Eureka by David Lockhart

I was looking through my old tapes yesterday and came across some "classic" video segments I wrote and produced for the emmy award winning show "Internet Tonight." Now through the magic of the internet we can see them all over again for the very first time.

Here is one of my first segments about a man named Steve Corbett who spent his free time helping people find their lost wedding rings in the surf. shot in beautiful Maui Hawaii. Hosted by Scott Herriot and Michaela Piererra.The kid on the beach is my nephew who is now 6 feet

Interent Tonight X-games 200 segment shot in San Francisco CA.
featuring: Lugestein, Gwen Stafani, No Dought, Man show hosts, Jimmy Kimmel and Adam Carolla, Andy Dick, Jenny from Survivor, street luge, espn, skateboarding, bmx, waterskiing, mountain climbing, street uger dennis durant, travis pastrama motorcorss champion, yahoo sky surfing team gold medalist brian rogers and stevek Klaus, street luger beatle jarvis.

nternet Tonight (1998 - October 1, 2001[1]) was a television program on the cable network ZDTV (later known as TechTV, now known as G4). The show combined the "effervescent moxie" of Michaela Pereira with the "dry wit" of Scott Herriott,
to bring the viewers the latest in Internet trends, humor, and news.[2] Due to the production value it was called the "absolute slickest show [TechTV] had" but was canceled when "Paul [Allen] took a dislike to the show ... and just killed it"[3]
A daily, half-hour show, it was on the launch schedule for ZDTV[4][5], and strove to be "the show of record about the Net."[2] Segments included Strange Sites, Incredibly Useful Sites, and Home Sweet Homepage. The collection of these links were amassed into an archive called The Big List and on each show Scott's trademark was to yell 'THE BIG LIST' at its first mention.[6] The show had contributing correspondents, most with their own dedicated segment:[7]
The Surf Guru - ZDTV'S night watchman and self-proclaimed net expert.[8]
Meghan Marx - the host of Love Online with Match.com[9]
Liam Mayclem - the Music Online reporter[10] and
Roving reporter SuChin Pak[5]

loha,

I wanted to know if you were the man who produced the Steven Corbett AKA Metal detecting guy on Maui. If so could you please contact me.

Aloha David,

Yes I am. Hope all is well with Steve. I haven't heard from him in a long time. From your profile pic it looks like you might be a ring collector as well?

Aloha,

I'm a service on Maui. Just like Steve i too help return lost items back to there rightful owners! Please check out my website www.lostringmaui.com I have been trying to get in touch with Steve but it seems that his e-mail is no longer in service. I have to say that you did an amazing job on Steve's story. I started my company about 7 years ago and have recovered over 300 items for clients. There is another guy on Maui that knew Steve and said that he moved back to California? I never knew Steve but from his story he seems to be a great guy. Thanks again!

Mahalo, David Sheldon ( Dave's Metal Detecting)

Thanks, I appreciate it. It was a great show to work on. One of the best times I've had. Awesome people.

[ShermerIllinois]

Thanks for uploading this. If you've got any segments featuring "The Surf Guru" that would be awesome.

For the life of me I can not find a single clip of his segments on this show and he was one of my favorite characters on ZDTV.

[freejack]

Yeah man, The surf guru was the best. I hope he is doing well in life.

[ShermerIllinois]

Yeah, I remember seeing him in a couple TV commercials a few years ago.

I think the two Guru episodes I remember most were the one where someone sent him a little robot (or "Ro-but") or something... I forget what it was about.

The other one was "Oral Brevity Codes": "10-4 good buddy! I'm in the Who-Ha region..." or something like that. I remember it was hilarious, though. I'll post a link if I find any Surf Guru videos.

[freejack]

I heard he was on scrubs last night.

[obeisance]

You should have seen the outtakes from the Surf Guru. He was frigging hilarious.

[ShermerIllinois]

Cool, thanks. I'll check it out.

I didn't realize until after I commented the other day that you actually worked on the show (if I read that correctly).

Outstanding work, man. From a die-hard ZDTV fan: Thank you. That whole network was really a cut above. Hope things are going well.
