NewsCenter 4 Gag Tease

Jim Hartz and Jim Van Sickle deliver this special news report detailing the divorce of the President and Mrs. Nixon. The report, however, is completely false – it is actually part of an NBC gag reel from 1974. It's a credit to the newscasters (Van Sickle in particular) that the report is delivered in a completely deadpan fashion. Other than the story, this is an authentic example of how NewsCenter 4 appeared in the early 1970s.
