On the Steve Allen Show

Picture










Ala John John Cage the young Mr. Zappa "plays the bicycle" on the Steve Allen Show. Goofy. Listen closely to Allen's studio band and you can hear that they're up to something interesting in the background. Some improv directions supplied by Frank?

On the Mike Douglas Show circa Zoot Allures

On Whats My Line?

Picture
After seeing the contestants you have one guess who nails it.

On the Dick Cavett Show

Picture
Dick Cavett and Frank talk about punk, Frank's new wave favorites, Jewish Princess and the ADL

On The Larry King Show, August 1985

Picture
A great sit down with Larry during the era in which Frank was active in opposing the politcal agenda of the PMRC (Parents Music Resource Center.) Frank appears during this period discussing the same subject on Kathy & Regis (LOL), on Ted Koepel's Night Line, and on Crossfire w Robert Novack & Thom Braden.

On the Today Show 1993

Picture
Probably Frank's last appearance on American TV. A great piece, but a real heart breaker.

On the BBC

Picture
The BBC covers Frank's project with Kent Nagano and the London Symphony Orchestra for a live performance in London's Barbican Center. Apparently he was much happier with the concert than the recording which he dissed in The Real Frank Zappa Book.

UFO's? Frank Says He Saw One.
