This panel wasmore than blown away when they watched the Geraldo Show, and now our hosts puts together fans and former guests. October 10th, 1995.
“I was getting ready for work…she was on about 2 seconds, head to toe everything about her just flabbergasted me…”
Jason describes what came over him when he saw Tina on TV, and for the first time she is brought on stage. Jason is available, and owns his own painting company in Jackson Mississippi. But is Tina into him?
Marcus saw Ivan on the panel during a show about gang members, and Ivan, coming on stage, is flattered. His friends had joked that someone will see you on the show, sweep you away, but now it seems to be coming true…
Julie was watching ‘Hunk-o-mania’ when she spotted Dalton. Apparently men are intimidated by her style, and she hopes Dalton is not when he is brought on stage. She performs a special dance, just for him. The man is a performer and not surprised he has a secret admirer.
Paul was watching a show about dateless women and thought they were all good lookin’. He explains what prompted him to call and leave his name, number after the number popped up on the the screen. Cathy received mutliple offers on the show but unfortunately for Paul says she’s just not really into dating.
Mike a producer for Geraldo for 9 years running, has struggled to have a date for New Year’s for 8 of those years. Patti is brought on the set and can’t quite pin it down but is really into him. Could be the charisma, or the pony tail, or….Patti is not worried that he seems to be a pretty shy guy.
Sherry and Sheila both saw women that checked their boxes when watching a show about lesbians. Frances Stevens is flattered and thinks the audience should give this woman a round of applause. Maggie is speechless when confronting her admirer, which is rare, seeing as how she is a lawyer and generally paid for whatever she says.
Sherry is on stage because she thinks Geraldo mis-profiled Richard Ramirez. After watching the show she wrote him, in prison, and he wrote back. Sherry insists the Geraldo Show got it wrong and that the convicted rapist, murderer, did not deserve the treatment he got on TV. She keeps in touch with Richard through the mail and on the phone…
An audience compliment to Francis Stevens on her Deneuve magazine brings the show to a close — it’s the best lesbian publication out there. Marcus signs to the object of his admiration as closing credits roll.
This day, Geraldo’s Television History.
