Jon Stewart I was born with an adult head and a tiny body. Like a Peanuts character.

Oprah I finally realized that being grateful to my body was key to giving more love to myself.

Conan O’Brien the Dark, Brooding Writer (1992)

Conan O’Brien the Dark, Brooding Writer (1992)

Conan has had a rough month with being displaced as host of The Tonight Show by NBC with Jay Leno.  But it must pale in comparison to whatever was going through his mind when he took this photo.
Brooding almost as if he’s planning a felony crime, Conan unleashes his inner Jack Nicholson from The Shining [...]

Howard Stern Rocks a Wife-Beater (1978)

Howard Stern Rocks a Wife-Beater (1978)

At the tender age of 24 (if you can use the word “tender” to describe him), shock jock and radio talk show host Howard Stern is photo’d wearing a wifebeater and rock-star shaggy hair.  This photo is pure, 100% Stern (before the plastic surgery and iconic “King of Media” status).  Who would know looking at [...]

Oprah and Half-Brother Jeffrey Lee Share a Moment (early 80’s)

Oprah and Half-Brother Jeffrey Lee Share a Moment (early 80’s)

Oprah poses with her half-brother Jeffrey Lee in the early 80’s.  Lee eventually died of AIDS in 1989 (just prior to Winfrey producing and starring in the ABC miniseries The Women of Brewster’s Place).  They are only half-siblings, but do we see any family resemblance?
The video clip below is of an ABC’s promo spot for [...]

Little Larry King Sails the High Seas at Coney Island (1944)

Little Larry King Sails the High Seas at Coney Island (1944)

CNN talk show host Larry King (@kingsthings) (being a Brooklyn-born and raised kid) undoubtedly enjoyed going to Coney Island as much as this Brooklyn-girl did.  Here (rocking his signature glasses), he poses for a souvenir photo with his brother, Marty Zeiger, and Aunt Sylvia.  Fun times!  And a very different world back then.
Below is a [...]

Keith Olbermann – Pornstache Fierce (ESPN 1992)

Keith Olbermann – Pornstache Fierce (ESPN 1992)

Don’t laugh.  In the mid 1970’s (long before Keith Olbermann joined MSNBC as host of Countdown with Keith Olbermann), looking like a cross between a porn star (complete with a full-on pornstache) and Burt Reynolds was fierce… a way of life, back then.  However, this photo of Keith Olbermann (shown here co-hosting ESPN’s Sports Center [...]

John Stewart – Lawrence High School Hottie (1979)

John Stewart – Lawrence High School Hottie (1979)

Long before he became a biting, media, political and pop culture commentator on The Daily Show, Jon Stewart was an average kid in high school at Lawrence High School in Lawrenceville, New Jersey where he graduated third in his class in 1980.
Stewart (with a head full of curly hair bordering on a full blown afro) [...]

Chevy Chase Preps the Titanic (1993)

Chevy Chase Preps the Titanic (1993)

Chevy Chase gets comfy/cozy on the set of his new, FOX late night talk show The Chevy Chase Show that premiered September 7, 1993).  The Chevy Chase show has the distinction of being considered by tv executives, the media and fans alike to be the worst talk show… ever… in the history of the world.  [...]

Phil Donahue and Reverend Lady Bishop (1988)

Phil Donahue and Reverend Lady Bishop (1988)

You might think the star of this photo is legendary daytime talk show hostPhil Donahue (The Phil Donahue Show – 1967-1996).  She was a guest on Donahue’s show, yes, but the woman in this photo (Reverend Dr. Lady Bishop) is legendary in her own right.  Her super powers awed talk show audiences, celebrities and the [...]

Queen Latifah and Mike Douglas Interview Donna Summer (1976, 1999)

Queen Latifah and Mike Douglas Interview Donna Summer (1976, 1999)

Ask anyone to say the first thing that comes to their mind when you say the word “disco” and they’re very likely to say “Donna Summer“.  The legendary Donna Summer defined, embodied and celebrated an era of music that is synonymous with decadence, overt-sexuality and freedom of self-expression.  Disco, disco, disco!!!
Today is Donna Summer’s 61st [...]

Johnny Carson Rings in the New Year with Robert Blake and Ed McMahon (1976)

We lost Johnny Carson (the King of late night talk shows) this past decade (2005) and the great Ed McMahon (2009).  Below, Carson and McMahon (with Robert Blake from the 70’s hit drama series Baretta) ring in the new year with The Tonight Show band and enough confetti to black out the sun.
Carson offers the [...]
