The Arthur Godfrey PSA
Arthur Godfrey is more or less forgotten these days, but it's hard to overstate how incredibly popular he was in the 1940s and 1950s. He was so popular, in fact, that President Eisenhower asked him to record a PSA alerting the country that we had just been attacked by the Soviets. Eisenhower figured only Godfrey could calm the country in such a horrible situation.
