Those of us on the Good Morning Indiana crew had some light-hearted fun this morning at the expense of our colleague, Todd Wallace.

When I walked out to the set this morning, I couldn’t help but notice that the back of the male anchor chair was broken.  Dan told me he received word that Todd fell out of his chair during the 11 p.m. newscast.  Thankfully, it happened during a commercial break. ( Imagine the YouTube hits he could have received!)  At any rate, Todd is o-k.    We found out that Todd and the evening crew laughed about it last night on the air, so we felt comfortable talking about it this morning.  Of course our resident funny guy, aka Tom Davis, decided to take our good-hearted jabs to another level.  At the end of the show, Tom proudly displaced Todd’s official 11 x 14 photo, complete with two bandages on Todd’s forehead.

In the midst of all the bad news these days, we think it’s good to take a breath and have a little fun during the show.  Another hilarious moment happened when I read the story about watermelons.  Apparently a Texas A&M study found watermelons could have the same affects as Viagra.  I guess the line that really got Dan and Paul was when I said the main ingredient in question is in the rind of the fruit. Scientists are working on a way to breed melons and get the ingredient in the fleshy part.  Perhaps Tom had the best line of the morning.  He said you could have watermelons at your July 4th picnic and then get ready for the fireworks.

Needless to say, we have an interesting sense of humor on the morning show.  Perhaps it’s because we don’t get a lot of sleep.  Perhaps it’s because news people sometimes see the world a little differently.  We hope that you see the humor during the lighter moments of the show.  Who knows?  We may have you laughing so hard, you fall out of your chair.
