Video Vault: Frog hypnosis and frog fashions on the Morning Exchange

CLEVELAND - For its 27 years on the air, the Morning Exchange dealt with topics ranging from infidelity to frog hypnosis and that variety contributed to the show’s success.

Yes, I said frog hypnosis.

Professor Bill Steed hypnotizes frogs to help their self-esteem and to be better jumpers.

If hypnotizing a frog isn’t enough to pique your interest, he has a frog lift weights and another does pull ups.

He also dresses them up like famous people. This Morning Exchange appearance has frogs dressed as Cathy Lee Crosby, President Ronald Reagan, Jerry Reed and Dolly Parton.

Randi Hall and Fred Griffith can’t contain themselves while enjoying the antics Steed puts his frogs through.

Most likely, Prof. Steed’s visit to the Morning Exchange was at least two segments long. When it was saved to a compilation tape, it was edited down the way you see it in our video player.

Ribbit.
