thebluefood Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Frost hosted what some consider to be the proto-Daily Show in the Frost Report, a short lived series on British Television. You can see a young John Cleese on several of the sketches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 One of the all time great interviewers and one of the mediums savviest players. Intolerably humble, real nice guy who people often mistook as being too nice to ask the hard hitting questions yets his style always got him the answers. In many different forms of society from World powers to sporting legends. Great loss to television. RIP Sir David. You blazed the way that many still haven't lived up to. Hail.
