BROADCAST HISTORY WITH POTSIE

In 1974, everybody wanted to be the Fonz. He got all of the girls. He could hit a jukebox and it would play songs for nothing. He'd slick his hair and stick out the thumb and say "aye."

Well, not me. I wanted to be Potsie. C'mon, he got to sing. I always thought he was under the radar with his coolness.

Fast forward to now, 30 something years later to today.

Anson "Potsie" Williams was on the morning show to perform "Splish Splash."

Why? Because I asked him to. Now, that's cool to me.

I mean, what do you think Henry "Fonzie" Winkler would say if I asked him to wear a leather coat on our show?

He'd tell me to sit on it.

Anyway, this morning, Potsie brought back a lot of great memories for us. He may not be as cool as Arthur Fonzarelli to you, but at least he's not Ralph Malph. Whoa!
