Did I just dream this or did we in the US have a president that had a colonoscopy and they broadcast the video on the nightly news? I swear that happened with Reagan or Bush or possibly Clinton but I can't find anything about it.
I thought your news was supposed to report on all the shit that your president was doing?
Katie Couric televised her colonoscopy in 2000! (Piped)
What a lovely thing to be willing to do. I’m honestly really touched that she values reassuring others over her own privacy.
Today she could have paid for the procedure by posting it on OnlyFans.
Wasn't she only like a vice president or something though?
Famous news anchor :)
Not a president/prime minister or anything important, but I think a celeb had a smear test done on a popular morning show here in the UK. Unless I’m also dreaming.
I guess I dreamed it. It wasn't Katie Couric because I was an adult when that happened. I remember being a kid at home and seeing the video of what looked like a tunnel but it was video of someone's colonoscopy.
What I did find was that Reagan had polyps removed and they basically showed a diagram of a person's digestive tract on the nightly news and Reagan's handlers were embarrassed by that. Maybe one station also showed the video through a random person's butt tunnel to go along with it or something.
