Ellerbee's anecdotal stories of when she worked at NBC news in the 80s. Much of the book is very funny and it's definitely entertaining, but it also shows the beginning of the end of *real* news programs. (

Linda Ellerbee & Lloyd Dobyns "NBC News Overnight" cost me more sleep!!
The best television EVER - and I think they won some awards that said just exactly that!!!
So disappointing to not be able to watch that any longer.
Loved the book - she's an unusual gal.
Read in 2005. (

Ellerbee has a writing style that truly mirrors her personality - breezy, funny, satirical, and intolerant of fools. A fascinating book. I still cannot read the account of her interview with the lady who wanted to remain incognito under the big hat without laughing until I gasp for breath. (

Television journalist Linda Ellerbee shares her time in the news biz beginning as a local reporter in Houston and New York, a congressional and campaign correspondent with NBC to co-anchor of Weekend and NBC News Overnight. Ellerbee was at her best in the anchor's chair "and so it goes" with this book. (

In general, she feels that to call TV, as Paddy Chayevsky did, ""democracy at its ugliest"" is to underestimate the viewer. She dubs TV ""paternalism at its slickest,"" and throughout her career refuses to talk down to the audience, that unknown quantity referred to around the offices as ""the plumber from Albuquerque."" (Something like The New Yorker's Little Old Lady from Dubuque?) Her colloquial style serves these stories well, and the hip wit that made her ideal for ""Not-ready-for-prime-time News"" is amply in evidence. Ellerbee's career has shown that TV news can be fun without being vapid; these behind-the-scenes anecdotes show that what didn't make it on the air was even funnier.

I wouldn't mind writing one of those books about the good old days - how I went out into the land and committed journalism covering the important stories, every one of them, everywhere, better than anyone - the the thing about lying is that unless you're a political candidate or a network vice president, you've got to set yourself some limits and hold fast.
