MIDDAY LIVE WITH BILL BOGGS {LUCIE ARNAZ, BOB
COLACELLO, TAX REFORM} {WARHOL VINTAGE TELEVISION
#WA.00.0414} (TV)
Summary
This program was taped off the air with a camera on a
tripod by Andy Warhol for his private research and
entertainment. This program is part of the Warhol
Foundation's donation to the Museum of the artist's
complete television collection. It was taped from
WNEW-TV in 1978. One in this series of talk shows
hosted by Bill Boggs. In this edition, Boggs interviews
Lucie Arnaz and Bob Colacello and leads a panel
discussion on tax reform. Arnaz, Boggs' occasional
co-host, is wearing the fedora often worn by her father
Desi Arnaz on "I Love Lucy." She discusses her graying
hair, what she missed by marrying so young, her favorite
color, and her goals in show business. Next, Colacello,
executive editor of Interview magazine, talks about how
he chooses people to be interviewed and placed on the
publication's cover, the magazine's demographics,
interviewing techniques, his "Out" gossip column, and
juggling partying and work with Andy Warhol and his set.
The program's final segment focuses on Jimmy Carter's
proposed tax-reform package and its influence on New
York City. Bernard Jacobs, president of the Shubert
Organization, notes that the proposal no longer to allow
the price of Broadway show tickets to be deducted as
business expenses will devastate the theater industry;
restaurateur Robert Pascal makes the same point about
the limit in deductions allowed for business meals; New
York Convention and Visitors Bureau president William
Gillett notes that the minor financial gains to the
government from these changes could have devastating
results to the employees of the above industries; and
New York University professor of economics Melvin
Krauss calls the proposed bill a cheap shot against
certain industries, representative of what he terms the
anti-business attitude in the Carter administration. On
the other hand, Columbia University professor of
political economy William Vicarey supports the theory
that a line must be drawn between business expenses and
money spent purely on pleasure. Includes commercials.
