From Tiny Acorns
I was channel-surfing after the storms blew through last night and happened on the end of this documentary about "The Steve Show". "The Steve Show" was a Little Rock tv station's teen dance program back in the late '50s & early '60s....predating "American Bandstand". Interesting show, especially the interviews with the famous (Bill Clinton, Wesley Clark) who remember watching it faithfully, and the not-so-well-known participants.
With one exception. One regular on the show credited his participation with getting him interested in the media as a career. You prolly know him. CNN's Bob Franken.
So the next time you see ol' Bob, remember he got his start jitterbugging on a little Arkansas tv station.
Kinda hard to imagine, isn't it?
