00:02My favorite scene from It's a Wonderful Life is Jimmy Stewart sitting in the bar.
00:07It's just agonizing.
00:08You know, he's just going...
00:11If you're up there and you can hear me...
00:16Show me the way.
00:17I just so identified with Phil Hartman and Lea Thompson host the exclusive holiday showing of It's a Wonderful Life, Saturday on NBC.
00:24I've seen it exactly 145 times.

00:29Well, it's not over yet. In just 35 minutes, the Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
00:32Oh, Jay. He's a regular guy, just like us.
00:36Your local news is next.
00:37Your local news is next.
00:58This week, NewsRadio's very own Phil Hartman returns to host Saturday Night Live.
01:03Hello, I'm Charlton Heston. I'm here to tell you about a special friend of mine, Mr. Phil Hartman.
01:09Phil will be hosting Saturday Night Live the first time he has returned.
01:15Can somebody fix this thing?

01:28As an alien, think of Earth humor.
01:30Well, let's ask an alien.
01:33Welcome to Dr. Solomon's Analyzation of Humor.
01:37Lesson one. If I were to hit Harry on the head with this frying pan,
01:41and he does not get up, then you would not laugh.
01:44If, on the other hand, I hit him, and he pops right back up, then that is hardly funny.
01:52Harry?
01:53They're funny, and they're out of this world.
01:56Third Rock from the Sun, Tuesdays.
01:58Holy-
01:59Everybody!
02:04NBC proudly presents the Carnival of the Stars.
02:08Tonight, it's the cast of Wings and their hidden talents.
02:11I can change attire with my tongue.
02:13I have several hidden talents that I haven't been able to show on the show,
02:16but I really don't want to tell the folks at home about them.
02:19I would like to tell America that I can write backward.
02:22There. That says, just write something.
02:26Wings is moving to 830, 730 Central, following Third Rock from the Sun,
02:30beginning this Tuesday on NBC.
02:32Aliens from a distant galaxy, these are the days as the Third Rock turns.
02:38Dick was a born leader and looked great in tight leather pants.
02:42Sammy was a good kisser, but even better at the deadly art of self-defense.
02:46Tommy kept the others informed on all the hot eighth grade girls.
02:51And Harry, well, no one was quite sure why Harry was there.
02:56They were four strangers trying to make sense of life
03:00on the Third Rock from the Sun, NBC Tuesdays.
03:03The NBC comedy club has Jeff Boxworthy talks about the southern accent.
03:07Say, yo, the southern accent may not be the world's most intelligent sounding accent.
03:11I mean, none of us would want to hear our brain surgeon say,
03:15All right, now what we're going to do is
03:18saw the top of your head off,
03:21root around in there with a stick,
03:23and see if we can't find that dad burn clot.
03:26Like, no thanks, I'll just die.
03:29Hey, have you heard the one about Jeff Boxworthy?
03:31Coming to NBC Mondays this fall.
03:35Now let's laugh it up, cats, with Tom Rhodes at the NBC comedy club.
03:40I'm having a hard time working my ATM machine.

03:47when you're trying to look crazy so no one will mess with you while you're getting your money.
03:56I don't want nobody coming between me and my $20.
03:59Check out Comedy's Paraparent, Mondays this fall on NBC.

04:33Now, Caroline in the City's Eric Lutz remembers an NBC classic moment from Frasier.
04:38I'm the new station manager that Frasier hasn't met yet.
04:42He invites me to his house for dinner, and I think he's asking me out for a date
04:46because I'm gay and he doesn't know it, but everybody else does.
04:49So?
04:51So.
04:53So you can see where the confusion lies.
04:56You're cute when you're nervous.
05:03Well, I must be downright adorable now.
05:05Eric Lutz joins Leah Thompson in Caroline in the City.
05:08Now, NBC goes backstage at this week's Emmy presentation to salute Frasier,
05:12the winner of five Emmy Awards, including Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor,
05:15Best Director, Best Writing, and Best Comedy Series.

05:20The Emmy goes to Kelsey Grammer.
05:23They like me, they really like me.
05:25David Hyde Pierce.
05:26It's something I really want, I think.
05:29David Lee.
05:30What I really want to do is act.
05:32Does this mean I never have to work again or just that I'll never work again?
05:35I'm just really moved. Thank you very much.
05:37Yes! Yes! Oh, my God!

