Idea #62

The news team is broadcasting the news.

Ron
And now on to Champ Kind with sports.

Champ
Hey, sports fans. Whammy! No local sports teams in action tonight but the big news around the sports world is the National League MVP Award went out today and it was a tie. Keith Hernandez of the Cardinals and Willie Stargell of the Pirates shared the honor after having really good seasons both of them.

Ron
Champ?

Champ
Yes, Ron?

Ron
How can there be a tie?

Champ
Well, it's the voting.

Ron
But it's the most valuable. You would think there could only be one. Who did you vote for?

Champ
You have to pick the eight best and then rank them.

Ron
Who was on top of your list?

Champ
Keith Hernandez.

Ron
Fine, then Channel Four News will say Keith Hernandez is the MVP of baseball.

Champ
The National League.

Ron
Nope. Everything.

Champ
Everything?

Ron
Yup, baseball, football, golf, space flight, everything. I'll keep going.

Champ
Can we do that?

Ron
We're live on the news. We can do anything. Watch.

Cut to the control room.

Man #1
Should we cut this?

Director
Let's see where it goes.

Cut back to the news desk.

Keith Hernandez invented the free-range chicken.

Cut to Ron in the studio.

Ron
I don't know what that is but, "Thanks, Keith."

Brick
Keith Hernandez fu-

There is a censor beep and then a cut to a card reading "Technical Difficulties. Please Stand By." Music plays.

Cut back to the studio.

Ron
Thanks, Brick. Very graphic and unnecessary. I suppose I speak for everyone here at Channel Four News by congratulating Keith Hernandez on winning the MVP award for baseball and all the other stuff. Congratulation, Keith.
