The Joe Namath Show


I had no idea such a show existed, but I am now in love with The Joe Namath Show, which ESPN Classic has been running. It's a talk show in 1969 featuring Joe Willie, Dick Schaap and an amazingly interesting, disparate array of guests. I mean, look at this list of episodes: Ali, Woody Allen, Truman Capote, OJ, Jimmy Breslin, Mays and Mantle, etc etc. Small guest audience, looks like it was made for about $10, and of course a 26 year-old Joe coolly sitting in his turtlenecks/nehru jackets waiting for the show to end so he can get back to banging every chick in the city. Fucking a. Sliiiiiiiiiice!
