I think Roger was the pioneer of droll
anchorman humor. WABC's earliest EWN wasn't
as much "happy news" as "droll news", and way
more entertaining and communicative than
anything in today's info-tainment news world.

You have GOT to love the fact the promo shows how hard Grimsby is working by the face he puts out a cigarette butt right in front of the camera! LOL

@noahf67 Incidentally Roger Grimsby complained to KGO management that he didn't want the Happy Talk Format before he was sent to WABC to do a newscast he really did not want to do. and right when Van Amburg took his SF seat.

Who Did Roger Gimsby Replace on WABC in NY when Roger KGO anchor position was taken over by VanAmburg and Jerry Jensen.
-
Without Grimsby there would be no Van Amburg and Jerry Jensen in the Bay Area.

I wonder what Roger would've thought of his former colleague Ernie Anastos' "Keep fucking that chicken" goof up on Fox 5? He'd probably come up with a witty response to it much like he did when Mara Wolensky flipped off the one person on camera.

he was the greatest!

rainsgirl1889 was this in NYC or the Bay Area?
Roger Grimsby was HOT. I had a mad crush on him.
I sent him a fan letter when I was in 7th grade. Weeks later an autographed postcard with his photo came in the mail, which I still have to this day.
