Good morning, Pat Sajak

The Military Channel runs movies now and then, with Lou Diamond hosting. The title of the series is annoyingly cute: An Officer and a Movie.

Diamond interviews a guest for each movie. The flick tomorrow night is Good Morning, Vietnam, and the guest is none other than Pat Sajak. Seems that Pat did a stunt as an Armed Forces Network radio announcer in Saigon during the Vietnam War.

Sajak actually discussed this gig in his now infamous "drunk" interview with Dan Le Batard. He really liked the work because he had his biggest audience yet. And it was easy to get used to the barbed wire and tanks in Saigon.

I doubt Sajak will bring up his supposed margarita habit with Diamond. Anyway, the Google image cache coughed up the picture of an absurdly young Pat with some of his Army broadcasting buddies in Saigon. He's pretty easy to spot, even after all these years.
