WPIX Radio dee-jay Jerry Carroll posing with “Crazy” Eddie Antar, former owner of the famed Northeastern electronics chain Crazy Eddie. Antar hired Carroll, whose frantic pitches and fast-paced energy helped put the chain on the map with its unforgettable commercials.
Kristian Nairn (Hodor) is in New York City to promote his book. He dropped by WPIX-TV and spoke with Dan Mannarino and Hazel Sanchez.
Kristian's mom is the person who urged him to try out for the part of Hodor. Always listen to mum!
On a silly side note, WPIX-TV has a weekend anchor named Kirstin Cole. If Fabien Frankel ever writes a book, I'd be disappointed if Kirstin Cole didn't get to interview him on the book tour.
WCBS-FM 101 New York – Bob Dayton – July 1978
For some people, when they hear the name Bob Dayton, they automatically think of the the guy who was fired from WABC in 1965, when he commemorated the twentieth anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima, by playing The Crests “16 Candles.” It was an unfortunate gaffe.

A Pennsylvania pastor's sermon was interrupted Sunday when an armed man pulled out his gun during church service and tried shooting him.
A livestream of the service at Jesus' Dwelling Place Church in North Braddock captured the moment Bernard Junior Polite, 26, walked toward the front of the church and pointed a gun at Rev. Glenn Germany as Germany was in the middle of his sermon.
Germany can them be seen ducking behind his pulpit as church Deacon Clarence McCallister jumps Polite from behind and tackles him to the ground. Germany and McCallister then wrestle the gun out of Polite's hand. Pennsylvania State Police said the gun had jammed and failed to fire.
“He pulled the gun; it clicked,” Germany told WPIX-TV. “You heard him shoot it. God jammed the gun so the bullet didn’t come out.”
About 25 parishioners, including Germany's 14-year-old daughter, were in attendance and witnessed the attempted shooting, police said. Polite was not a congregant of the church, officials said. According to court documents, he wandered over to the church around 1 p.m. Sunday after hearing music coming from there.
Polite said voices in his head told him do it and that he planned to shoot Germany and “wait to be arrested” so he could go to jail and clear his mind, according to court documents.
“He said the spirits were in my mind,” Germany said. “They got in my mind and told me to shoot the pastor.”
