Vin Scully

“The challenge for a broadcaster first and foremost is accuracy. He has to be able to call the play accurately.... If you can combine accuracy and good reporting along with some facility for the English language, you’re off and running.”

Person

Dick Ebersol
"If somebody was to write on my tombstone whatever association I had with 'Saturday Night Live,' the most important association that I'd like to have is, 'when it was almost dead, he revived it.'"
Person

Barney McNulty

"I was instructed sometimes to hide the cards from censors, to not let them see the script, because, shall we say, some people were going to skirt around the issue, the edges of these things."

Person

Thomas Del Ruth

"Cinematography and still photography is nothing more than an extension of painting, except with the addition of motion. You are essentially paralleling what people do with brushstrokes. If you can understand the Old Masters and Vermeer and other aspects of the world of fine art, then it's easier for you to visualize a particular set of circumstances for a show that you're about to do."

Person

Chris Carter

"I hope that we had an impact on the quality of television. I hope that if people talk about a golden age of television in the 90's that we were a part of it. I don't know what ("The X-Files"') ultimate influence will be, but I just hope it plays forever."

Person

William Klages

"There is something more to lighting design. The more to it, of course, is enhancement and making the image more interesting-looking and certainly making it consistent with the material that you're presenting."

Person

Edie Adams
"We want to strive for something better. If mediocrity is the answer, we'd better all just go home."
Person

Pat Boone
"I have always been unafraid to accept a challenge and confident that somehow I could handle it. So stepping in front of the camera -- I'd already had so much experience in Nashville singing for every group there was, just being very extemporaneous and never having a script. So I could walk in front of a TV camera and just be myself.  And it made me a natural kind of a host. I wasn't stilted. I didn't need cue cards. I could introduce people. I could introduce my own stuff. I could sing. I could even do a commercial."
