Loading...Remember those awesome The More You Know public service announcements? Jersey Joe takes a look back and has a few of his own!
First released in September 1989, these public service announcements replaced One to Grow On PSAs that originally targeted children and offered life lessons. The first PSA featured NBC news anchor Tom Brokaw, now each features a different NBC star or news personality. The PSA can still be seen throughout the broadcast network’s schedule. Both Presidents George W. Bush and Barak Obama have recorded their own versions as well.

JERSEY JOE RECOMMENDS:
These PSA’s are great and are often parodied on late night and comedy shows, but it’s cool to see A list stars stopping for a moment to make sure the viewer has a better life. Have any of these ever made a difference in yours?
You can find a list of every celebrity who ever recorded on of these here. How many do you remember?
