Coming soon to TV CONFIDENTIAL: Five-time Emmy Award-winning writer, producer, director, comedian and talk show host John Barbour on his affinity for Superman; how he helped Pat Morita find his piece of ground as a comedian early in his career; why REAL PEOPLE represents the best form of reality TV; and why he always booked Harlan Ellison as his first guest whenever he hosted a talk show. John’s memoir, YOUR MOTHER’S NOT A VIRGIN: The Bumpy Life and Times of the Canadian Dropout Who Changed the Face of American TV, is available in paperback and as an eBook through TrineDay.com and Amazon.com. John’s documentary THE AMERICAN MEDIA AND THE SECOND ASSASSINATION OF PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY is also available on Amazon, while his documentaries THE GARRISON TAPES and ERNIE KOVACS: TV’s ORIGINAL GENIUS are both available for free screening at YouTube.com/JohnBarboursWorld
