Ok folks I've uploaded 19 entire episodes of Richard's TV show. What's even crazier is I have 41 more shows to go!!! I had no idea I had this many episodes.

In addition to "The Richard Bey Show", I've uploaded a few more goodies:
- A highlight/demo reel
- Best of interviews from people are talking
- Scenes from "Truster" a pilot Richard did right after TRBS went off air
- Interviews/appearances on Judith Regan (FNC), Beyond the News (FNC), Hannity and Colmes (2x), and an MSNBC interview

Converting to digital, rendering the movie, then uploading is extremely time consuming, so please bear with me. I am out of town next week then leave for Curacao (2 month deployment) on the 18th. That means this is about all I can do before I leave.

I'm hoping that Richard's appearance in Bruno and these videos will drive demand for Richard's talents. I DO intend to update the website soon, as well. I wanted to make sure there were sufficient videos uploaded before I did that. I have Adobe's web authoring suite, so I will begin to learn it and put it to work when I'm not working/on the beach in curacao. If anyone has any ideas on a format for the site, please send me the link and I'll do what I can to incorporate those features.

All the best!!

Truster!

So was that real or staged?

[Richard Bey]

That was a pilot for a show.

My agent in LA was still negotiating the contract when I got on the plane the night before the shoot. The next morning he called me to warn me not to go on the set until he had a signed contract. He received one about an hour before our first taping.

I thought it sounded like a great concept and the production values were fine (it was produced by Twentieth Television a division of Fox). Woody Frazier was the EP. He had produced Hour Magazine and one of the network morning shows.

As I was shooting it I began to realize that the guests seemed to be acting and a little 'too good to be true.' I couldn't stop the show and ask questions...it was a pilot after all, a one day shoot with fifty people on the clock.

After I got home I did some research...it appeared to me some of the guests might have been real, but some definately were actors. The production company had a six month hold on me and the pilot would only be used as a selling tool for syndication so that didn't seem so egregious.

In the interim I had another offer to host an off the wall political show with another one of the majors. Since by that time my contract for Truster was only about a month from termination and United Television promised to wait. The president at 20th told me they would make up their mind within the month and he promised not to take an extension as I had another offer. He lied. On the very last day he took the extension, blew up my pending deal and never sold Truster.

Not only were the guests not real, neither was their promise...

So what about the 'main guests' ... the wife swapping ones? Do you think they were actors? So, then, was the truster "truth" rigged to go along with the actors' stories? I think the concept for the show was interesting, but not to have it be an integral part of the show. Maybe bring it out every once in a while like what was done with the voice of truth.

I can tell you from personal experience that most were very truthful on this show. Richard had a great "BS detector." In my case, the person who was opposite me on the episode I went on was a liar, and was dragged onto another show to air that out...

[ramf02]

you were on truster??

[amsmith170]

No, I was on the RB show in Jan of 94 (ep. was "You Broke My Heart"). She got dragged onto Ricki Lake by her friends about a month later...
