- Summary
- Before the era of slick network programming and seamless video, a prankster genius named Ernie Kovacs single-handedly invented a short-lived brand of broadcast insanity known as "live television." His scripts -- invariably delivered to bewildered and reluctant television executives minutes before airtime -- were usually ignored, amplified, or ad-libbed beyond recognition when the red eye of the camera blinked on. The Kovacs legend is still growing, as his early shows are excavated from network archives and rebroadcast nationally.
