Happy Thanksgiving from The Paley Museum! Before you and your loved ones gather around the table for turkey and shared sentiments of gratitude, visit The Paley Museum for a look at some of the most iconic, memorable, and hilarious Thanksgiving moments on television. Who can forget Bob Hartley’s attempt to order moo goo gai pan on The Bob Newhart Show, or the WKRP team's turkey drop (oh the humanity!) on WKRP in Cincinnati? And what about Rachel Green's dessert trifle on Friends and Snoopy's Thanksgiving feast? See these and so many more fun Thanksgiving moments in a conversation led by Paley curator Allison Kraft, featuring clips from the Paley Archive.
