ABC - World News Now - Sept. 18, 1992

Here's the first of my classic "World News Now" clips from September 1992, featuring original anchors Aaron Brown and Lisa McRee and the schtick that got me hooked on ABC's overnight newscast. This clip also features Ted Koppel with a humorous tutorial on the game of chess; and Barry Mitchell, without his trademark accordion, lamenting the "death" of his beloved Superman.

To bad the show is now all but a shell of its former self. *sigh*

I pine for the glory days of Aaron and Lisa or Aaron and a cardboard cutout of Sam Donaldson or Aaron and Thalia or Thalia and Boyd or Thalia and Kevin or Thalia and Mark or Mark and Asha...and then the spark went out and WNN lost its way.

I remember fondly being newly graduated from high school, unemployed, and watching this show. Especially the 'World News Then' segments they did once a week, where they dug up old news broadcast, including the commercials!! The attitude was great-they KNOW its like, 3 AM, only a handful of people are watching, and, as the song said, they're not wearing pants.

Today's WNN isn't a shell of it's former self; it's a crappy market 85 morning show with the WNN label slapped on it. The lineage to the original WNN has been completely severed.

flashing back to my years doing "sign on" work at a radio station and watching some of this before heading off to work .. but, don't miss the 3 a.m. wake up call

brings back great memories. me and my bro use to watch WNN every night with either Aaron and Thalia, or Boyd and Thalia when i was 14. They were so funny. Especially Aaron and Thalia. Can't forget about the "World News Polka" also. :)
