Report Alleges Yanni, John Stossel, Same Person

The Acropolis, Athens, Greece - Fresh off of his recent tour, new-age megastar Yanni is being met with a brash new report out of a Washington, D.C.-based civilian watchdog group that claims Yanni and ABC News anchor John Stossel to be the same person.



"It's simply not true," says the mustached Grecian, "I do not think Mr. Stossel can play a 3,000-year-old Armenian wind instrument or dance in front of a stack of keyboards."

It's a good argument, but some people aren't buying it. "I've never seen John Stossel at a Yanni concert," says a visible shaken Norma Jo Nelson who has been to over twenty Yanni shows in her life, "come to think of it, I've never seen them both at the same place."

The allegation is exactly the type that commonly fall prey to the journalistic Stossel on his usual "Give me a break" expose-styled pieces on 20/20. A preliminary inquiry as to whether Stossel has ever done an interview or news story on Yanni and/or new-age music has turned up nothing, leading some viewers to believe that perhaps John Yanni-Stossel is the one who should "Give it a break" and stop lying to his fans by leading a double-life as a quasi-music/television star.
