As reports of the Michael Jackson incident reached a peak, Fox TV Network interviewed me live ( Primetime) for one of their shows. This day the events happened quickly. I received the call at noon to come to the studio for the Prime Time Show airing at 7pm. With little time to prepare, I went off to the studio and got “wired” for sound, and then onto the set. The interview was rewarding, as I had a chance to recall my Michael Jackson Days when I was President and CEO of VH-1, the music and lifestyle TV network.
