Friday night, 9:58pm: I hear the producer say over the RTS "Misty - Somebody tell Jennifer Zeppelin we're less than a minute away from the show!"
My head snaps up and I see Jennifer McRae half-way between me and the weather center. "Jennifer! Go tell Jennifer Zeppelin we're less than a minute away!"
Jennifer looks at Jennifer Miller standing across the producer pod from her. "Jennifer! You've got less than a minute! RUN!"
Me: "NO! Wrong Jennifer! Jennifer Zeppelin, ZEPPELIN!"
I'm not heard because Jennifer McRae is still yelling at a confused looking Jennifer Miller. I hear Jennifer Miller exclaim, "Me?! Now?!" She takes off running out of the newsroom.
I'm still yelling, "NO JENNIFER: WRONG JENNIFER. JENNIFER ZEPPELIN - RUN TO THE WEATHER CENTER, TELL JENNIFER ZEPPELIN WE'RE LESS THAN A MINUTE AWAY!"
Jennifer McRae "OH!" She starts running to the weather center as she's yelling after Jennifer Miller, "Wrong Jennifer - not you! You're fine! Not you!" But it was too late Jennifer Miller was long gone down the hall.
From I hear the producer, "Never mind, Jennifer is good."
"NO! Jennifer! Jennifer is now good! Don't need to..." I was too late, Jennifer McRae had rushed into the weather center to tell a perfectly prepared Jennifer Zeppelin that she had less than a minute.
She comes back out breathless. I just broke out in laughter. Then she was laughing with me.
The whole event took place in less than 30 seconds, but it seemed much longer. So much confusion with all the Jennifers!
