The show is your basic talk show. It has been compared to Letterman in format. The show is hosted
by Rob Linkhart, a middle school physical education teacher from Merrillville, Indiana. While living and working
in Evanston, Illinois, Rob researched producing his own TV show through the Evanston Community Television
Corporation. (ECTV) It was Rob's dream while growing up to be on TV. At ECTV he planned to do a variety/talk show featuring local celebrities and talent. He also wanted to perform in comedy sketches that he throught up. Rob found a volunteer crew and ventured out on the cable wires. The first half-hour show, completed in early 1990, was... how can I put this lightly? DRECK! CRUD! AWFUL!!! But it was an enjoyable effort. The show got better very quickly. The volunteer crew stuck together, and soon enough the show grew to be a hit. After about a year, The Rob Linkhart Show was pumping out an hour long, "live" to air show every other Friday night. We've produced over 125 shows! The core volunteer crew members are still active! We've won awards and press coverage! And we've even survived a kidney transplant and a wedding!!!
