Check out this video my sister just tweeted that is truly hysterical:
1994: Bryant Gumbel and Katie Couric trying to make sense of this new thing called the “Internet.”
Oh and BTW @katiecouric has come a long way on this “computer billboard” hasn’t she?
UPDATE. Ha. great call on the @ sign, Peter! via Peter Feld: Four great things about this video:
- The Today Show breaks the fourth wall.
- Likely the first email address NBC ever broadcast was “violence@nbc.ge.com”
- Their @ sign is actually a small “a” inside a closed circle.
- “You don’t need a phone line to use the Internet?” “No, no, apparently not.”
Also, Bryant is a total jerk in this video. Do you think it’s because he’s young, thin and handsome still? Also #2, wtf was happening in L.A. this month? quakes?
