Earl sitting motionless for 2 minutes waiting for the film or tape of the bus races to come on, appeared to be a parody of the time L.A. news anchor John Schubeck, near the end of one late night newscast, after seeing an item he'd read 10 minutes earlier, just sat there, not saying a word, for the remaining two minutes the program was on that night.
Thanks for the tip. I looked him up. Here's what Variety said about Schubeck. "John Schubeck died last week, penniless at age 61. In his prime, he was a $ 1 million a year anchorman in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles. He was also one of the most brilliant, yet downright goofy, denizens of the TV news fraternity - a man who, despite his considerable success, was absolutely convinced that what he did for a living was absurd and vaguely demeaning."

Taken from then-ABC affiliate WPEC CBS 12 in West Palm ✋🏻 Beach 🏝, Florida, in the wee hours of January 18, 1986, and originally broadcast 🔉 at 3:30 🕞 am Eastern.
Plus, Michael, from both 6:36--6:46 and 7:01--7:10, the two ✌️🏻 funniest 😄 scenes ever in that Melba's disco 🪩💃🏻🕺🏻 jeans 👖 commercial on SCTV 📺 NETWORK.

@davesmith3023 Really? NPR, MSNBC, CNN and the rest are any better?
@dizbang3073 Who puts "penniless" in an obituary? Isn't that a bit unnecessarily malicious?

Well, it's true.
I'm waiting.
I’m still waiting, Michael.
Who is Michael?
Temple B'nai Hill.
Would've been even better if Tony R. had been on the show from its start. Just my opinion.
Tony Rosato and Robin Duke brought the show down, literally.
