Scott, Thanks for your listing of the KMPC website. I did a little cruising and found this gem:
| Quote: | | Christmas - 1970's - This was one of those spots just before Christmas when the sponsors suspend their usual recorded ads in favor of a nice holiday message read by the DJ. In this case, Gary Owens apparently didn't know who the sponsor was until after he started reading the copy. Needless to say, when he realized that he just said all these sweet things about the holiday and then saw that he was "selling" Preparation H, he lost it. I don't recall what year it was, but I sure know that it became a regular on his pre-Christmas shows for many years thereafter. |
G.O.'s Christmas Message
Gosh, it sure pays to pre-read copy before opening the mic, but in this case it might not have helped anyway!
