A Holiday Gift For Rock 'n Roll Lovers

Here's an advance preview of my interview with Rock legend Little Richard which will appear on my site next week....

The Magic Number: 25

Why 25? Because you'll find 25 classic videos for viewing on the front page at BillBoggs.com

We just launched my TV interviews with Chuck Norris, Yul Brynner, and Placido Domingo.

The number twenty-five is just the beginning... we have a lot more goodies waiting in the wings.

I suggest you drop by the site regularly and you're sure to be pleasantly surprised. There's a whole evening's worth of videos there, so keep that in mind when you get bored surfing.

Meanwhile, I'd like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a happy, heathly 2010. May all your dreams come true!

—Bill

Performance Cancelled

Due to a personal family emergency I've had to cancel the performance of Talk Show Confidential for next Tuesday night. Sorry for the inconvenience and hope to see you soon.

Lisbon or Bust!

I'm heading for Lisbon on November 11th—a southern Trans-Atlantic crossing on the acclaimed Crystal Serenity ship. On board I'm the so-called "celebrity speaker" and will give a couple of talks and enjoy stopping at the Azores, then five days at sea...then Grand Turk...a day at sea, and disembarking in Miami. Aboard will be a 16-piece orchestra playing throughout the journey, so it's "the redeeming power of music and the sea" for 12 days.

Sounds like a vacation to me.

THE MAIN EVENT is "Live"

We've just launched an exciting video of the historic roundtable I did with World Championship boxers Floyd Patterson, Rocky Graziano, Jake LaMotta, and Jose Torres. This was the only TV appearance of these four together and the show was, well, a knockout.

You can catch the action here: billboggs.com

Advantage McEnroe

It's match point at billboggs.com so don't miss the action—we've launched two classic videos from my archives: tennis champ John McEnroe and the unsinkable Shirley MacLaine.

I think you'll enjoy these interviews, so tune-in at your leisure.

Mixed doubles, anyone?

JAMES BOND BARES ALL!

Okay, so maybe 007 didn't bare all, but actor Sean Connery revealed his tattoo to me—a TV scoop. You can catch this rare clip on the front page at http://www.billboggs.com/

As I've mentioned in previous posts, we're in the process of stocking my web site with many classic TV interviews from the Boggs' Archive. It's exciting to see these clips reborn on the Web, and I think you'll enjoy them. We're launching both full-length video interviews as well as snippets. And speaking of which, we just posted an illuminating moment from my interview with actor Dustin Hoffman. Click here to view.



Lots more coming!

Today's Big Splash on Page Six

I made the New York Post's notorious PAGE SIX again. Here's the scoop:

A big mismatch of Boggs vs. Phelps

TV personality Bill Boggs, who used to swim competitively, was doing laps yesterday at the New York Athletic Club when he noticed "the guy next to me is like a shark . . . he's pushing off the wall swimming the length of the pool under water, while kicking on his back. 'Hmm,' I think, 'this guy's good,' " Boggs says. "We hit the wall together at one point and I give it all I've got to stay with him, and after three strokes I look up and he's already coming back." The speed demon left the pool before Boggs finished, and when Boggs got out, the attendant told him, "You were trying to race Michael Phelps."
