Found! NBC's Delayed Duds Turn a New Page

摘要

The NBC page has achieved a kind of mythic status in the popular culture. Long before 30 Rock and its peppy, earnest Kenneth (Jack McBrayer) established the caricature of the network's tour guides as a perpetually happy underclass of faithful servants, pages have been well known as the worker bees of NBC who sometimes rise to become TV stars (Regis Philbin) and captains of industry (Michael Eisner). And for decades, pages at the New York and Bur-bank studios have been easily identifiable by their iconic-and archaic-uniforms: blue blazer, grey slacks, tacky tie. All of that was supposed to change earlier this year. To celebrate the 75th anniversary of the program, NBC held a fashion show on the Today show, allowing viewers to vote on new, updated page uniforms designed by upscale clothing house Brooks Brothers. The winner was a sleek and stylish gray suit (skirts for the ladies).
