Existing comment:
Ron Burgundy may be the big screen's most popular news anchor, but television has also produced some memorable parodies of TV newscasters, from the buffoonish Ted Baxter to the animated Kent Brockman.
The Mary Tyler Moore Show, 1970-77:
Ted Baxter (played by Ted Knight): Pompous, dimwitted anchor for Minneapolis's WJM-TV.
Memorable quote: "Folks, I've just received a special news bulletin: 'You have something on your front tooth.'" |
