Salute to Johnny Mercer

It's one of those episodes that some of you guys maybe able to see, and some of you would not thanks to those irritating pledge drives that have been happening lately.

So here's some of the highlights from the show!

Whenever there's a full moon, people in 1970s clothes start singing....

There's also a surprise pop quiz first thing tomorrow....

....oh and the Semonski Sisters make their presence felt.
