you know what we're gonna do uh we uh we uh work here in this complex of buildings what
do they call it Radio City is across the street and this is uh Rockefeller Plaza Rockefeller
Center and Rockefeller Center is comprised of how many composed of how many structures
13 14 big beautiful Limestone buildings and right across the street on 49th Street I believe
is the Simon and Schuster building how can we have a shot of the Simon and Schuster building
up there we have a camera up in our offices there's the outside of our office we're going
into the researchers office right up there and this will give you a shot of the uh there
oh it's it's nightfall here in New York City well the kids have cleaned up haven't they
they're home for uh spring break now look at this see now if you can see over there
without directly looking into some of those windows I think you can tell that people are
still working and it's long past the time they should have been there so we thought
tonight what we would do is try and select one of those people and name them office worker
of the month now this thank you very much
this uh this gets a little confusing here because we can't look right into their office
because that's a violation of their uh office rights or something so we have to call over
there now I have a number let's see do I have it here do I have a phone number oh here's
the phone number right here next to the phone Paul a little dialing music so we'll call
and we'll see if we can't find somebody over there and try and get them to come to the
window now when they come to the window and wave then we'll tell them that they're office
worker of the month and we'll send somebody over to get them and we'll bring out Gene
and Roger okay here we go Paul that's beautiful what is that
I say Paul that's beautiful
here we go this should be Simon and Schuster I saw Mr Schuster earlier today he looks great
by the way yeah he's going to work in the building over there there's our first ring
now this should be Simon and Schuster right over there they're on the 13th floor of the
Simon and Schuster building we'll find out who's working late and we'll put them on the
air here and then we'll get him to go so you can see look at the activity of the city this
Nightfall newly here in uh okay that's nobody seems to be there and my Cold's coming back

call another number don't worry [Music] getting getting help from all over now if you see
Dave's eyes roll back in his head tell him to call another number okay I'm going to put
that on hold because you never know when you might need that number all right so the first
number is Chuck Scarborough NBC News Chuck by the way you can go home now
Paul if I explained this the thoroughly do you think well there's an office building
across that's right so I'm going to Schuster building here you can't look right in there
