Pre-recording of shows
|
| For the most part,
Shep's shows were all done live. In some cases, it became
necessary to record a show or several shows in advance. This was
usually when he was going to travel out of the country, or do a
live college show during a week night. He also recorded shows
ahead of time in 1962 while doing "New Faces" and recorded a
series of at least 60 shows in an early syndication attempt in
1964 or 1965. |

Marc Spector (Associate Producer for Shep at WOR from 1974 to
1974) writes:
Jean only came in a couple of times a week (maybe 3) even as
early as 1974. I cannot remember ever seeing him 5 days a
week. He was pretty active in those days with outside speaking
gigs and would tape in advance or,on occasion, we would play a
rerun which I would choose for broadcast. Leigh did keep copies
of all the shows but I have no idea what she did with them as
they were all recorded on 10" reels and were quite heavy and
bulky. We went to the studio and the tape was on the machine
ready to record. Also: in those days, most of the WOR lineup
was live. Gambling, The McCanns, Arlene Francis, Barry Farber,
etc. Most took phone calls. |