06:22Big fun. Okay, here's something we bet you didn't know.
06:29One of the stars of NBC's must-see TV Tuesday is a she-devil on wheels.
06:33In other words, a celebrity race car driver.
06:35Which one of these lovelies is it?
06:37Oh, the mystery.
06:38It's me, Crystal Bernard from Wings.
06:40I'm here at the Molson Indy Vancouver.
06:42Our top speed is about 115.
06:45I'm pretty scared, actually.
06:47This is the first time I've been quite frightened.
06:49This track is very fast.
06:50Racing is not what people think.
06:52They think it's a daredevil sport.
06:54It's a very concentrated, skillful sport.
06:57Put all your hair up in your helmet.
06:59In one hour, we'll find out how Crystal does in the race.
07:01Now, news radio's Dave Foley tells how his comedy troupe,
07:04The Kids in the Hall, was inspired by Jack Benny.
07:06Guys would hang out in the hallways of 30 Rockefeller,
07:09and they would shout out jokes to Jack Benny as he came into the studio.
07:13And if he liked one, he'd use it on air and pay them five bucks.
07:16And they would be called The Kids in the Hall.
07:19And that was why we sort of adopted that name.
07:21Hello again, this is Jack Benny talking.
07:23Your money or your life.
07:25I'm thinking it over.
07:27Don't miss Fraser's Kelsey Grammer as he salutes Jack Benny Thursday.
07:30And speech.
07:31And now a special message from NBC that's really out of this world.
07:37People of Earth, greetings.
07:40We have come from the farthest reaches of the galaxy.
07:43And boy, are my arms tired.
07:45On our own planet, we are without shape, sex, or age.
07:47But here we have assumed a human form so that we might walk among you.
07:50Study your ways.
07:52We will be landing January 9th on NBC, right after Wings.
07:55Do not be afraid. We will not harm you.
07:58Earth, rock from the sun, from the producers of Roseanne.
08:01It is our policy to present information in a straightforward manner.
08:05News radio!
08:06Furthermore, we will never resort to so-called subliminal or stealth techniques.
08:09Sunday!
08:10Such as flash frames.
08:11Aftermath about you.
08:12Backwards masking.
08:13Big move!
08:14Or hidden audio or video images.
08:15Come on, big fella.
08:16Get on this thing.
08:17Hey, I'm working here.
08:18Come on, big guy.
08:19Fine, you do it.
08:20Hey, we're a team here, right?
08:21Check it out!
08:22News radio moves to Must See TV Sunday.
08:24Right after Mad About You, starting this Sunday on NBC.
08:32Big fun!
08:33Okay, here's something we bet you didn't know.
08:34One of the stars of NBC's Must See TV Tuesday is a she-devil on wheels.
08:38In other words, a celebrity race car driver.
08:40Which one of these lovelies is it?
08:42Oh, the mystery!
08:43It's me, Crystal Bernard from Wings.
08:45I'm here at the Molson Indy Vancouver.
08:47Our top speed is about 115.
08:49I'm pretty scared, actually.
08:51This is the first time I've been quite frightened.
08:53This track is very fast.
08:55Racing is not what people think.
08:57They think it's a daredevil sport.
08:59It's a very concentrated, skillful sport.
09:02Put all your hair up in your helmet.
09:04In one hour, we'll find out how Crystal does in the race.
09:06Crazy.
09:07You start at the end of the show, but we just keep going earlier and earlier and earlier
09:10until you get to the beginning.
09:11So, in other words, you'll see, like, a God bless you.
09:13Bless you.
09:14And then, 20 seconds earlier...
09:16Achoo!
09:17You see someone with a lollipop, and it keeps getting bigger.
09:20Because we're going backwards.
09:22And we're one of the few people that can actually do their job backwards.
09:25Garbage men, funeral directors.
09:27There's no way that these people can work backwards.
09:29You have to watch it. It's very unusual.
09:31Miss Schindler's List, Sunday on NBC.
09:34The list is life.
09:37The story is about Schindler.
09:39We were in the background.
09:40We were the people who he tried to, some way, save.
09:44One man can make a big difference.
09:46Give a hope.
09:47We stick with him.
09:48Then we have maybe a chance.
09:50And we did.
09:51And we survived.
09:53To me, he was more than hero.
09:55He put his life on the line, and he saved us.
09:59Frasier on NBC.
10:01David Spade is...
10:02Dennis Finch.
10:03Mr. Finch.
10:04Is it cool in here, or is it just me?
10:06He's wise guy.
10:07The number one.
10:10He's slippery as a fish is.
10:13Sarcasm so delicious, Mr. Finch.
10:17Just shoot me.
10:19Finch, you want to get smacked.
10:21Tonight on NBC.
10:23So close, yet such a nerd.
