WAGA-TV Atlanta A.M. featuring drunken Jimmy Dean (1973)
Regional television at its best - and by best I mean worst. "A mass murder in Memphis. The result, six persons left slaughtered... first though let's check with our traffic and sports director." And then along comes intoxicated singer Jimmy Dean! "I played soccer last night. She opened her mouth and I socked her."
