NBC Network - NBC News Overnight - WMAQ Channel 5 (Complete Broadcast, 4/29/1983) 📺 🌑

[@NYNYRaider]

Such memories - used to stay up and watch this on summer nights just before MTV arrived on the cable dial

[@wecontrolthevideo]

NBC had Johnny Carson followed by David Letterman followed by NBC News Overnight at this time, quite a line-up for late night!

[@c_b5060]

The best news program ever!!! Bring back Linda Ellerbee, if only as a creative consultant.

[@adrianconoza]

Nice to see another episode of Overnight. Thanks for uploading! 😁

[@jaybaz67b30]

Great memories I use to stay up just to watch this show. We didn't have cable yet in the country. I remember watching also re-runs of McCloud and McMillian and Wife besides the Million Dollar movie .

[@phantom6226]

Glad to see this. And so it goes. 😊

[@ThreeMs1989]

Linda Ellerbee would later become the host of Nick News.

[@thecandyman9308]

Man, as someone born not long before this episode aired, it's striking how much more interesting and engaging this show was versus what passes for MSM "journalism" now.

[@davanmani556]

I liked when Linda didn’t care and spoke from the hip. Bill could take difficult subjects, break it down and put it in headline form.

[@cindypruitt9534]

I love Linda Ellerbee. I hope she is doing okay. I was a kid then but have always been a night owl. I remember this, before we got cable there wasn't much on at night.

[@jacklandaupresents]

Being a night owl I used to watch this nightly as a pre teenager.

[@alfonsogreen2722]

Linda Ellerbee looks absolutely gorgeous

[@thecandyman9308]

🔥🔥

[@frankdeste7941]

What a great show!!!!!

[@goring19]

I was 20 years old in 1983. Used to stay up and watch this, especially in my coke days. 😂

[@jamespatton8847]

Wow Andrea Mitchell has been with NBC a long time

[@thecandyman9308]

Yeah, being Alan Greenspan's ol' lady will get you lifetime-membership into "the big club".

[@happydog4929]

takes me back

[@latriciaworrick9112]

We're are all the old tapes going it's my favorite past time

[@ronaldspikes5370]

they should bring this back

[@frankscaturro1356]

That theme song is so dreamy!

[@tvtimetravel]

This is where I first known of Linda Ellerbee.

[@wmbrown6]

I'd known of Ms. Ellerbee long before that. In 1973-74, she was a reporter on WCBS Channel 2 in New York City (this, while Chris Wallace was toiling as a reporter at Chicago sister WBBM).

[@tvtimetravel]

@@wmbrown6 I was 12 at the time, so that explains why I first knew her on there.

[@Silenced23]

Look at all that paper on that desk. Makes me feel cozy and nostalgic like it's real news and not like the looks of everything today.

[@Oppeldeldoc1]

Do you have anything of the show CBS Nightwatch, especially from this same spring?

[@JoseTwitterFan]

Linda Ellerbee's final words on the last-ever episode of Nick News? "And so it goes."

[@jameswoods1354]

I was 9 going on 10 in May 1983

[@Legend813a]

I had a crush on Ellerbee when I was 13. Was I wrong for that?

[@cindypruitt9534]

Of course not 😀

[@RageTVHTX]

Not at all. I hadn’t realized what a babe she was

[@alfonsogreen2722]

Nope

[@thecandyman9308]

Nope. She has that quiet cool of a Tulsi Gabbard.

[@Silenced23]

​@@thecandyman9308 both hotties

[@Thedecider1984]

I know her from Nick News

[@Stephy66]

Nice

[@bdwatkins2001]

I didn't know Joyce DeWitt did the news.....🤣🤣🤣🤣😁😁😁

[@thenewageriseth]

Huh. Wasn't aware of Linda's past w/ NBC 🤔

[@wmbrown6]

Before that (in the early to mid 1970's), Ms. Ellerbee was a reporter at WCBS Channel 2 in New York. I remembered her from then.

[@deaconblues80]

She was with NBC from 1975-86, first as a Washington correspondent and then in New York.

[@frankgarrett242]

I guess this was a news program for the unemployed and insomniacs?

[@darwinblinks]

And for working class people who worked second/late shifts and were up at this time and this was their news show to watch.

[@goring19]

It was also for we who were up doing lines of coke.
