Someone needs to give that man a tv show, where he has to interact with folks while keeping that announcer characterization up. I can just imagine him giving a promo for his next bowel movement.

Yeah, and does he use that voice when he makes love to his wife?

Good Morning Don LaFontaine
During part of the piece, he follows the reporter around commenting on what the reporter is doing... it's pretty funny.

People whose speaking voices I'd love to have:
1. Don LaFontaine
2. Harry Callas (Philadelphia sportscaster)
3. Gregg Berger, the guy who did the voice of Cornfed on "Duckman"
4. Emo Phillips (kidding!)
5. Ryan Seacrest (doubly kidding!!!)
6. John C. McGinley, Dr. Cox on "Scrubs"
