Joey and Marky Ramone being Interviewed on the Joe Frankin Show WOR Channel 9, 1988
Video Rating: 5 / five

I’ve never seen anything like THE JOE FRANKLIN SHOW, before or since. I discovered it on cable tv WOR Superstation in the 1980s, but Joe Franklin was a New York tv/radio institution for years. I booked myself on the show in 1988 as ‘publicist’ of the Theater Historical Society of America. It was a hoot. But I played it too modestly and let the psychic get all the screen time. Joe Franklin went off the air in 1993. But here’s his website joefranklin.com And here’s his wikipedia entry: en.wikipedia.org I’m Jeff Krulik and Joe Franklin is a hero of mine.
