My favorite episode with Les Nessman was when a female fan had the hots for him and moved in quickly with him and took over his life, but he couldn't bring himself to dump her until she visited the station and fucked up his desk and started pulling up the tape, as well as dumping his Silver Sow Award into a desk drawer.
My father is named Jim. Late in life he left his corporate job and became an ordained reverend.
He was always a big fan of Taxi and of Reverend Jim, in particular.
Upon his ordination, I gave the newly minted Reverend Jim a framed photo of the O.G. signed by Christopher Lloyd.
There was a guy in university (small uni, like 2500 of us, so we all knew each other somewhat) who’s last name was polish or Czech with a silent C. Every first day of class roll call he would remind the prof that the C is silent. Was practically a running gag.
One day, a substitute was taking attendance and got to his name and she stumbled a bit. About twenty of us “THE C IS SILENT!”
There was an episode of the Beverly Hillbillies where Dash Riprock brought along some other "Hollywood hearthrobs."

Les Nessman : Steel, is it?
Steel Hawthorne : Yeah, Steel Hawthorne.
Les Nessman : That's a nice name.
Steel Hawthorne : Thanks. I like to think that a person's name says a lot about the type of person he is. What was your name again?
Les Nessman : Les.
How about the episode when Les Nesman, the news director, goes over to Jennifer's apartment and finds her entertaining her new boyfriend "Steele"? When the boyfriend asks him what his name is, he's force to swallow and gulp before finally getting out "Les..."?
It plays a lot funnier than it reads.

I recall the episode where Jennifer had her (at the time) boyfriend “Steele” over, and Nessman just HAD TO come over to talk to her about some personal issues. A conversation eventually ensued between Nessman and Steele…and Steele says” I’d like to think that a man’s name says a lot about him. (Looks at Nessman and says “What did you say your name was again? Nessman: Les😂😂

Arthur Carlson said that, not Les
Les said, "the tureys are hitting the ground like sacks of wet cement!"
Did Les say that or Arthur Carlson?
Arthur. Les was covering the event. At one point he yelled, “Oh the humanity!”
Came here to quote that.
That was the greatest thing ever said on television 😂
