Retro Friday: "Under the Desk! Under the Desk!"

I wasn't even living in Los Angeles in 1987, but how can anyone forget the morning that then-KNBC morning anchor Kent Shocknek and weatherman Christopher Nance hid under the anchor desk during an earthquake aftershock. The best part? Kent urges the station's camera operators to do the same. Cut to wide shot of the studio -- the cameramen are still standing there, shooting the empty desk as Kent and Christopher hide.

Thanks to YouTube, we can now relive that great moment in local L.A. TV history. Even better, this is actually taken from an episode of "Late Night with David Letterman." Dave gently mocks Kent and Christopher... but doesn't have to say much, since their actions are pretty damn funny already.
