When I visited NYC in 1977 I took the NBC tour. From NBC I took a cab to JFK for my flight home. I got in the cab and the driver asked me if I had just taken the NBC tour. Why, yes I had, I replied. The cab driver told me that he had once been a stage manager there. He went on to say that his dad was a producer who had done some shows there. I asked who his dad was. Bob Stewart, he replied.

At the time, Shoot for the Stars was taping in CBS studio 50.

Thank you, Randy. But my two points of confusion were actually:

1) Not realizing that Bob Stewart had been flung into the topic after the start.

2) Wondering what it was that Zach got "flat-out wrong", since one could certainly ride both the subway and the bus, especially at different points in one's life.

You see? Pointless, like I said.

So you're saying he also could've taken a cab to work.  <ducking>

For a minute there, I thought Mark forced Jonathan to get a real job.

Denver didn't have TV until 1952.

KOA's experiments at sending TV over 850 AM were a dismal failure.

[Ian Wallis]

And Denver didn't have TV until 1952. And when they did, they probably got WML? live at 830pm MST.

It probably did.  According to some old TVGuides, many cities in the Mountain time zone actually took the Eastern network feed well into the '60s.  So prime time in those cities actually started at 5:30!

Are we all clear? Or should we talk about Gene Rayburn and his use of a bicycle in the 1960s to ride to and from 30 Rock when weather permitted?

I recall Gene riding a bike onto the set during his intro on a syndie WML? ep...one wonders if that was the bike he rode into the studio. :-)

Gene actually received memos of reprimand for riding that bike in the halls at 30 Rock. That just motivated him to do more of it!!
