Friday Night Video #1
In honor of Mike Douglas, I present this clip of a performance by Tom Waits (the tune is from "Nighthawks At The Diner") in 1976, and the interview Douglas conducted with Waits afterwards (this was so typical of his show, with all different types of personalities feeling at ease and having a good time...where else were you likely to ever see Marvin Hamlisch, Glenda Jackson and Waits all together at once?).

Thanks for posting about Mike Douglas. I forgot to, which bugs me because I used to watch him with my mom and younger brother nearly everyday when I was a kid. We'd be doing our homework and mom would be making dinner and Mike Douglas was on the tv. I didn't really get the show - I didn't know most of the guests on it - but you're so right about the disparate panels. It was fascinating to watch. And, of course, Douglas seemed like a good guy, who liked everyone.
