !!!!

[Philacav]

And of course, who can forget that it's Captain Noah himself narrating the "This is It" spot.

Cool. I have some airchecks of the old WIP with Ken Garland's morning now. Before it was a sports station.

Hey do you think you can post some of them on youtube?

I wonder if Kenny Loggins got an residual for ABC's use of his song for a show

[TechnerVideo]

Who cares?

[thewipsportsfan]

I really don't care either, but Please don't take it seriously, it was meant to be a joke, Kenny Loggins' "This is It" is one of my all time favorite songs. I love the videos on your channel. they bring back great memories.

This takes me back to the Saturdays of yester years. South Jersey.

First...holy crap! Look how young Gary Papa looked and sounded back then. Second, I remember "Prime Time" and "This Is It" growing up. Awesome clip.

Prime Time / This is it if I remember correctly aired on Saturday nights between 7-8.Wasn't Jim O'Brien the original host of This is it?

[TechnerVideo]

Yes, Jim O'Brien was the original host. It was the first show that he got interested in sky-diving.

[yerkeskid]

His skydiving death was tragic :(

[Skibibbles]

@yerkeskid Wasn't that Jim O'Brien?

[yerkeskid]

@Skibibbles Yep, Jim O'Brien. He was the WPVI Weatherman and he hosted WPVI shows Prime TIme and This Is It. He's was also Roz from Frasiers real life dad.

[ebbowman]

Wow, Prime Time and This Is It, that brings back memories.
