The Lou Gordon Program, WKBD TV

Lou Gordon, the man "with no cue-cards, no idiot boards, no re-runs; just plain, ad-lib conversation in which he told like it really was," interviews Gov. George Romney, when Romney indicated that he'd been "brainwashed" on Vietnam; which was universally acknowledged to have killed his chances at the U.S. Presidency. Also interviewed is Gov. George Wallace. The Lou Gordon Program originated "Hot Seat" style journalism. Interested in seeing more? Go to: http://www.gordomarketing.com/Lou_Gor...

Does anyone know if Lou Gordon's show was aired on any New York station? I can envision only two possibilities - WOR-TV 9 and WNYC-TV 31. WNEW-TV 5 would likely not have aired it due to their already having David Susskind, and I doubt WPIX 11 would've taken the show. (And I have read that other, non-Kaiser stations ran the Gordon show.)

I don't think the show aired in NY but I'm not positive.

Does anyone recall an interview that Lou Gordon did with a wrestler

around 1973. If so,who was the wrestler and what was said during the

interview ?

[gordov2]

Yes, the interview happened, but unfortunately I don't remember any of the details.

OH MY GOD! POST PLEASE! This guy was a Detroit Classic.

RIP Lou Gordon

[MrAccordionPimp]

It would have aired in NYC or NEWARK if they had a KAISER Owned station between 67-77

The guy who did the Brusier immitation was JJ's (Jim Johnson) morning sidekick George Baier. They were on WRIF, WLLZ (now AMP 97.1,) .and then on WCSX for a few years until the mid '90's when JJ and George went their separate ways.

I thought Bruiser was a classy guy by allowing Baier to copy his personna on radio. Pure class.

Thanks again for what you were able to recall.

This was really appreciated because info regarding

the fact that who was interviewed and what was said

was hard to discover because it took place several years ago

and the Kaiser network which carried Lou Gordon no longer exists.

There are some of Lou's interviews on the internet but not the one

with Dick the Bruiser. Thank you so much.

Dick the Bruiser was HUGE in Detroit. In fact, there was a member of the WRIF "morning team" at one time that specialized in a Bruiser voice/persona. As I recall, the interview was very light-hearted - Bruiser was his usual gruff self, but was also very personable and Lou seemed to be a fan. The only part I specifically remember is Bruiser describing his various injuries over the years and point out surgery scars on his body when Lou Gordon asked him if pro wrestling was "real."

Thank you very much for your helpful reply.

Should you recall anything about the tone or

content of the interview, please post. I was surprised to

find out that it was Dick the Bruiser as I saw him wrestle

live in Midwest cities though not in Detroit.

The DVD includes two *somewhat* edited interviews of Henry Ford II.

[Oriole Adams]

The wrestler was Dick the Bruiser, who was something of an icon in the Detroit area. I saw the original interview (my Dad never missed the Lou Gordon Program), but I don't remember a whole lot of the details...

[NotsoNutso]

Like his father before him, Willard Mitt Romney will never be president.

[elnick1000]

In the 70's when many predicted that this country was going to the far left, he predicted that there would be a backlash and that the country would not go to the left as people thought. Of course one might disagree with him depending on ones views, but I think he was correct with the election of Reagan and other things that have happened since. I remember his show well. He defended the guy who had Hustler Magazine, but on air said how he detested the guy.
