The classic “Turkeys Away” episode of WKRP in Cincinnati was based on a very unsettling real event. WKRP creator Hugh Wilson had a friend who worked for an Atlanta radio station that decided to toss live turkeys out of a helicopter for a Thanksgiving promotion. Just like the TV episode revealed, none of the folks involved with the stunt knew that domestic turkeys couldn’t fly, and a local shopping center was bombarded with turkeys hitting the ground “like bags of wet cement.” (“As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly!”)

Howard Hessman(Johnny Fever) also played on That 70's Show as the radio station manager when Donna worked there as "Hot Donna".
