September 26, 1960 - December 28, 1962 Jack Linkletter interviews Bud Abbott. Here's Hollywood. December 07, 1962. NBC-TV net audio. Jack Linkletter interviews Bud Abbott at his home in Woodland Hills, California. This one on one interview was the only one Bud Abbott is confirmed to have ever given (detailed) on television. Recorded off the air by Phil Gries who is responsible for its existence as a broadcast record. Most all of the over 1000 Here's Hollywood interviews, originally recorded on 2" Quadraplex Video Tape were erased after they were used/telecast for broadcast. Abbott discusses his 8 year old $750,000 tax audit and how he finally paid every cent back to the government. He states, "They now owe me money." Also discussed,his 25 year partnership with Lou Costello, how they originally got together when each were working in burlesque with different partners. Abbott reflects on his Dad who worked for Barnum & Bailey, his mother who was a bareback rider in the circus, why he and Lou broke up as a comedy team (Bud states that it was not his idea but Costello's to go their separate ways, and is not bitter about the breakup). He reminds us of how their famous "Who's on First" routine (its play on words) was taken from an old minstrel routine, how they came up with other routines, and the fact that he and Lou were voted into Cooperstown Hall of Fame. Bud Abbot discusses the break up of Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis, and the fact that he never drove his own automobile. He discusses his new alliance with partner Candy Candido.

#13908: BARRY GRAY INTERVIEWS, THE
Order1962-12-12, , min.
Barry Gray was an American radio personality, often referred to as "the father of talk radio." His late-night New York City radio talk show was carried by WOR radio and then later by WMCA. Barry Gray returned to WMCA in 1950, and stayed there for 39 years, refining the talk show format still utilized today. During the 1960s, he was in the odd position of having an 11 p.m.-1 a.m. late-night talk show on a station otherwise dominated by Top 40 music and the youth-targeted "Good Guys" disc jockey campaign. But for teenagers who kept their radios on into the night, Gray's show was a window into the high-brow New York culture of the 1940s and 1950s. Today's topic: The Playboy Club opens in New York City. David Susskind, Hugh Hefner,(owner of the Playboy Club) Barry Gray, and Jackie Gleason discuss the opening.

"Voice of Firestone," which began on radio in 1928, was a Monday-night perennial for more than two decades before coming to television in 1949; for the next five years it was simulcast on NBC radio and television, until a dispute between the sponsor and the network over the Monday time slot led Firestone to shift the program to ABC. The half-hour musical series presented all kinds of music, but emphasized classical and semiclassical selections. Each week a guest celebrity was featured, and for many years the principal guests came from the Metropolitan Opera Company. The Firestone Orchestra was conducted by Howard Barlow, and the show was hosted by John Daly during its years on ABC; Hugh James was the announcer. "Voice of Firestone" was seen as a series of specials from 1959 until 1962; it returned as a weekly series in the fall of 1962 for a final season (September 30, 1962-June 16, 1963).1963-01-20, WOR, 49 min.
