SPECIAL SHOW, SPECIAL DAY, SPECIAL TIME. Its just SPECIAL!!!!


West Side Story. If you're going to have a classic film festival you gotta show West Side Story. This Wednesday the 18th we will be broadcasting LIVE from The Carolina Theatre in Greensboro, NC for their classic film series. The movie starts at 7:30 but we will be on with Lana Wood (Natalie's sister) from 7-7:30.

This is a monthly occurrence for us and one that we have grown to love. Folks get there 30 minutes early to listen to our show before the movie starts. Last time it was a Hitchcock film series and we had a Hitchcock author and Hitchcock's granddaughter as the guests. Movie goers were bringing me slips of paper with questions they wanted answered on them. It was a blast!!!

This go around we will be chatting about all things West Side and all things Natalie!!!

Lana was our FIRST guest on WIKT and has agreed to grace us with her presence again!! We love Lana. If you aren't familiar with her work then check out Diamonds Are Forever. She was "Plenty O'Toole" the Bond girl to Sean Connery in that flick!

We hope to see you there! Wed Feb 18th at 7pm EST. Log in at www.talkshoe.com or listen after the fact at www.waitiknowthis.com. We will see you there!!!

Billy Ingram: TV GURU


If you think you know something about classic TV then you need to meet Billy Ingram. I, myself, consider myself a classic TV buff but I quickly found out that I am a child in his world! Billy created a website called TVParty.com that I used to check out in the late 90's. This website began in 1994 when the internet was in its infancy. Billy says, "The TV is the one constant that brings us all together especially when there was only 3 netowrks to watch".

Billy was our guest this Sunday as we explored all the crazy details of Hollywood deaths that most of us never knew. Make sure you listen to this episode using the player on our website www.waitiknowthis.com or on our blog http://waitiknowthis.blogspot.com Billy tells us the strange facts surrounding the deaths of stars like Bob Crane, Carol Wayne and Paul Lynde to name a few. It is facinating to hear about the last few years of Paul Lynde's life and how he was on a downward spiral with his drinking. It is truly a behind-the-scenes look at these stars and how their lives were cut short.

Also, Billy says he may give us a few DVD sets to give away on our next Sunday show which will feature one of our famous TRIVIA GAME SHOW episodes. If you tune in LIVE during the taping you can participate and win prizes!!!

And this Wednesday the 18th we will be LIVE at The Carolina Theatre for a classic film festival. The movie is West Side Story and we will be interviewing Natalie Wood's sister Lana Wood about her movie role that launched her into stardom.

Until then...head off to TV Party and check out Billy's world!!!!
