Hot Hero Sandwich Archives: A Viewer’s Guide to Hot Hero Sandwich

by G. Jack Urso

 
My latest acquisition for the Hot Hero Sandwich Archives is the six-page A Viewer’s Guide to Hot Hero Sandwich. It was written by Cultural Information Services (CIStems, Inc.), which lists itself as “a nonprofit resourcing agency and publisher of a biweekly review of the arts/media designed for community leaders.” Further, CIStems granted permission for “newspapers, libraries, educational, and religious institutions and community groups” to reprint the publication in whole or part.

Readers will note that two celebrities appearing in the photo lineup of interviews conducted by Dr. Tom Cottle include the Rev. Jesse Jackson and opera singer Beverly Sills, who actually did not appear in the series. The Sills photo is a standard headshot, but Rev. Jackson's photo shares the same background as used with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Coretta Scott King (which are screen shots from their interviews). This suggests the segment with Jackson was filmed, but not used. 

The guide provides a profile of all the show elements we’re familiar with, music, sketches, recurring  characters, and interviews. It is suggested that readers magnify the images of download them (right click then "Save Image As") for  better viewing.
