Susan Burke interviews Jack Chase and Frank Avruch. Jack tells a classic story about forgetting his hairpiece one morning he had to go on the air.

 

 

Chet Curtis pops down to the set and over to the weather center on the side. In this segment, Dick Albert first shows how the weather forecasts are done. Then he interviews two legendary weathermen, Don Kent and Bob Copeland.

 

Of course, he shows us like every TV weathermen why you never wear green! Also, Chet tries his best to point to Boston but misses.
