Hot Slut Of The Day!
Willard Scott!
Willard Scott was already HSOTD 8 years ago, but I’m paying tribute to him again, because he’s retiring after being in the TV game for approximately 4,500 years. Willard Scott was Today’s weatherdude for 16 years before he semi-retired and was replaced by fellow mess Al Roker in 1996. I don’t ever remember watching Willard when he was a full-timer on Today, but apparently he gave a few train wreck moments throughout the years. NBC once told him to wear a toupee to cover up his bald head and he did it, but only sometimes. So on some days he’d have a beaver napping on his head and on other days he’d let his bald head breathe. Willard Scott was the original John Travolta. And in the late 80s, Bryant Gumbel wrote a memo to the staff about how Willard Scott’s tackiness and clown antics were killing the show and that crap got leaked to the media.
After Willard semi-retired, he filled in for Al Roker every now and again, and eventually he got the best job at Today. For two days a week, Willard wished the centenarian viewers of the show a happy 100th (or more) birthday and it looked like he did it from his front lawn. But after years of working 10 minutes a week (tops), 81-year-old Willard is fully retiring. Willard pretty much delivered the NBC peacock, because he’s been on the network for 65 years including 35 years on Today. Today was his last day on Today, and honestly, the entire show should follow him out the exit door because crazy ass Willard IS Today!
But well, maybe Willard will come out of retirement in a couple of years to recreate the role he claims he originated: Ronald McDonald! Here’s Willard at work as Ronald McDonald and this commercial was later used by doctors to treat patients with severe constipation. Just one look at Willard’s terrifying and janky Ronald McDonald can make a trick caca themselves.
Oh, Willard Scott, you aren’t going to be on TV regularly anymore, but you’ll forever live in the deepest and darkest parts of our nightmares thanks to that horrific shit.
