I work at a local TV station. We broadcast news, some religious programming, and some foreign dramas. An elderly woman called the station today and asked me the following question:
Her: "Can you help me? I'm looking for the name of an actor."
Me: "Can you give me a little more information than that, ma'am?"
Her: "Yes, this show aired about 6-8 years ago. It took place in Washington, DC. The commissioner who wore the fancy suits, do you know his name?"
Me: "..."
Her: "This isn't a stupid question, I'm not trying to mess with you. My friends and I are house-ridden, we're all on oxygen and none of us have computers. We play this game every day, you know the one with the actors names? Anyway, we can't figure out his name and it's been driving us crazy. Can you please help?"
Me: "One moment, please." *I Google 'TV show commissioner Washington, DC' and by some miracle I find the answer.
Me: "Was the show called The District?"
Her: "YES!"
Me: "Craig T. Nelson."
Her: "Oh my goodness, thank you so much, dear. You're wonderful!"
She called a random TV station to find an actor's name. It was so odd and so precious.
