Longtime Late Night Kansas City TV watchers will probably go ga-ga over this interview with a local broadcasting legend just like I did.
Not only does this interview appeal to me because it provides a glimpse into KC TV History but also because Crematia Mortem was one of the first white broads I ever had a crush on . . . And it's conducted by a basement video blogger no less.
Yeah, this is one of those links that I really don't care if anybody else likes because it represents one of the few aspects of this town's culture that's not only kickass but mostly devoid of corruption.
Things were so much more innocent and sweet back then.

Speaking of which, have you guys been having trouble logging on to the site today?

ReplyDeleteWhatever happened to Uncle Ed Muscare of KSHB "All Night Live" fame. I had my own man crush on Uncle Ed. I thought he was a freakin' comic genius and never understood why he didn't go on to get a national gig.

Who played her? Still a great set after all these years!
ReplyDeleteBring Crematia Mortem back on the air!
ReplyDeleteLets start a petition.
I think that is Kathy Quinn from Fox 4 news.
ReplyDeleteYears ago (1980's) she used to be with KSHB when it was an independents station.
But I could be wrong.
Not Kathy Quinn - it's Roberta Solomon, who - at the time she played Crematia - had a day job at the old KMBR FM radio. She's now a very successful freelance talent. You hear her on any number of commercials. Roberta is also one of the voices on Channel 19. A very talented woman.
ReplyDeleteUncle Ed got his banana phone crosswise with some kid - hence the reason he never attained national stardom. Perverted, but he was funny as hell. Was in college with Roberta - always was a hoot and has a great voice.
ReplyDeleteDidn't Crematia do the show barefoot?
