It's not like I haven't had hundreds of cable stations for years, but I've never seen or known Bill Tush, and happened upon this from a Charlie Rose Ted Turner interview.

I remember watching TBS before Ted Turner owned it, back when the station ID went "Super Seventeeeeeeeeeeen!" and showed old cartoons mostly. I remember Tush's first late night talk show called "Open Up" back in '74. The first time I ever heard of a transexual was when he had one on that show. Then there were the great old Ronco commercials, like that newspaper grill, & the Popiel Pocket Fisherman! I used to get toasted and stay up late to watch the "Late Update" in '79 and laugh my ass off!

I remember their show on WTCG Morning "News Show" with Tina Seldin, It was great.
Fox should bounce Hannity and Colmes with them>

I thought he left in the '90s. TBS didn't use him as much later on, but he was all over the station in the '80s. He was funny on his own show, Tush. He should have done some comedy movies while he was on a roll. But maybe he wanted to stay in the Atlanta market, not move to LA or Hollywood.

I love Bill's stuff. Tina Seldin was no slouch, either! I regret I never saw much of his "Showbiz Today" work.
