Re: I Think I'll Go For A Walk - Death Pool Thread
Quite a life.
Quite a life.
Former NBC president Julian Goodman, who first paired David Brinkley and Chet Huntley on the evening news desk, has died at the age of 90.
Goodman, who started his career at NBC on the night news desk in Washington, was responsible or involved with a number of high-profile moments in TV history.
In addition to essentially creating “The Huntley-Brinkley Report,” Goodman produced the second Kennedy-Nixon debate for NBC, signed Johnny Carson to a long-term deal at “The Tonight Show,” and led the network during the infamous Jets-Raiders “Heidi game,” which saw the network cut away from the football game to broadcast “Heidi.”
