Grease's new TV gig
January 4, 2000 -- Grease is leaving behind the nightmare that was 1999 and starting his comeback in 2000 with a co-hosting gig on the new syndicated TV show matchmaker.com LIVE, financed by that website. He plays a character named Dr. Chip Bandwidth, and he asks the
"zestier" questions of the contestants.
Listed below is a lineup of the stations that are carrying matchmaker.com LIVE during it's initial 13-week run, with the air days & times. All times are local and
AM, and are considered literal--so if it says 1:00 on Saturday it's actually Friday night. Look for your city, and tune in (or tape) to see the Greaseman at his wackiest!
Jan. 26th update -- You can now view an episode online! Visit the matchmaker.com LIVE
website, and click on the red "matchmaker.com LIVE" logo twice. You'll need Windows Media Player.
February update -- matchmaker.com LIVE seems to have been dropped from most, if not all, stations. By most reports, it ran for three
weeks, but if you have knowledge that it's still running in your city, please let me know. Thanks.
