    CLASSIC Televison. When entertainment was about shows, achievements, music, celebrities, movies, historical actors. Not about gossip or the downfall or divorce of a celebrity.

    Fun Fact: For the first year, the show was always referred to as “Entertainment Tonight”. Following the success of ET: The Extra-Terrestrial the following year is when they started to use the initials of the show and branding on the microphones.

    "Entertainment Tonight" premiered on September 14, 1981. The first show featured a five-part interview with Burt Reynolds, who promoted the movie "Paternity", a conversation with Richard Chamberlain, the 33rd annual Emmy Awards, the 1981 fall TV preview, and a profile of Blondie's Debbie Harry.

    The opening link is awkward and forced. Ron Hendren seems by far the most comfortable. Haha, man this really was recorded live to tape, either that or their sound op was bargain basement with all the missed cues and time taken to close mics - which in some cases are so long you can actually hear the VT sound on the floor God box.

      I was born when ET was still pretty decent, 1994. I'm too young to remember that particular era but I've watched episodes from that year and the years before then. It definitely was a hell of a lot better back then than it is now. At least at that time, it gave viewers a hard look at the ins and outs of the business and helped them to understand it to the best of their ability. Wish the current caretakers would try something like that now, if only gossip wasn't so prevalent.

    After Marjorie's lover, Formula 1 driver Peter Revson, died in the 1974 South African Grand Prix, her life bottomed out when she attempted suicide by overdosing on sleeping pills. She later lived with Jimmy Connors, but Jimmy dumped her in favor of 1977 Playmate of the Year Patti McGuire. Jimmy and Patti are still married, so that was a good choice. Wallace later married the son of then-Chargers owner Eugene Klein and a had son with him.
