Sorry, channeling Sonny Elliott




But seriously, it might be partly foggy? That would be my interpretation.

in the competition between Detroit area TV stations, there was an Ad aimed at Sonny. It opened with a rotund clown pointing at a weather map and laughing maniaically, uncontrollably. Then the voice-over came on saying that some stations treated the weather as though it were a joke, but we don't.

Must have been a pretty effective commercial for me to remember it clearly after 50 years or so.

I don't remember the ad or competition you're talking about, but Sonny for sure made jokes and had a lot of fun giving weather reports. I think the actual weather reporting was sound, just his delivery was infused with entertainment and a lot of character. His weather map chalkboard with the big piece of chalk, and the way he would combine words together to describe the weather conditions were his trademarks that I remember so well. He was goofy and had fun with everything he did. He was a Detroit icon, I really liked him!

I remember he also had a weekly show called At the Zoo with Sonny Elliott where he would basically tour around and talk about the different exhibits at the Detroit zoo, and interact with the animals. I loved that show!
