On 6 December (and in repeat on 7 December), I was on-air talent again for KVIE Public Television.
The programs were Roy Orbison Black and White Night – which incidentally was the same program I was on the air with back in September – and Victor Borge’s new 100 Years special. I am a huge fan of Victor Borge, so I jumped at the chance when I saw the on-air schedule for this pledge drive.
Here is a clip reel from the Borge program. It was an absolutely hysterical show, and you’ll see us laughing quite a bit after coming in from break. If you watched it live, you also saw many shots of the phone bank provided by Intel Corporation. I heard last night that the show was so popular, they might even be re-airing our “performance” during prime time. Pretty cool…
I saw Victor Borge on-stage near Chicago one cold winter in the late 80s. Me and my closest friends over 70 boarded a bus in St. Joesph Michigan and saw a wonderful performance. I and my friends were dressed to the nines for it… I had a sort of 50s style back then and it was during my slim era. I had previously only heard him via public radio, so being in person just added that whole new dimension.
