| Ellerbee earlier in the '80s |
NBC
August 22, 1988
Talk Show
VHS
B
In the premiere of this late night show, in the former slot and studio of Ellerbee's Overnight, Costas and Ellerbee mostly talk about Jessica Savitch, but also about how Ellerbee thrived in a thin-blonde-favoring news environment. Some of the material will be familiar to those who've read her book And So It Goes (reviewed here: http://rereadingeverybookiown.blogspot.com/2013/03/and-so-it-goes-adventures-in-television.html) but it's good to hear her voice and her opinions. Costas invites her back for the next night, which I taped, although the reception was worse for some reason, so we'll find out tomorrow if there's enough intact to review.
