I do some trading on E-Bay. Sometimes its for Ernie Kovacs memorabilia, sometimes its not. Sometimes I'm selling stuff, sometimes I'm not. So I bid on something. And I win the bid. The seller gets to talking with me via e-mail to set up the particulars. Before you know it, I find out this fella was a camera person at ABC television during the sixties. He just retired after 35 years. Name of Blair White. Nice guy.
So I say to good 'ol Blair, I say "Blair, you worked over at ABC during the sixties. Did you ever work with that hilarious Ernie Kovacs of whom we are all so fond?" And good 'ol Blair responds, "Nope, Al, I got there right after Ernie passed. But I know someone who worked as a cameraman on Ernie's shows at ABC. He's a good friend of mine. Name of Bob Kemp." And good 'ol me upon hearing this nearly fell out of the chair.
Blair then asks me "Al, would you like me to e-mail Bob and see if he would be willing to talk with you?" And I fell out of the chair this time.
And that's where we are now folks. This very nice fella Blair White e-mailed
Bob Kemp, cameraman extrordinaire, and Bob e-mailed me. And he was just
as nice a fella as Blair, willing to talk about his experiences as an instrumental
part of the Kovacs crew at ABC-TV during the early 1960's.
This interview was conducted via email. I have done some editing for clarity, but for the most part have printed Bob's answers verbatim. This interview contains 19 questions and answers. My questions are in white, with Bob's answers in black directly underneath. Each is numbered so you can match 'em up. Nice and simple, Kovacsians.
If you have any questions for Bob, email me and I will forward them along. I have also included a pic of the ABC studios in LA where Ernie did the show as well as a pic of an old ABC camera, courtesy of Blair White.
