I was only in NYC one time during this phase, and dispite having almost ten cab rides, I only had the same two, Mr. Moviefone and Sally Jesse Raphael (“If you see a pair of red glasses, they’re mine.”)

In “The Avengers” they spoofed it by having a recording by The Wasp (Janet VanDyne) and of course on Family Guy they had David Leisure. (“Remember me? I was the nieghbor on Empty Nest? No? How about Joe Isuzu, that guy who lied all the time? No?! … crap…. Just buckle up.)

“STOP! IN THE NAAAAAME OF — safety!” Remember to buckle your seatbelt blah blah blah.

It was sung by one of the former Supremes, I think… Mary Wilson, maybe? It sounded like recording this PSA was her biggest break in decades.

I was living in NYC in 2003 and my only memory of it is one night (being stinking drunk) actually talking to the cab.

It was some woman talking about her Olympic Medals, and I was most dipleased with her.

I then decided that Dunkin Doughnuts at 3am was a good idea (which, with hindsight it was not).

I believe you’re right, jennif. That sounds right (if any of those could sound right).

Just listening to Dr. Ruth’s message was a bit… disconcerting. :roll:

I had one with Paul Sorvino, who didn’t do his Goodfellas accent…

I felt cheated.
