You would think after well over 20 years on WWLTV that that was the only station I appeared on with costume ideas and segments... oh, nay, nay. I've appeared on all New Orleans stations and channels over the years, with this video being from WGNO and filmed in our place on Frenchmen Street in 2012!

Tis the season for Revelry and Remembrance.
Here's another WWLTV "Eye on Carnival" segment I did with my wonderful dear friend, Frank Davis, among so many others.
This unique segment dealt with the humongous Doubloon collection I inherited from my father Charles.
Happy Carnival!

Colorful image of the Carnival set for the WWL Louisiana Morning News. Featured in the center, a faux New Orleans gallery of textured glass panels stretching down to a low railing. Appearing in between the glass panels are, from the left, Grand Marshal Marty Graw, former WWL reporter Colleen Seeley, and Professor Carl Nivale. The Grand Marshal, dressed in his signature gold jacket and bejewelled cap, holds his traditional gold fan. Ms. Seeley is dressed in a deep green dress, with a gold lame wrap around her shoulders. The Professor is in his traditional black robe & mantel, wearing his Kabuki traveling hat. Below the railing is a clear glass panel etched with the logo for WWL TV 4. The studio is bathed in purple, gold, and green lighting. The trio are surrounded by video screens displaying colored Carnival beads, and a faux window featuring a morning view of the Vieux Carre.
Reveleers, we all need to remember the good things in life; like Carnival and Mardi Gras in the Gulf South! Let's flood Bluesky with images of our Carnival revelry, and the importance of #OurCarnivalHeritage!
