Remember when he was the weather clown on KFMB TV in the late 80's?
I do.

So do I. Where does KYW get the idea he was a main anchor?

I remember too. And it's called "padding your resume"

Here, let me try: "Did I ever mention that I programmed KHJ, KRLA and KFRC? All at the same time?" [ahem] ...so, was I convincing?

I actually saw him do stand-up comedy at the comedy club in Oceanside, California right after he was dropped by KFMB. I distinctly remember that part of his routine had to do with him not being at channel 8 anymore and how there's two categories of people associated with the station: 1) Current employees who agree with Ted Leitner, and 2) Former employees who disagree with Ted Leitner.

Larry did a standup act after his last broadcast, too. I remember it was a very bitter monologue and not funny.
