WILLARD’S WORLD: NBC’s folksy Willard Scott, weathercasting from here for a few days to promote today’s 100th-anniversary opening of the county fair (B2), might have just pretended to stumble Thursday morning when he referred to South Coast Repertory as “Respiratory.” But the SCR people loved the plug. They’re having a great week. . . . The Meg Ryan movie “Prelude to a Kiss,” which opens today (F1), is based on a Craig Lucas play it commissioned and produced five years ago.
