Koppel Yankers
Phone prankers continue to embarrass news outlets while covering live events, yet these networks can't resist putting unscreened callers on.
Ted Koppel was pranked last night during ABC News' coverage of the east coast blackout, although as you can see and hear [here], it doesn't seem like Ted is even ever aware.
The prankster, who claims to be "Bob Dobbs" from the New York Transit Authority, manages to work in a plug for his website, thankyoufortakingmycall.com, a stunning four times.
On the site, "Bob" actually sells videos of his prank phone calls to various news outlets both local and national. The Koppel goof appears to be his most impressive stunt yet.
