Arthur Carlson [played by Gordon Jump]: “Look, Les. I know you got a great nose for news. But, uh, you're also a little conspiracy-minded, now aren't ya, huh?”
Les Nessman
[played by Richard Sanders]: “I wouldn't say so.”
Carlson: “Come on, Les. Remember the way you broadcast Bing Crosby's death? ‘First Presley, now Crosby. Just a coincidence? I wonder.’"— WKRP in Cincinnati, Season 1, Episode 2, “Pilot: Part 2,” original air date Sept. 25, 1978, teleplay by Hugh Wilson, directed by Michael Zinberg
Truly, Les was a man
before his time. Think what he could have done today on social media and cable
news!
