The voiceover announcer for WNBC's 5 o'clock newscast, Live at Five, was former Saturday Night Live announcer Don Pardo back then!

[@davidschifter97]

That's not Prdo. Pardo only did Live At Five. This announcer was Fred Facey.

[@thisguyhere6641]

@@davidschifter97 I know that.

Huh, interesting, Tony Guida in the anchor chair when they were still using the classic music and set color... nice!

I love the intro from the 1980s

[@ericsamuelson5656]

This was Tony's second time at WNBC. His first time was 1972-80 when it was News Center 4 before being traded to Channel 2 (he will return to 30 Rock by '86). If you wonder about Jack Cafferty, he was traded to Fox 5 to anchor Fox News at Seven.

Jack left in December 1989

[@sherryhannah498]

in the first opening was the voice over that of the late great Don Pardo????!!!...sounded like him someone tell me

[@bradleyelsken1886]

Cherilyn Hannen That's him all right

[@1thetvzone]

Never understood why they had an opening with lighting seems kind of stupid, but that me. Also didn't Tony Guida worked at WCBS as well?

[@michaelglickman1300]

Yup, Tony Guida did work for WCBS-TV as well. He moved to WCBS-TV sometime after "Live at Five" was cancelled, and he was reassigned to the morning newscasts.

[@chrisamon80]

Whatever happened to Jack Cafferty of Live at Five?

[@jessyleppert2]

Cafferty left WNBC in December 1989
