Ernie Kovacs and Shep

The Tonight Show

In 1956 Shep appeared on the Tonight Show with host Ernie Kovacs. Ernie did a horizontal split screen, Shep's upper face over Ernie's lower face. While Shep spoke, Ernie 'mouthed' the words. - "Time now for the secret message tonight boys and girls. So set your decoder pins at B-12." Is it possible this was part of a promotional tour for his first album "Into the Unknown with Jazz Music on which in the 9th track he does a bit about setting the decoder ring?

Staten Island Public Access TV

Pete Delaney strikes again!

Good News - After 19 years ( ! ) Staten Island Public Access TV finally switched from expensive professional video tapes to store-bought DVD-R's. Now I am able to do a variety of shows there similar to my live movie shows at the National Parks. My first effort is "JEAN SHEPHERD RADIO CLASSICS" an occasional series where I present some of my favorite WOR shows. First Up: "The Boarding House" from 1972. It will be on Monday September 5, 12 and 19 at 1PM on Ch. 34 (of course only available to Staten Islanders).

Smalltacular

Billboad Magazine Review

Very little is known about "Smalltacular" which is the earliest known (thought to be 1957) theatre performance Shep did. This review was done April 7, 1958 which makes the 1957 date seem too early, as this review would have been done shortly after opening. (supposedly)

Shep's Playboy Artwork

from fan Jim Yellen

I've collected the arwork that accompanied Shep's Playboy stories and compiled them into a website where they can all be viewed. There were 23 short stories published between 1964 and 1981 and I've got 21 of them included here. I'm working on getting the last two. I think other Shep fans would enjoy seeing the illustrations that went with each of these stories.
