I spent a few minutes on Youtube and found a lot of KOMO news clips from 1995 but none with those anchors. I still think it&amp;#x27;s authentic because it would be so hard to fake. If anyone really cared they could probably get someone at the TV station, which still exists (&lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;komonews.com&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;komonews.com&amp;#x2F;&lt;/a&gt;), to confirm that the clip is real.</text></comment>
