Yes,

Timecaster

You're
tuned to The Time Channel -- all the time, all the time. We have late
afternoon over the Pacific Coast, turning into evening later. And later
tonight, the darkness associated with three in the morning over here should
give way to breakfast time by early tomorrow! And the forecast for tomorrow?
3:15 in St Louis... In Hollywood, lunch will last all day... and in Ottowa,
it'll be 1956. Thank you, and good night.

Monsters from the telethon enter, growling. ]

I'm
sorry, but I don't have the time!

And

instantly switches behind him to the Monsterthon phone bank. ]

Now,

can you send us twenty bucks by tomorrow? Heh heh heh heh!

1-800-555-STOMP-YOU! Yeah!
