The TV News Anchor Who Brought Down the House-Unproven!

The founder of TruthOrFiction.com, Rich Buhler, is a veteran of 40 years in broadcasting.
He says this story has made the rounds for years and that he has heard it attributed to TV performers in Los Angeles, Seattle, and elsewhere.
If could have happened, but we’ve never really gotten a first-hand report of it or documentation from a tape of a broadcast.
