While digitizing a batch of local news 3/4" video tapes I came across a tape of network bloopers and outtakes. In the days before YouTube these tapes circulated between news departments all over the country, copied and re-copied.

This recording has both on-air gaffes and mistakes that never made it to air, along with some prima donna TV personalities throwing tantrums.

Included on this tape are:
Jessica Savitch
Carole Simpson
Sander Vanocur
Bill Plante
Sam Donaldson
Mike Wallace
James Baker
George Bush
Ronald Reagan
Roy Neal
Ike Pappas
Irving R. Levine
Bettina Gregory
and many more
