“Was it real or was it staged?” That was the headline the next day in the Chicago press… You be the judge.
Larry Lujack (mornings) finds himself doing an unexpected second shift as Steve Dahl and Gary Meier (afternoon drive) wimp & limp out of the studio.
Seems ol’ Uncle Lar had had justa ’bout enuff of Steve’s on-air bad mouthing and went into the studio – while Steve & Gary were on the air – to ask him “why”. The astonished Les Grobstien (sports) went on record the next day saying this was “the reel thing”.
[MD Heleniak notes:] For the record, I edited this piece to play like a movie flashback. It starts with Lujack explaining how & why he was doing Steve & Gary’s shift. He then replays the start of the ‘hijack’ and after that we’re back in real time.
