Interesting.

In the year 2000, there was a forwarded e-mail I received with the title "Do You Trust Your Hotdog Vendor?", and had a photo below, except the middle hotdog was the vendor's cock.

RIP.

He auditioned to be one tin soldier but at least he got to be a drama teacher.

RIP.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WKRP_in_Cincinnati

"WKRP premiered on September 18, 1978 on the CBS television network and aired for four seasons and 90 episodes, ending on April 21, 1982. Starting in the middle of the second season, CBS repeatedly moved the show around its schedule, contributing to lower ratings and its eventual cancellation.

When WKRP went into syndication, it became an unexpected success. For the next decade, it was one of the most popular sitcoms in syndication, outperforming many programs that had been more successful in prime time, including all the other MTM Enterprises sitcoms.[6]

Jump, Sanders and Bonner reprised their roles, appearing as regular characters in the reboot series, The New WKRP in Cincinnati, which ran from 1991 to 1993 in syndication. Hesseman, Reid and Anderson also reprised their roles as guest stars."
