Frivolous question about North American news reporters
In the show South Park, whenever thye have footage of a reporter on the show, they always sign off their report with "back to you Tom" or something to that effect as a way of crossing back to the studio broadcast.
Also in a few transcripts of Bill Hicks, (see my signature) he does this again, as my signature is about a positive drug story that could be read out by a news reporter?
So, are there a lot of Tom's as reporters in North America? or some popular news anchors called Tom. I don't know if Tom is a common name but in a few instants i've seen, it's become a sterotypical reporter type name. Since my name is Tom, i was somewhat curious?
