20 Thanksgivings Ago

[GSWitch]

This Thanksgiving marks the 20th anniversary of what also turned out to be an early celebration of Valentine's Day.

Pat Sajak & Phylicia-Ayers Allen were the hosts of the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade that year.  Following the parade was NFL '85 pre-game, with the New England Patriots visiting the Detroit Lions.

During the pre-game, Ahmad Rashad (future Caesar's Challenge host) looked nervous & sweaty while working the game @ the Pontiac Silverdome.  Bob Costas wondered what's with his partner.  Then Ahmad asked Bob to relay a message to the woman known as Mrs. Huxtable, "Phylicia, will you marry me?"

Then @ halftime, they brought Phylicia into the NBC Sports studio & she smiled & answered "Yes!"

They got married in 1986 & divorced in 2001.

When Johnny Mathis visited Ahmad on Caesar, Johnny presented him with a boxed CD set for Phylicia since she like his music.

Or if you compare to seeing a glass of water either half empty or half full, the last new network daytime game show.

You know, I'd tell you to shut up while you're ahead, but you never were.

EDIT:  And you have no ****ing idea how to quote.

It's a JOKE, Zach. Try not to respond.
