"The Nite Show Celebrates 60 Years of Great TV on WABI" will feature interviews with George Hale & Walt Abbott; former news anchors Don Colson & Felicia Knight; the folks who played the roles of "Bozo the Clown" & "Ringmaster Bob" in the 1960s, Mike Dolley & Bob Woodbury; and the longest tenured current members of the TV 5 news team, Chris Ewing & Tim Throckmorton. The show will also include a featured performance from The Nite Show's house band, The Jump City Jazz Band, as well as a comedy bit that will bring together many of the current anchors of the TV 5 news team. The Nite Show's longtime announcer Joe Kennedy will also be on hand for the show's first special in an earlier time slot on WABI.

"This show is unique to Maine and really to most local TV markets," said WABI program director Steve Hiltz. "We have been airing special 'Time Capsules' that look back on WABI's history, but with 'The Nite Show' we had the opportunity to feature some of our most well-known personalities in a setting that is fun, unpredictable, and popular. This one-hour special will truly be something fun to watch."
