renegade-looking team. but over the 25 years, the anchor teams have all sort of taken the dna and interpreted it, but it's still unlike anything else on -- yes, it's unlike anything on either broadcast or cable. >> let me ask you about the first show. there were a number of firsts back then. and lisa, sports was also a part of that first show. >> lisa and sports were foreign on that program. >> do you remember who won the world series back in 1992 or the super bowl? >> on the tip of my tongue. i can't. >> 30 seconds on sports. >> no, only lisa. aaron ad libbed sports. it was hill airous. lisa didn't. we actually had tapes couriered down from espn which abc just

projection is if you were to do that for the last 25 years, you could definitely prove global warming, because the cities were fixed. the temperatures were real, and it's so different than the dow jones. >> there you go. >> a man with a premonition. >> if you need to know -- >> now if only you can explain the london bus thing, but we're out of time. we'll be back. more celebrations coming up.
