The Roast Of Tim Weigel - "Jimmy Piersall" (Part 4, 1981)
Here's Part 4 of an interesting "backstage" glimpse at some local TV personalities of yore - raw footage shot at a dinner event "roasting" Tim Weigel. (Roasting Weigel's Weiner?) Included are such notables as Fahey Flynn, Ray Meyer, Joel Daly, Bill Veeck, Al Lerner, Bill Gleason, Jack Brickhouse, and more. (Can anyone help ID any? They don't have to be famous, if you know who someone is, let me know)
Part 4 includes former ballplayer and White Sox broadcaster Jimmy Piersall roasting Tim.
(Note: This is the end of Tape 1 of 5 of the Roast - the other tapes aren't available right now, so we won't get to continue this for a couple months or so) :-(
My thanks to Jenniffer Weigel, who wanted it to be known that she believes in our little museum, and who graciously donated this recording so that it could be shared with everyone. :-)
According to the date on the tape, this was recorded on Wednesday, February 11th 1981. (not sure if any of the footage was used on that night's news or not)
