"Frost began his career almost fresh out of college as the host of an early 1960s BBC satirical news show 'That Was The Week That Was,' then a pioneering program that ruthlessly lampooned politicians."
I remember that show well. There was not much satire on TV in those days. It was for that silly show that I remember Frost best, although he was later established as a serious reporter, having interviewed the last eight British prime ministers and the last seven U.S. presidents before Obama.
"In 2008 a new generation was introduced to Frost's work with the Oscar-nominated movie 'Frost/Nixon,' starring Michael Sheen as Frost and Frank Langella as Nixon."
