The Hillerman interview after was also fun to watch.

Thanks for posting! 8)

Yes, interesting interview.

In the 1984 John Hillerman interview, he mentions that Tom hurt his leg "doing a show about softball". (obviously "Squeeze Play")

I thought maybe that was the reason Magnum was in bed in the (awful) episode "Smaller Than Life", but I don't think it was filmed that much out of order.

Thanks or sharing. It's quite an unpolished and earnest Selleck. Amazing what media training and experience can do for you. Interesting that she brings up the 21st birthday watch. He doesn't mention what kind of watch it was though.

Cool find. Who knew so many stars did interviews for local Nebraska reporters? It reminds me a bit of Jiminy Glick.
