Those are my favorite words in FOX6 broadcasting! I love the combination of live TV and FOX in the Morning's own Ruben Galvan. There no telling what is going to happen when we find out the answer each morning to "Where's Ruben?"
Quite often some TV gold is mined as Ruben puts himself into situations only Lucy Ricardo would face and the results can be just as hilarious. I was reminded of that tonight as I was digging through the archives and found this clip called, "Ruben Get's Stuck."
With a title like that, I knew I was in for some fun! Ruben was doing a live tease at the start of the show with the help of some automotive students and quickly discovered he needed more help than anyone expected.

 Ruben Gets Stuck 4/18/06
FOX 6's Ruben Galvan is at Clairemont high school hanging out with the automotive class. |
Of course, Marc Bailey was no help. He was doubled over in laughter and as always, teased Ruben mercilessly. But here's the deal. It's all in good fun. It's the type of ribbing you give to your closest friends...just televised.
What I love about Ruben is he puts himself into situations the rest of us would avoid. Swinging on a trapeze? No thanks. Hopping on the back of a rodeo bull? Nope, not for me. But Ruben does them all, and even faces his fear of heights on camera where people can gawk in amazement.

Ruben Walks The Catwalk
Ruben faces his fear of heights and shows us how much fun you can have at the Salvation Army Kroc Center. We even keep our eyes on him throughout weather and traffic on the 6's. |
Ruben remains imperfectly human instead of being your usual plastic, placid reporter. He's a real guy facing unreal situations and letting us watch. And everywhere he goes, he spreads joy. Thanks for all the great segments, Ruben!
