(c)1994 NBC News -- NBC Universal/Comcast; Nestle (current owner of Juicy Juice); Hertz Global Holdings; FedEx Corporation (owner of what's known FedEx Office); Sylvan Learning Center; Unilever;
January 25, 1994 (figured the date by searching the Television News Archive on the NBC Nightly News promo mentioned later) Today Show clip featuring host Bryant Gumbel's interview with then-Phoenix Suns forward A.C. Green (who was well-known by then for his promotion of sexual abstinence before marriage vs. the "safe sex" message). Beginning the piece is a rap video featuring Green.
Following are commercials for Juicy Juice; Hertz; Kinko's (now FedEx Office); Sylvan Learning Center; Country Crock Spreadable Sticks and an NBC Nightly News promo (part of a series of special reports called "America the Violent").
Which leads us to Bryant and Katie Couric referencing an early piece on that series and the question of whether drugs should be legalized -- which to the surprise of Bryant, Katie (and most of the viewers at home, I'd imagine); more callers suggested the legalization of drugs by a margin of over 3,000 calls. Teased is the question for this date was the question of whether young people arrested for serious crimes should be tried as adults
Closing the clip out is a spot for Rally's Hamburgers and a partial Summer's Eve ad.
