About The design of the Thanksgiving WKRP Turkey Drop T Shirt
On Thanksgiving Day in 1978, the WKRP radio station held the “First Annual Turkey Drop” featured in the episode “Turkey Drop.” The station planned to release 500 turkeys from a helicopter during this event.
The news anchor, Les Nessman, was assigned to cover the event. However, things went differently than planned. When the helicopter dropped the turkeys, instead of flying, they plummeted to the ground like heavy sacks.
Nessman was shocked by this turn of events and famously exclaimed, “As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly,” upon witnessing the turkeys falling like wet cement bags. This phrase became a humorous and iconic line in American television history.
The Thanksgiving WKRP Turkey Drop T-Shirt makes for a perfect gift for Thanksgiving. Despite being a media mishap, it’s a memorable one. It shows that there’s still joy in challenging situations, even when things are unexpected.
