... if only as a lesson to appreciate the red and yellow idiot we have now. It used to be worse, kiddies. Much, much worse.

Willard Scott's best work came not as the Today show weatherman or as Ronald MacDonald, but on the radio in Washington. He and Ed Walker combined for a long-running show called "The Joy Boys," where they did all sorts of hilarious skits with a charming, wry sense of humor; they were sort of a D.C. equivalent to Bob and Ray. Thankfully, many of their shows were recorded and can be found online; they are wonderful. (Ed now hosts "The Big Broadcast," an old-time radio program, from 7 to 11 each Sunday night on WAMU-FM in Washington, where you can hear the likes of "Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar," "Dragnet," "Gunsmoke" and other classic series.)
