David Frost, known for Nixon interview, dies

David Frost, known for Nixon interview, dies
"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."
