Quote:The Today show has had its fair share of fame seekers, one unique stunt transpired at the studio on Wednesday, August 2nd 2000. Suzi Greenberg, a local student and a fan of the Opie and Anthony "Shock Jock" radio show, went bare-chested during one of the customary live crowd pans. Suzi opened her jacket to expose here bare breasts as the camera did its customary crowd pan. Underneath her breasts was a large Opie and Anthony WOW (Whip 'em them out Wednesday) bumper sticker that earned her a reported $1000 from the outrageous radio show - Opie and Anthony were later fired for another unrelated FCC transgression which happened, ironically, at St Patrick's cathedral not 200 feet from the Today studio. Midtown sure is crazy.
In perhaps one of the most candid moments in the history of the Today show on NBC, during this event you will see Katie, who is attending the rather staid 2000 Republican National Convention in Philadelphia, silently mouth a shocked "Did you see that ?" and clasp her hands to her face in shocked disbelief as the mischief unfolds, all very much live on national TV . All the local anchor crew of Matt Lauer and Ann Curry could do is to stammer through a "uh, ooh, ah, ah, Okay" while Katie bites her bottom lip and grimaces. The FCC did not fine the Today Show for this.
