It's strange, almost everybody agrees that episode was hilarious. I
loved WKRP, but I never found that one funny.

I *think* his whole bit is paraphrased from that Hindenburg reporter,

Yep, I'm familiar with it. You know I lived in base housing in Lakehurst,
NJ. It was converted to housing but was originally the waiting station for
the arriving passengers of the Hindenburg. The field where it crashed was
across the street. Go figure
