[QuadList] Message from George MIller..............re: Questions

[Kevin Segura]

George:

To address your 2nd & 3rd questions:

1)  There's at least one Playhouse 90 quad left... if I recall 
correctly, its "The Days of Wine & Roses".  Hopefully, some of the other 
guys here will know of more.

2)  There is a 23-minute segment of the Paar "Tonight Show" known to 
exist on tape.  It's an excerpt from the December 2, 1959 program, 
featuring a visit from CBS's clown-in-residence, Red Skelton (who was 
actually violating his exclusive CBS contract by appearing on Paar's 
show...)!!  A representative of NBC once told me they had plenty of 
Paar-era videotapes, but I don't know of anyone who's actually seen any 
of them.  Again, perhaps the folks here will know...

And I'm with you-- I think these guys are gods, too... what terrific 
work they do!

- Kevin
