Before American Idol... before Star Search... in a time very near
The Gong Show, Frank Masi hosted an earnest local talent show
on Manhattan cable access television. Singers! Dancers! Impersonations!
Ventriliquism! Magic! Comedy!!! Obsessively preserved and contextualized
for a modern audience, this captivating showcase of amateur performances
by early 80s New Yorkers is a must-see for anyone fascinated with
the notion of fame and archival footage. Perhaps even you will
be inspired to take your first step on... the Stairway to Stardom!
