           JOHNNY CARSON AND ME!

      This is "TV Talk Show Host Day!"
      It's always observed on Johnny
Carson's Birthday. Some of you may
remember him hosting a Talk Show on
NBC a few years back! Guess he did
pretty well!
      While most of my 60-year broadcast
career was spent as a reporter I began
hosting and producing a Talk Show for
Electric City Television not long after
I left the news beat.
       My show is a bit different than the
ones that followed in Johnny Carson's
footsteps!
         I concentrate on promoting
upcoming public events or public
service agencies that offer help to
the community.
          I don't offer a lot of comedy
although I suspect my description
of the big band aid on my finger
last week as being the result of a
"Boo boo" may have prompted a
smile or two.
          Those big network shows
are very scripted. Mine is a lot
more ad lib. Like dealing with
the fire alarm that sounded 5 minutes
into our recording session this week!
           I'm glad we didn't have to
evacuate! Our mic and camera cords
won't stretch out into the street!
           Anyhow I am, in my own
very small way, a part of that unique
group entitles to observe TV Talk Show
Host Day.
           Maybe I should find an announcer
to open my show with..."And now,
Heeeeeeeeeeeeeer's David!"
             Hope you'll watch mine
sometime and that all your NEWS
is good!
