I Have a Baby and Ten Dollars...Now What?
Back in the mid-1970s, while visiting KYW-TV, actor Ted Knight - fully in-character as The Mary Tyler Moore Show's bumbling anchorman Ted Baxter - delivered a brief "news" update for channel 3. We find it a bit odd that a character from a CBS show would show up on the newscast of a local NBC affiliate (as KYW was at the time), but we suspect that it may have been a bit of promotion for the station getting syndicated reruns of The Mary Tyler Moore Show.

And oddly enough, the real anchor is Mort Crim, a longtime Detroit newscaster who appeared on a White Stripes song a couple of albums back.
