Nebby: Rick Sebak's Tales of Greater Pittsburgh

My Interview with Fred (1x7)

Air date: Oct 10, 2019

On Monday, October 19, 1987, at 2 in the afternoon, producer Rick Sebak and a small TV crew from WQED met Fred Rogers in the small studio apartment he kept in the Cathedral Mansions apartments on Ellsworth Avenue in the Oakland part of Pittsburgh. Rick was putting together a program titled "Our Neighbor Fred Rogers" to help celebrate the upcoming 20th anniversary of Fred's national children's program called "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood," and this would be the centerpiece interview. This program includes many previously unseen parts of the interview, full of good stories and life lessons from Fred Rogers, a really wonderful teacher.
