Barbara & Bing
“Barbara Walters revisits some old friends…”
Today, we’re going back 40 years for a pair of promos from late ’78. First up, an airing of The Barbara Walters Summer Special from August ’78.
The guests interviewed by Walters are Dolly Parton, Henry Winkler, Donny & Marie Osmond, and Bing Crosby. YouTube viewer, John Grant astutely points out that Crosby had already passed away at the time of this airing. It’s likely why the promo features Bing so prominently.
Second, the Harlem Globetrotters make an appearance in Indiana in December 1978.
