During one of his improvised news broadcasts Robin Williams brings up Hanoi Hannah, calling her the "wicked witch of the north". Hanoi Hannah was the stage name adopted by Trinh Thi Ngo, a North Vietnamese female broadcaster who was made famous on both sides of the war for her thrice daily North Vietnamese English language propaganda broadcasts. While her carefully scripted broadcasts were intended to taunt and demoralize American troops, Hannah's broadcasts, containing misused American slang, bizarre cultural references, mispronounced words, and outrageous claims of imaginary NV victories were largely considered among GIs as a source of ridiculous entertainment.
