AFVN Bloopers

(Archived 4/5/01) - A noble attempt to play AFVN's "Capsule Countdown" of Top 10 hits without the use of a pre-recorded tape of its entries.*

(Archived 4/5/01) - An AFVN service announcement entitled "How's Your VD Lately?". Brother, you can't make stuff like this up!*

(Archived 4/5/01) - AFVN's attempt to read a news item that I don't think most folks then, let alone a quarter century later, could even begin to figure out. The announcer sure couldn't.*

(Archived 4/5/01) - An attempt to record an AFVN TV Channell 11 sign-off that doesn't go exactly the way the announcer wished.*

(Archived 4/5/01) - A familiar, casual air in a broadcaster's delivery is one thing - what this announcer comes up with, though, is something more apt from a post '67 Haight-Ashbury refugee than from an AFVN broadcaster.*

(Archived 4/5/01) - Oh, I don't know...so AFVN's sexy siren Chris Noel doesn't know what an Anopheles mosquito is. But then again, when you listen to hear speak, you may find yourself wondering if she knows anything about anything. On the other hand, though, you can be sure that she didn't get hired for what she knew, anyways ; - ) .*

(Archived 4/5/01) - Joey Bishop records a promo for Pat Sajak's AFVN radio show (yep, he was on the radio in 'Nam). Joey does it, plays around with it in a suggestive manner that might conceivably annoy Sajak - and then resorts to comparing him to Jack Paar once he realizes Pat is in the room with him. Now that's show biz!*

(Archived 4/5/01) - Following the above, Joey Bishop, having finished doing promos for AFVN, finds out just what's in that cigarette his interviewer is smoking. You might well wonder what Pat Sajak knew about it.*

(Archived 4/5/01) - Here we go again...AFVN's Chris Noel hasn't heard of the word "simultaneous". But keep in mind - that's not why they hired her - besides, what they really needed was a gal who sounded like she didn't know the word "no", anyways.*

(Archived 4/5/01) - Yes, "There were they". I do sincerely feel sorry for this Chaplain - he's a victim, at the very instant he's delivering this on AFVN, of the very thing he's preaching against.*

(Archived 4/5/01) - You can't conciously create something of this kind; stuff of this quality can only happen spontaneously...AFVN broadcasts Simon & Garfunkel's "Sound of Silence" as the news accidently cuts in on the transmission, making an elegant allegorical accompaniment that runs stunningly parallel to the lyrics.*

(Archived 4/5/01) - Naughty boys!*
