How to Tap Dance the News, 1984

Sondra Lowell

Writer & performer Sondra Lowell served in a regular feature called "The Tap Dancing Newscaster" on KABC's Ken and Bob Company morning radio show. Lowell would sing the current news stories to the tune of "Tea for Two" while accompanying her singing with her live tap dancing.

This 1984 short comedy/performance art video reveals Lowell's actual gig on the long-standing radio show. She also offers her tongue-in-cheek career advice to all those wannabe tap dancing newscasters out there.
