How well do you know the people you invite into your home through the television? The following are quotes taken from my interviews with the subjects of Snow Days: Ken Ackerman, Andy Carson, Carl Click, Mike Donahue, Jim Donovan, Pete Ferryman, Nancy Francis, Wayne Garcia, Paul Linnman, Mark Nelsen, Shauna Parsons, Ron Pedersen, Joe Sottile, and Matt Zaffino. Do you know who said what?
“And before I leave the classroom, I ask ‘do you kids want snow?’”
“The rain helps me appreciate the sunny days that much more.”
“I don’t understand why people have such strong feelings about me one way or the other: they don’t know me so how can they love or hate me?”
“I went into television because I figured I’d always wonder what might have happened if I didn’t. I did want to be a forest ranger though.”
“Buy me a nice bottle of wine when you make your first million, okay?”
“No oranges or browns. I don’t think I look good in them.”
“The whale.”
“I don’t believe in watching a lot of television.”
“I live two lives: news anchor and parent.”
“I’d say I’m pretty even keeled.”
“I like to laugh. Sometimes it’s a cover for when I don’t want to talk about serious things.”
“I’m young inside. Immature even.”
“I’m an average guy.”
“I’d say I’m average, right after cute and charming.”
“Will it snow soon? I could really use a snow day.”
