THEY'RE ROANOKE'S FUNNIEST PEOPLE

Some Roanokers are coming to a television set near you on Sunday, when the ABC show "America's Funniest People" airs a couple of clips shot in the Roanoke Valley.

Vicki Bohon and Paul Mays, both of Roanoke, will appear in taped segments on the show, which airs at 8:30 p.m. Sunday on WSET (Channel 13).

Video crews from the show were stationed at Valley View Mall and the Downtown Market in mid-December and recorded the antics of anyone brave enough to subject their brand of humor to national scrutiny.

Both Bohon and Mays performed physical stunts - Bohon did a contortionist trick and Mays climbed up between two closely spaced walls.

Sorry to spoil the suspense, but neither of the Roanokers was flown to California for the show's taping, so it's a cinch that neither won any of the $15,000 in prize money awarded on the show each week. But hey, 15 seconds of fame is 15 seconds of fame.
