Antiques Roadshow’s amazing find
9/3/08What sort of treasures do you have in your attic? This Video of the Day comes from Antiques Roadshow. It’s a traveling show that appraises people’s hidden treasures.
Almost everyone has keepsakes that have been passed down through the family. Most people have no idea what these things are worth. This man certainly didn’t. He brought an old blanket to the Antiques Roadshow.
This blanket turned out to be something truly special. It was the most valuable thing to ever appear on the show. And it just may be a national treasure. You won’t believe what he had laying around the house.
Don LaFontaine—Saturday, we had a video about Don LaFontaine, who voiced movie trailers. The video put a face on the voice we’ve all heard. Many of his trailers began with his trademark, “In a world where…” You might remember his recent commercial for GEICO. Sure enough, it started with “In a world where…”
LaFontaine died Monday from an ongoing illness, according to his agent. He was 68.
