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!
If you missed the first incarnation, perhaps you've heard of that
night in late August where people lost their shit. Come lose yours.
