October 2 marked the 63rd Anniversary of the Tonight Show on NBC. Believe it or not, I actually have played a very minor role in the show’s success under Jay Leno.
It is not everyday that people you know appear on a national television show, but there they were on the Today Show Sunday morning. Part of the John Schmitt family from Quincy and Ursa just happened to go to the Today Show and be in the crowd for the Sunday broadcast seen on NBC Television nationwide and locally on WGEM-TV.
In a day when people are living from paycheck to paycheck just to get by it is hard to read a story like the one I read yesterday. Apparently NBC-TV is going to pay David Gregory $4 million, that's right $4 million, to not discuss his exit from NBC's 'Meet the Press' program. With that said, I wonder what Matt Schmidt must be thinking.
Tomorrow night's TV show 'The Voice' will feature the voice of Katie Tenhouse of Liberty, Illinois. Katie, the daughter of Art and Sharon Tenhouse, is a member of the Starbuck's Chorus that will be performing tomorrow night on NBC-TV.
