JOHN ROTHMANN woke up out of a deep sleep this
Presidents Day to pitch KCBS: he offered an exclusive interview with
Abe Lincoln and
Richard Nixon.
To which
Jenny Seelig responded: "
thanks, we're good, but could Lincoln fill in the morning news anchor on Tuesday?"
*Nixon just blurted out, "I got your traffic and weather together right here, asshole!"
And as this occured, Pat Thurston shrieked, "Woooo-Hooo!"
*
LITTLE KNOWN FACT: Lincoln almost bought
Giants' season tickets but cancelled when they didn't get
Aaron Judge.
*When Harry Truman made a visit to SF to make a speech before the UN, he arranged, first, to meet up with Dan Ashley and ask about contract negotiations with ABC.
*
President John Kennedy was emphatic and direct to
KRON's Darya Folsom:
"ask not what your contract can do for you, ask what you can do for your country." Kennedy then split 1001 Van Ness and took Darya for a night out to
Perry's.
*Did you know President Ford pardoned Will Tran?
*
FDR was a great president, sure he was, but what did he really want? co-anchoring the 11 with
Sara Donchey at
PIX.
*I BET you didn't know
President George HW Bush told
Eric Thomas to stay away from morning drive: "
wouldn't be prudent, Eric."
*
ALEX SAVIDGE pooh-poohed
KTVU's reluctance to make him the permanent 10 PM anchor: Savidge got a chip on his shoulder ever since
Trump's visit to the Bay Area shortly after 2017 when first lady,
Melania, told him, "
yooo look so cuuute and adorable."
*President and Mrs. Clinton were aghast at the first time watchoing Roberta Gonzales do the weather but Bill got Hillary's wrath by inviting Roberta to the Buttercup for a nooner.
*
President Barack Obama cut short a brief visit to San Jose --he was asked about reports of mass dysfunction at
NBC Bay Area and specifically a rumor of a well-known anchor's relationship with a married man. The president was not gonna talk about all this.
*
NIXON to
Foodie Chap,
Liam Mayclem: "
I am NOT a cook!"
AND TO ALL THIS,
President Ronald Reagan made contact with moi: "
Rich, there you go again."
KTVU echoes Tricky Dickie - "I am not a news program"
ReplyDeleteThanks for the laugh Rich!
ReplyDeleteBuy your “Greatest of All Presidents” comic-trading cards through KNBR, 8 dozen for $2 (American).
ReplyDeleteThanks for enlightening us Rich, the picture you paint is neo-realism.
Kennedy and Obama, our most charismatic presidents, followed by the 2 Roosevelts. Has nothing to do with their politics, although I liked their politics, especially Kennedy. You can like someone's personality and not their politics. In fact I have friends I adore, but we don't agree much on politics.
ReplyDeleteGenius - pure genius! Thanks for the big laugh!
ReplyDeleteI wanna have what you're having, didn't know you have a side of humor in ya, probably woulda happen exactly like that nowadays
ReplyDeleteFun Fact: Abraham Lincoln, Elvis Presley and Jimmy Carter are all distantly related!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you are officially OUT as "not ready for prime time players".
ReplyDelete12:38 So you disagree with their politics does not mean you can't find them charming. As a woman that like good looking men, Kennedy certainly fit the bill, and he was charming as well. To make it more balanced l would say Ronald Reagan had a certain charm, l didn't care for his looks though.
ReplyDeleteKTVU is becoming a joke. If Nexstar doesn't do any stupid moves at KRON TV, I believe soon KRON will surpass KTVU at the 10 o clock news...
ReplyDeleteI saw Rothmann at cal mart looking rather forlorn as we was ready to buy his wife stringbeans and discuss his boyhood idols Herbert Hoover and dick Nixon to anybody who would stop and talk to him
ReplyDelete"*Did you know President Ford pardoned Will Tran?"
ReplyDeleteShould have made it Da Lin.
"*NIXON to Foodie Chap, Liam Mayclem: 'I am NOT a cook!'"
GEORGE HW BUSH to Foodie Chap Liam Mayclem: 'I will not eat my broccoli!'"
In honor of President's Day, I would put Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt on my Mt Rushmore of Presidents.
