FROST/NIXON: The Original Watergate Interviews
WLIW21 in association with WNET.ORG brings this historic media event back to public television August 2009 (check local listings) for the 35th anniversary of former U.S. President Richard Nixon’s resignation (August 9, 1974). FROST/NIXON: The Original Watergate Interviews is the entire 1977 Watergate broadcast. Never before — and never afterward — would Nixon confront the issue of Watergate, particularly in a forum where he had no advanced knowledge of the questions and no right even to see the edited program before it was broadcast. British journalist Sir David Frost introduces this special 35th anniversary broadcast, discussing the historical impact of the Nixon interview and sharing his reactions of their famous encounter. The original broadcast of the Watergate interviews on May 4, 1977 was watched by more than 45 million Americans and remains the largest TV audience for a political interview to this day.
