Show Notes

For Episode 43 here on Norm Nathan’s Vault of Silliness the label on the cassette reads June 22nd, 1996. Tom Howie is producing.

We had just moved into new studios at WBZ and let’s just say they were not ready for primetime but that’s what the overnight show is for, right? Pretty much a live, On-Air test study.

Let’s call this one the “Shhhh-ping Show!”

Stay tuned for the riveting explanation of that term and a deluge of technical silliness.

Norm was on the previous night filling in for Bob Raleigh and played a ‘rehearsal’ Dumb Birthday Game, but this night…well, it’s the first DBG in the new studios, on his OWN show!

We were all decked out in our uniforms to keep everything pristine and dust free. And the chapeau accoutrement is magnifique! Oui!

Westinghouse and CBS had just become the largest broadcast company in the world with a newly inked $3.9B deal.

Players:

Richard in Seaford, Delaware

Dorothy in Pleasantville, NY

Steve from Newton

Ethel in Portsmouth, NH 

 

Bdays: 

Meryl Streep

Ralph Waite

Ed Bradley – who’s earring leads to a painful revelation from Norm

Billy Wilder

Kris Kristofferson

Bill Blass

Lindsey Wagner

 

If you’re looking for wisdom from Norm’s Hungarian Gypsy Princess Grandmother…look no further!

Ever wonder what it would be like to have a talk show where you couldn’t put a caller on the air? Norm gives us a fine example.

Now let’s start this with a Question of the Day:

When did the box spring become a ‘foundation?’
