This is just an add-on to J's post about Saturday night and the whole Arch situation. Channel 5, which is our local NBC affiliate, interrupted SNL to cover the "breaking news." While the camera zoomed in on the observatory section of the Arch, Channel 5 began to air a live cell phone conversation with someone else who was stuck. This conversation made the seemingly unnecessary interruption worth it. The "victim", who I guarantee was having a festive night, said (and I'm paraphrasing) "We're doing great. We're all taking pictures and having a blast. Hey, why are you guys cutting into SNL for this? It's Justin Timberlake tonight. I called a buddy of mine a few minutes ago and he wants to see Dick in a Box." Channel 5 immediately ended the conversation and cut to the news desk. I rewound it a few times just to hear it again and again. -K
P.S. If you haven't seen Justin's Dick in a Box...
