WXmanTim 88 Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 Before joining CBS and 60 Minutes, Mike Wallace hosted a half-hour interview program on ABC, titled The Mike Wallace Interview. Several year ago, he donated the original kinescopes to the University of Texas-Austin and they recently uploaded the original full-length interviews to their website. They are a fascinating look into the past and news makers in the early years of television.

The thing I get the biggest kick out of is how he was able to instantly turn from "interviewer/interrogator" to "jovial cigarette pitchman" and right back again without the benefit of a break. Look down, pause, look back up: cigarette pitchman. look down, pause, look back up: hardened news interviewer.
