The Contest Nobody Could Win
Announcing a contest held by WKRP during his deejay shift, Johnny (Howard Hesseman) makes a potentially disastrous slip of the tongue, declaring that the 50-dollar grand prize is $5000–which, as Andy (Gary Sandy) ruefully points out, is the station’s contest budget for the entire year. Hoping to save the day, Venus (Gary Reid) conjures up a contest that will be impossible for anyone to win; alas, he soon finds out that in this day and age, nothing is impossible. Featured in the supporting cast are two of Hollywood’s best–and most eccentric–character actors, Vincent Schiavelli and Tracey Walter., Johnny accidentally offers listeners $5000 instead of $50 as a contest prize. Andy: Gary Sandy. Carlson: Gordon Jump. First Don Pesola: John Wheeler. Second Don Pesola: Tracey Walter. Jennifer: Loni Anderson. Les: Richard Sanders. Herb: Frank Bonner.
