WFSB-TV Eyewitness News 3 commercial (1984)

A rather odd commercial for Eyewitness News 3 from 1984 (during the "One and Only TV3" era), with weatherman Hilton Kaderli and anchor Don Lark in featured roles. Off-the-charts cheesiness. Must be seen to be believed.

I realized only too late that I had my microphone on while I was recording this; as a result, I *think* I recorded myself "singing along" at a few points. It's hard to tell, though.

I am providing this clip solely for entertainment and historical value. I do not claim ownership of the original footage.

I remember the red head guy but not his name. Don Lark got drunk in a bar once with my dad.

The "red head guy" was Pat Sheehan.

I remember all these folks. And yes indeed kiddies, that is indeed Gayle King on the stepladder talking with Gerry Brooks! (What, no footage of Adrianne Baughns?)

@HamptonRoadsTVFan He's doing weather now? Wow.

I always liked Marshall. As I recall he succeeded Dave Smith, who was an arrogant prick.

[HamptonRoadsTVFan]

@swami1 Khambrel Marshall seems to have been moved around with a lot of the Post-Newsweek Stations (WFSB at the time, WPLG, currently KPRC) and in different roles (sports on WPLG; news anchor and currently weather on KPRC).

Wow, did Hilton really have a 10th anniversary party at the time?

[swami1]

Marlene Schneider. Khambrel Marshall.

[puupydoger]

A master piece!

I wonder how this was all planned?
