As God is my witness, here is the real story of WKRP in Cincinnati’s Thanksgiving episode
Read here for behind-the-scenes reflections of one of the funniest holiday sitcom episodes ever, WKRP in Cincinnati's Thanksgiving turkey giveaway. And true to radio history, it was an idea ripped off from countless other stations. The Johnny Fever character was based on Skinny Bobby Harper, who was once the morning man at Louisville's WAKY Radio before he migrated to Atlanta. Enjoy Les Nessman's live news report of turkeys plunging to the ground "like sacks of wet cement."

Drawing conclusions both left and right, black and white
The cartoon below from Joel Pett of the Lexington Herald-Leader created quite an uproar over the reference to Governor-elect Matt Bevin's children, four of whom are adopted African Americans from Ethiopia. MY RADIO INTERVIEW WITH JOEL PETT HERE --- Mr. Pett said he has no preconceived agenda for drawing future cartoons about soon-to-be Governor Bevin. The governor-elect issued a strong response: Statement from Governor-Elect Matt Bevin Regarding the Lexington Herald-Leader Cartoon Frankfort, KY - The following is a statement from Governor-Elect Matt Bevin regarding the cartoon by Joel Pett published in today's Lexington Herald-Leader: "They say a picture is worth a thousand words.

Charlie Brown heads to the pokey while his buddies hokey pokey
On the week that the new Peanuts movie hit theaters, the old Charlie Brown made some news. The guy who voiced Charlie Brown's lines in those classic animated holiday specials is now an angry, demented 59-year-old named Peter Robbins. He threatened a former girlfriend two years ago and is now pleading guilty to threatening two more people. Thank God that Lucy didn't marry this maniac. Please enjoy 10 hours of the Peanuts gang dancing to Vince Gueraldi's classic "Linus & Lucy" theme used in the TV specials.
Friday the 13th fascist or fool quiz
What say you, Jihadi John? Oh, that's right. The Karma train arrived on Friday the 13th. Never mind. But tell Osama we said hey! Duuuuuuuuude! Jason wears a hockey mask. You totally gave away your position to the U.S. military with that school girl face scarf. Enjoy the hand basket ride! Buh-bye!
A Harlan who sings like a Darlin’
The incredible Jordan Smith is crushing it on NBC's The Voice. The Harlan, Kentucky native is the inevitable winner of this season's singing competition. No one else comes close to matching his talent.
May the Oscars be ever in your favor
As the final Hunger Games film hits theaters, Jennifer Lawrence is rocketing forward with multiple major films ahead. I suspect that her next Academy Award nomination will come from the Steven Spielberg film where Jen plays kidnapped war photographer Lynsey Addario. That film, based on Addario's book "I Do What I Do," is tentatively set to launch production in 2016. That video is still hilarious and sad. It's hilarious to see Louisville's Jennifer Lawrence handle odd moments with grace and humor. And it's sad to see then 75-year-old Jack Nicholson hitting on a then 22-year-old in front of network TV cameras.
