Some Stalling



Here's a cool shot (photo presumably by Jerry Long, staff photog for The Beat) of Chad on the panel of a segment of what's referred to in the photo as the premier of a new celebrity TV show called Hit or Miss, hosted by the ubiquitous Bob Eubanks. Bob was, as you no doubt recall, not only the host of The Newlywed Game, but, as a DJ on KRLA, also the guy who hired the Beatles to perform at the Hollywood Bowl in August of 1964. Chad is seated between the late Molly Bee of the Tennessee Ernie Ford Show, and Kathy Nolan, from the Real McCoys TV show.

I've been running down the Chad & Jeremy stories from the KRLA archives, and came across one big, and several small, items that merit some attention even though it is 40+ years down the road. And I'll get to those in a bit. But not tonight.

More Chad without Jeremy pictures from this show to the right. This whole Chad without Jeremy thing was apparently a lot bigger deal than I recall from back in the day, and we'll dig that whole mess up shortly, along with a bigger mess that KRLA inflicted upon itself. Hoist upon its own petard, as the phrase goes and don't you know I've been waiting to use that one, in reference to anything.
