Here’s Something You Don’t See Every Day…

While posting the Studio 3A and 3B story, I thought about our friend Frank Merklien (right) who worked with the author of the first hand story in that post, Frank Vierling. It’s not often that cameramen have their own pictures taken, but this is one of those rare times. This photo is actually Paul Wenchell’s first television appearance, two years before ‘The Paul Wenchell, Jerry Mahoney Show’ debuted on NBC. This shot was taken on the set of ‘Lights Out’ at NBC’s Uptown Studios (106 Street) September 23, 1949.
