Anne has been on the air during Morning Becomes Eclectic since the Winter Pledge Drive started with Jason Bentley, and he joked about Josh Groban, a known fan of her show, writing a jingle on her behalf as a response. The joke went on all week, including with a tweet from Anne requesting a “classical rap” from the artist, who has sold 24 MILLION albums worldwide in his career.
We all figured it was a longshot and a fun joke until this morning when Jason surprised Anne by playing a musical tribute from Josh on the show!

She was absolutely stunned. And speechless! A first.
It was a beautiful thing. Thank you Josh!
