Ah, nostalgia! I was hoping someone would mention Jack Germond. He claimed the show put his daughter through medical school.
McLaughlin Group was must-see TV, first for me and my college roommate, and then, later for me and a boyfriend. But when it lost its Saturday timeslot on Channel 9, I lost track of it and never discovered if it was still being broadcast. One highlight -- much later -- was Eleanor Clift speaking at my agency for Women's History Month -- about how she happened to be at Newsweek at the right time. I could identify with her story -- but I wasn't so lucky. Recently I learned that another show from around that era is going to get a tribute next year in the form of a stage production. My dad loved watching Buckley's program and got me to watch with him. Later, at college, I got to attend a taping of the show and ask Buckley a question afterward: What he thought of David Frye impersonation of him. He didn't dislike it.
