My wife's latest TV extravaganza: the NBC Morning Show!

[thewayne]

I still think her Mythbusters 2008 appearance was a bigger get, or at least cooler, but this probably had a larger audience share. This was the lunar eclipse taping from last month. It aired this morning, one of her co-workers sent us this URL. I was in the control room when they had Harry press the green button and we were making the joke about 'pew pew' noises. It was actually a joke about NPR's Wait Wait Don't Tell Me radio show and the original score keeper, Karl Cassel's inability to do sound effects. His laser blast was him saying 'pew pew'.

Coolness.

(I loved Karl Cassel.)

Karl was pure awesomesauce.  Bill is good and quite awesome in his own regard, but it's hard to beat the original.
