Description: Here's a neat promo for NewsCenter5 on WMAQ Channel 5, one of a series where "regular people" out and about in the city of Chicago run into various WMAQ-TV newscasters and have trouble recalling their names.
Featuring Edie McClurg as "the excited fan". (You might remember her from such films as "Planes, Trains & Automobiles", "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" and a ton of other TV and Movie appearances and voiceovers)
This aired on local Chicago TV early Sunday, May 14th 1978 during the 1:10am to 3:00am timeframe.

I knew a girl in college who was named Jorie after Jorie Lueloff. She was sweet but not very bright, and a number of us took turns helping her get through a course, a task that became known as Jorie duty.
