Cleveland TV Tales Volume 2

by Mike Olszewski, Janice Olszewski

Overview

More behind-the-screen stories from the golden age of local television! Let's warm up the old family TV set, step through the screen, and see what was going on behind the scenes with some of our favorite Cleveland television personalities of the 1970s, '80s, and '90s. We'll look back at the rise of glamorous news anchors (including more than one Miss America contestant) with perfect smiles, perky noses, and really big hair . . . Late-night horror-movie hosts battling to take over the legacy of the legendary Ghoulardi . . . The strange, sad saga of the former daytime host who shot himself after a bizarre sex scandal . . . A weatherman who was a lightning rod for coworkers' endless practical jokes . . . The investigative reporters whose sting operations caught wrongdoers with their pants down--sometimes literally! . . . The gutsy reporter who interviewed Danny Greene hours before the mobster was blown up in his car . . . The Cleveland mayor who co-hosted a children's show with a ventriloquist's dummy . . . and many other true tales.
