We went to the Paley Center for Media today to see a special exhibit for the 35th anniversary of the syndicated version of the show. The exhibit featured photos, memorabilia, videos, and more. There was a video featuring versions of the show in 45 countries.
From there we went to the library where we saw a recording of an interview with Pat Sajak, Vanna White and others that was done early this month at the Paley Center. They spoke of the history of the show including some strange occurrences.
In December we will be seeing a performance by Petula Clark at BB Kings. I searched their database on her and found a classic program when Petula Clark and Harry Belafonte reunited for the fortieth anniversary of the 1968 variety show that sparked a racial controversy. We even saw that show that was seen on NBC in 1968.
I must say that the Paley Center is a treasure. Once I retire in January I will have more opportunities to sample radio and TV shows in their collection. Since I am a member, I can do that for up to 3 hours.
