"Telephone" Video Proves That NPR Voices Are Attached To Bodies
By James Brady RyanMay 7th, 2010, 2:59 pmComments (6)Why, Voice of Nina Totenberg, what a totally real and corporeal body you have! I'm not sure exactly the "why" or the "what" of this video — from what I can tell on the YouTube description, it was just for funsies. And it's called a spoof, but as Gabe from Videogum pointed out, they're not reeeeally using that word correctly. But there is one important reason why I'm posting this here, and it first appears around 00:17.
Um... did anyone know Ari Shapiro was such a hottie? Because this will really put a spin on the way I listen to Morning Edition.

Robert Siegel looks EXACTLY like I imagined.
The hosts said that this was inspired by the spoof video for "Telephone" that was created by soldiers in Afghanistan (which was the subject of a story on "All Things Considered").

Didn't Scanner used to be about sex? Now it's all Lady Gaga, all the time. The only thing less sexy than Lady Gaga is public radio nerds imitating Lady Gaga. Bring back Em and Lo or Grant Stoddard or that casserole girl...
re: Ari Shapiro. Yes, I was grooving to the video until he came on, and then I was all, "Hello! What have we here?"
So that's what NPR looks like from the inside.
I'll second the votes for Em and Lo, and for Grant S.
